This study examined the measurement of depressive symptoms among American Indian adolescents as assessed by the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D), Youth Self Report (YSR), and the Tri-Ethnic Center's for Prevention Research Depression Scale (TEDS). This analysis demonstrated that the TEDS had good internal consistency, demonstrated construct validity, and shared a commonality with the other two measures, but had limited predictive validity. The YSR had strong predictive validity but, like the CES-D, showed weakness in construct validity. Unexpectedly, the CES-D and YSR revealed enculturated youth were at risk of depressive symptoms. These findings do not generate unequivocal support for any one measure, but suggest that their strengths and potential shortcomings should be taken into account when assessing depressive symptoms among American Indian youth.
本研究考察了通过流行病学研究中心抑郁量表（CES - D）、青少年自我报告（YSR）以及三族裔预防研究中心抑郁量表（TEDS）对美国印第安青少年抑郁症状的测量。该分析表明，TEDS具有良好的内部一致性，证明了结构效度，并且与其他两项测量有共同之处，但预测效度有限。YSR具有很强的预测效度，但与CES - D一样，在结构效度方面存在不足。出乎意料的是，CES - D和YSR显示，受文化熏陶的青少年有出现抑郁症状的风险。这些发现并未明确支持任何一种测量方法，但表明在评估美国印第安青少年的抑郁症状时，应考虑到它们的优势和潜在缺点。
