“…The discussion will begin with the most popular of the child depression checklists, the Child Depression Inventory (CDI; Kovacs, 1992). This will then be followed by a discussion of the Children's Depression Rating Scale-Revised (CDRS; Poznanski & Mokros, 1999), the Children's Depression Scale (CDS; Tisher & Lang, 1983), and the Reynolds Child Depression Scale (RCDS; Reynolds, 1989).…”

This study examined the relations between performance on alternative measures of childhood depression and diagnosis of depressive disorder. Hospitalized inpatient children (N = 170, ages 7-13) with a diagnosis of depressive disorder (Research Diagnostic Criteria) were compared with a matched sample of patients whose diagnoses excluded depression. Children and parents completed four standardized depression scales plus measures designed to assess associated features including hopelessness, self-esteem, and internalizing symptoms. The results indicated that alternative depression measures, whether completed by children or parents, yielded scores that were significantly higher for children with a diagnosis of depression; parent ratings of severity of depression were consistently higher among the measures than the child ratings; optimal cutoff scores derived for each measure correctly classified approximately 60% of depressed and nondepressed cases; different cutoff scores were required for the same measure, depending on whether children or parents were the raters; and using a battery of measures and combining these in a stepwise discriminant function yielded over 80% classification accuracy. The implications of the results for selection of cases for clinical research are discussed.

A parent form of the Children's Depression Inventory: Reliability and validity in nonclinical populations

A parent form of the Children's Depression Inventory (CDI) was investigated in a nonclinical population. In Study 1, the CDI was administered to 50 children and their mothers. One month later, the CDI was readministered to 45 children and their mothers. Children's and mothers' CDI ratings were correlated significantly at both Time 1 (r = .37) and Time 2 (r = .59). Test‐retest reliability of the Parent‐CDI over the 1‐month interval was significant (r = .75). In Study 2, 96 children were rated by mothers on the CDI. Eighty‐one of these children rated themselves on the CDI, and 72 were rated by teachers on the Children's Depression Rating Scale (CDRS). The Parent‐CDI was found to be correlated significantly with both the CDI (r = .66) and the CDRS (r = .64). Internal consistency of the Parent‐CDI was demonstrated by both a split‐half and an item‐total analysis. Merits and limitations of this parent form of the CDI for use within a nonclinical population are discussed.
