“…At the baseline of the Whitehall II study when the participants were aged 35–55 years, the sensitivity of the GHQ against the CIS was 73% although specificity was slightly worse at 78% (Stansfeld & Marmot, 1992). In a vulnerable, very old population living in residential homes in The Netherlands, sensitivity for CES-D for depressive and/or anxiety disorders exceeded 80% but specificity was lower, at 61% (Dozeman et al 2011). Among postpartum women, a 60% sensitivity and 90% specificity was observed for the CES-D (Boyd et al 2005).…”

BackgroundDiagnosis of depressive disorder using interviewer-administered instruments is expensive and frequently impractical in large epidemiological surveys. The aim of this study was to assess the validity of three self-completion measures of depressive disorder and other psychiatric disorders in older people against an interviewer-administered instrument.MethodA random sample stratified by sex, age and social position was selected from the Whitehall II study participants. This sample was supplemented by inclusion of depressed Whitehall II participants. Depressive disorder and other mental disorders were assessed by the interviewer-administered structured revised Clinical Interview Schedule (CIS-R) in 277 participants aged 58–80 years. Participants also completed a computerized self-completion version of the CIS-R in addition to the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ) and the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D).ResultsThe mean total score was similar for the interviewer-administered (4.43) and self-completion (4.35) versions of the CIS-R [95% confidence interval (CI) for difference −0.31 to 0.16]. Differences were not related to sex, age, social position or presence of chronic physical illness. Sensitivity/specificity of self-completion CIS-R was 74%/98% for any mental disorder and 75%/98% for depressive episode. The corresponding figures were 86%/87% and 78%/83% for GHQ and 77%/89% and 89%/86% for CES-D.ConclusionsThe self-completion computerized version of the CIS-R is feasible and has good validity as a measure of any mental disorder and depression in people aged ⩾ 60 years. GHQ and CES-D also have good criterion validity as measures of any mental disorder and depressive disorder respectively.

“…The full version of the CES-D (Radloff, 1977) is a well-established and widely used tool for evaluating depression and has been demonstrated to have good psychometric properties in multiple populations (Al-Modallal, 2010; Dozeman et al, 2011; Radloff, 1991; Roberts, Lewinsohn, & Seeley, 1991; Ros et al, 2011). The items on the shortened version available in Wave IV of Add Health assess whether and how often participants experienced the following depressive symptoms within the past seven days: sadness, depression, irritability, inability to shake the blues, feelings of worthlessness, trouble concentrating, fatigue, feeling disliked, feeling unhappy, and not enjoying life.…”

The goals of this study were to evaluate the effects of emotional support from friends and parents at two time points (adolescence and adulthood) on adult depression in a nationally representative sample of survivors of childhood sexual abuse (CSA), and examine whether the associations were moderated by the identity of the perpetrator (parent/caregiver vs. not). Data was taken from Waves I and IV of the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (Add Health). The study sample included 1,238 Add Health participants with a history of CSA and an equivalently sized comparison group of individuals with no history of CSA. Parental support was measured using four items from each wave that assessed the warmth of participants' relationships with their parents and their satisfaction with those relationships. Friend support in adolescence was measured using participants' perceptions of how much their friends cared about them and in adulthood using participants' self-reported number of close friends. Depression was measured using a 10-item subscale of the CES-D. Support from friends and parents in adulthood were significantly associated with lower odds of adult depression in CSA survivors with a history of non-parent/caregiver abuse. Among survivors of parent/caregiver abuse, emotional support was not significantly associated with adult depression regardless of when or by whom it was provided. Emotional support in adulthood from friends and parents is associated with reduced odds of adult depression in CSA survivors, but only in cases where the abuse was perpetrated by someone other than a parent or caregiver.

“…Not surprisingly, the rates of clinically relevant symptoms of depression and anxiety in people living in long-term care facilities have been estimated to be as high as 35% (Dozeman et al, 2008;Thakur and Blazer, 2008). The prevalence of anxiety disorders alone has been estimated at 6.7% by Smalbrugge et al (2003) in a review focusing on institutionalized elderly people.…”

The center for epidemiological studies depression scale (CES‐D) is an adequate screening instrument for depressive and anxiety disorders in a very old population living in residential homes

Abstract: The use of one single instrument to screen for both depression and anxiety disorders at the same time has obvious advantages in this very old population. The CES-D seems to be a suitable instrument for this purpose.
