“…Therefore, it constitutes a useful tool to identify dimensions of psychopathology according to the constructs and domains of function of the RDoC matrix in adolescent depression research. It is used both as a clinical measure to aid diagnostics and to measure treatment effect, as well as in clinical research on adolescent MDD in several countries [16][17][18][19][20][21]. The RADS-2 has demonstrated strong psychometric characteristics and good to excellent concurrent, convergent and discriminative validity in international studies with clinical [22] and non-clinical samples of adolescents [16,18].…”

Background: Due to the sharp global increase in prevalence of adolescent major depressive disorder as defined by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, we need internationally validated tools for multi-dimensional assessment. Reynolds Adolescent Depression Scale second edition (RADS-2) measures dysphoric mood, anhedonia/negative affect, negative self-evaluation and somatic complaints and is widely used internationally, but not yet available in Swedish. Aim: The aim of this study is to test the psychometric characteristics of the Swedish version of RADS-2 in a normative sample. Material and method: Data was gathered from junior and high school students in Northern Sweden (N ¼ 637). We performed: 1. Confirmatory factor analysis to examine the 4-factor structure proposed by Reynolds, 2. Measurement invariance analysis for sex (girls, boys) and age group (12-15 years, 16-20 years). 3. Reliability testing and 4. Tests for concurrent, discriminant and convergent validity using Beck's Youth Inventories of Emotional and Social Impairment Depression and Anger subscales, the Patient Reported Outcome Measurements Information System, Anxiety and Friends subscales and the World Health Organization Wellness Index. Results: The sample consisted of n ¼ 637 students (n ¼ 389 girls and n ¼ 248 boys), mean age 15.73 (SD ¼ 1.76); 12-20 years. The 4-factor structure was confirmed, as well as measurement invariance for sex and age group. Reliability was acceptable to excellent for all subscales and RADS-2 total scale. Concurrent, convergent and discriminant validity was good. Conclusion: The Swedish version of RADS-2 showed acceptable reliability and validity in a Swedish normative sample.

“…Scores range from 30 to 120, with a 77 or above considered a positive score for further review, screening, or referral. Three studies were reviewed for this article (Hyun, Nam, Kang, & Reynolds, 2009; Li, DiGiuseppe, & Froh, 2006; Reynolds & Mazza, 1998). All three studies found the instrument to demonstrate high reliability ranging from 0.88 to 0.93.…”

“…Reynolds [ 12 ] proposed four scales: Anhedonia/ Negative Affect, Somatic Complaints, Negative Self-Evaluation and Dysphoric Mood. The RADS has been extensively employed in a variety of topics, samples and nationalities presenting adequate psychometric properties [ 23 – 27 ]. The Spanish version, was used for the present study [ 28 – 30 ].…”

The main purpose of the present study was to assess the depressive symptomatology and to gather new validity evidences of the Reynolds Depression Scale-Short form (RADS-SF) in a representative sample of youths. The sample consisted of 2914 adolescents with a mean age of 15.85 years (SD = 1.68). We calculated the descriptive statistics and internal consistency of the RADS-SF scores. Also, confirmatory factor analyses (CFAs) at the item level and successive multigroup CFAs to test measurement invariance, were conducted. Latent mean differences across gender and educational level groups were estimated, and finally, we studied the sources of validity evidences with other external variables. The level of internal consistency of the RADS-SF Total score by means of Ordinal alpha was .89. Results from CFAs showed that the one-dimensional model displayed appropriate goodness of-fit indices with CFI value over .95, and RMSEA value under .08. In addition, the results support the strong measurement invariance of the RADS-SF scores across gender and age. When latent means were compared, statistically significant differences were found by gender and age. Females scored 0.347 over than males in Depression latent variable, whereas older adolescents scored 0.111 higher than the younger group. In addition, the RADS-SF score was associated with the RADS scores. The results suggest that the RADS-SF could be used as an efficient screening test to assess self-reported depressive symptoms in adolescents from the general population.
