“…Radloff (1977) reported an overall CES-D alpha coefficient of .85 in a general population sample. For the CES-DAFF an alpha of .85 was reported in two community samples (Gatz and Hurwicz 1990;Wong 2000) and an alpha coefficient of .88 in a nonclinical college student sample (Devins et al 1988). …”

In this research we investigated the role of mindfulness-based attention in mitigating possible negative consequences of experiencing depressive affect. A sample of 278 undergraduate college students completed selfreport measures of depressive affect, negative cognitions, and mindfulness-based attention. As expected, depressive affect was positively related to negative cognitions, mindfulness-based attention was inversely related to negative cognitions, and the strength of the relationship between depressed affect and negative cognitions was significantly moderated by mindfulness-based attention. More specifically, a simple slope analysis revealed that individuals low in mindfulness-based attention evidenced a statistically significant relationship between depressive affect and negative cognitions, whereas individuals who are high in mindfulness-based attention did not. These findings support the extant literature suggesting that the general tendency to be mindful may be a protective factor against the development of psychopathology and enhance mental health.

Homeless adults have high rates of hepatitis C virus infection (HCV) and low levels of HCV knowledge. This study reports results of an interdisciplinary, community-based intervention using stakeholder cooperation, case management, risk factor identification, and modification of dysfunctional psychosocial factors to increase HCV knowledge among homeless adults (N0747). Data are from a randomized quasi-experimental study, with the major goal of evaluating the effectiveness of a Nurse Case Managed Intervention compared to a Standard Intervention, encouraging completion of a three-series hepatitis A/hepatitis B vaccination program.

“…Responses from each item are summed to yield a total score ranging from 0 to 60. Scores of 16 or higher indicate possible clinical depression (Radloff, 1977;Wong, 2000). Cronbach's alpha for the overall CES-D scale was .85.…”

This study examines the predictors of perceived health status among homeless adults with latent tuberculosis (TB) in Los Angeles, especially in relation to gender differences. Total, 415 men and women enrolled in a TB-adherence trial completed baseline assessments concerning health status. Results indicated that women were more likely than men to report being in fair or poor health and to have experienced health problems. More women than men self-reported daily drug use and poor mental health. Homeless women were also more likely than their male counterparts to receive support from non–drug-users. Homeless adults who reported fair or poor health were also more likely than those who reported better health to have used injection drugs, to report experiencing depressive symptoms and poor mental health, and to have been homeless more than 3 years. Predictors of fair or poor health included being female and experiencing more depressive symptoms.
