Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale for Children (CES-DC) 儿童抑郁量表

synopsis（简介）

The Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale for Children (CES-DC) is a 20 item self-report questionnaire for young people between the ages of 6 and 17. It asks young people to rate how many depressive symptoms they have experienced in the last week. This measure is useful for tracking depressive symptoms over time.

流行病学研究中心儿童抑郁量表（CES-DC）是一项针对 6 至 17 岁青少年的 20 项自我报告问卷。它要求青少年评定自己在上周出现过多少抑郁症状。该量表有助于追踪一段时间内的抑郁症状。

Validity and Reliability（效度和信度）

Psychometric characteristics of the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale for Children (CES-DC) were evaluated with 148 child and adolescent psychiatric inpatients (Faulstich et al., 1986). The sample were diagnosed with major depression, dysthymic disorder or another serious mental disorder requiring an inpatient admission. Psychometric properties were adequate, with an internal consistency of α  =  .89, and sensitivity was 80% with a cutoff score of 15, however the scale was not able to differentiate between inpatients admitted for depression or another mental illness.

流行病学研究中心儿童抑郁量表（CES-DC）的心理测量特征是在 148 名儿童和青少年精神病住院患者中进行评估的（Faulstich 等人，1986 年）。样本被诊断为重度抑郁症、癔症或其他需要住院治疗的严重精神障碍。该量表的心理测量特性良好，内部一致性为 α = .89，敏感度为 80%，临界值为 15 分，但该量表无法区分住院患者是因为抑郁症还是其他精神疾病入院的。

Scoring and Interpretation（得分解释）

Scores are presented as a total raw score (0 to 60) and two percentiles. Higher scores represent higher levels of symptoms. As defined by Weissman et al. (1980), a score of 15 or above is considered to be indicative of clinically significant depressive symptoms.

The Clinical Percentile represents the respondents score compared to children independently diagnosed with Major Depression or Dysthymia (Faulstich et al., 1990), where a percentile rank of 50 represents a typical score for a depressed young person.

The Healthy Percentile represents the respondents scores compared to a sample of children with no identified mental health diagnosis (Faulstich et al., 1990). A percentile of 50 on the Healthy Percentile scale presents a typical score for a healthy young person.

分数以原始总分（0 至 60 分）和两个百分位数表示。分数越高，症状程度越严重。根据 Weissman 等人（1980 年）的定义，15 分或 15 分以上被认为是有临床意义的抑郁症状。
临床百分位数代表受测者与独立诊断为重度抑郁或癔症的儿童相比的得分（Faulstich 等人，1990 年），其中 50 百分位数代表抑郁青少年的典型得分。
健康百分位数代表的是受访者的得分与未被确诊患有精神疾病的儿童样本相比的情况（Faulstich 等人，1990 年）。健康百分位数表中 50 的百分位数代表健康青少年的典型分数。
