Measures of depression and depressive symptoms: Beck Depression Inventory‐II (BDI‐II), Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES‐D), Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS), Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), and Patient Health Questionnaire‐9 (PHQ‐9)

Prevalence of antenatal depression and associated factors among pregnant women in Aneded woreda, North West Ethiopia: a community based cross-sectional study

“…The finding was consistent with a study done in Debre Tabor town (11.8%) [17], in Dubti Hospital Northeast Ethiopia (17.9%) [10], in South Asians (17.5%) [23], at Khartoum maternity hospital in Sudan (13.4%) [24], and in State of South Minas Gerais, Brazil (14.8%) [25] and lower than the findings from Gondar university hospital, Northwest Ethiopia (23%) [18], Maichew town, North Ethiopia (31.1%) [6], Adama (31.2%) [19], Shashemane (25.6%) [26], Addis Ababa, Ethiopia (24.94%) [27], Mombasa, Kenya (20%) [28], Nairobi, Kenya (32.9) [8], Nigeria (24.5%) [29], Western Saudi Arabia (57.5%) [25], India (36.75%) [30], Pakistan (18–80%) [31], Karachi, Pakistan (81%) [32] and Middle Easterners (19.5%) [33].…”

Depressive Symptoms and Category Learning: A Preregistered Conceptual Replication Study

“…To conclude, the absence of an executive functions-related deficit in people with elevated depressive symptoms is consistent with previous findings focusing on different tasks (e.g. Bunce et al, 2008), and is an important finding as it relates to many people: About 36% of the students had a CES-D score above 17 (above the cutoff of 16, pointing at clinically relevant depressive symptoms; Smarr & Keefer, 2011).…”

Evaluating Tablet Computers as a Survey Tool in Rural Communities

“…The absence of differences between paper‐and‐pencil and tablet computers in the mean responses and reliabilities for the CES‐D and RFQ scales suggests that tablet computers are appropriate substitutes for paper‐and‐pencil formats in rural, low‐income groups. Researchers typically report high Cronbach's alpha for the CES‐D (ranging from 0.85 to 0.90), which is in line with our findings . It is noteworthy, however, that Cronbach's alpha was low for the promotion subscale of the RFQ.…”
