The purpose Puerto Rican/Caribbean (n = 68), Mexican (n = 64), and Central/South American (n = 18). For the three subgroups, the PDSS total score alpha reliabilities were .96, .95, and .95, respectively. Based on the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis, a cutoff score of 60 is recommended as a positive screen for combined major and minor depression. This cutoff point obtained a sensitivity of 84% and specificity of 84%. When compared to the original English version of the PDSS, the psychometrics for the Spanish version were slightly lower but well within the acceptable range.
目的是针对波多黎各/加勒比地区（n = 68）、墨西哥（n = 64）和中/南美洲（n = 18）人群。对于这三个亚组，PDSS总分的α信度分别为0.96、0.95和0.95。基于受试者工作特征（ROC）曲线分析，建议将60分作为重度和轻度抑郁症合并筛查的阳性临界值。该临界值的灵敏度为84%，特异度为84%。与PDSS的原始英文版相比，西班牙语版的心理测量学指标略低，但仍在可接受范围内。
