“…These scores were used to delineate three categories of respondents: those with minor depression (based on a CESD score of Ն16), those with minimal depression (CESD scores of 1-15, often referred to as subthreshold depressive syndrome), and those without any depressive symptoms (CESD score of 0). The cutoff for minor depression, although not indicative of a diagnosis of clinical depression, has previously been shown to effectively identify individuals with clinically significant levels of depressive symptoms in other studies of older adults (17) as well as with this sample of older Mexican Americans (2).…”

OBJECTIVE -To examine the separate and combined effects of depression and diabetes on the incidence of adverse health outcomes among older Mexican Americans. RESULTS -The interaction of diabetes and depression was found to be synergistic, predicting greater mortality, greater incidence of both macro-and microvascular complications, and greater incidence of disability in activities of daily living, even when controlling for sociodemographic characteristics such as sex, age, education, acculturation, and marital status. Importantly, this interaction was found to predict not only greater incidence but also earlier incidence of adverse events in older adults. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODSCONCLUSIONS -Whether a marker for underlying disease severity, an indicator of diminished self-care motivation, or the result of physiologic changes, the interaction of depression and diabetes has a synergistic effect on the health of older Mexican Americans, increasing the risk for poor outcomes. This is of particular clinical importance because although depression is often underrecognized in older adults, effective treatment is available and can result in improved medical outcomes.

“…A cutoff point of 16 and above indicates clinically significant levels of depressive symptoms. 29 Although the scale does not provide a diagnosis of clinical depression, it has been shown to predict both current and future clinical depression. 30 The Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale has been validated in patients with diabetes, 31 and the Spanish version has high validity and reliability (Cronbach's ␣, 0.90).…”

Introducción. El trastorno depresivo mayor es la segunda causa productora de discapacidad en Latinoamérica. No hay escalas validadas en Colombia para adolescentes. Objetivo. Evaluar la validez y la confiabilidad de la escala del Centro de Estudios Epidemiológicos para la Depresión en adolescentes colombianos en edad escolar. Materiales y métodos. Se llevó a cabo un estudio de validación de la escala con una muestra de adolescentes en edad escolar de Bucaramanga. Se evaluaron con la escala para depresión y la entrevista clínica estructurada. La escala fue aplicada nuevamente 3 a 28 días después. Se determinaron la validez de criterio, la consistencia interna y la reproducibilidad prueba reprueba. Resultados. Se evaluaron 390 adolescentes con edad promedio de 14,8±1,22 años. La prevalencia de trastorno depresivo mayor fue de 11,5%. El índice de consistencia, o alfa de Cronbach, fue de 0,85. El área bajo la curva según las características receptor operador fue de 0,82 y el punto de corte mayor o igual a 23 mostró una sensibilidad de 73,3%. Se encontró: especificidad de 73,6%, valor diagnóstico positivo de 26,6% y valor diagnóstico negativo de 95,5%. El coeficiente de concordancia de Lin fue de 0,75. Conclusión. La validez y la confiabilidad de la versión en español de la escala en adolescentes en edad escolar del Centro de Estudios Epidemiológicos para la Depresión, fueron similares a las informadas anteriormente, aunque cambió el punto de corte.Palabras clave: reproducibilidad de resultados, validez de las pruebas, trastorno depresivo mayor, psiquiatría del adolescente, escalas de valoración psiquiátrica, cribado. Validity and reliability of the Center for Epidemiologic Studies-Depression scale on Colombians adolescent studentsIntroduction. Major depressive disorder is the second major cause of adolescent psychological incapacitation in Latin-America. However, scales for detecting these disorders have not been validated for screening adolescents in Colombia. Objective. The validity and reliability of a Spanish translation of the Center for Epidemiologic Studies (CES-D)-Depression scale was assessed in adolescent students. Materials and methods. A validation study for a diagnostic scale was performed with a sample of 390 adolescent students from Bucaramanga, Santander Province, in northwestern Colombia. The students were evaluated by two methods: (a) the CPS-depression scale and (b) a semi-structured clinical interview. Three to 28 days after the interview, the scale was re-applied. Criterion validity, internal consistency and test-retest reliability was analyzed. Results. The mean age was 14.8±1.2 years old. The prevalence of major depressive disorder was 11.5%. Cronbach's alpha was 0.85. The area under the curve produced by the receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.82, and the cut point of ≥23 showed a sensitivity of 73.3%; specificity, 73.6%; positive predictive value, 26.6%, and negative predictive value, 95.5%. Lin´s coefficient of concordance was 0.75.
