We developed the Hmong Adaptation of the Beck Depression Inventory (HABDI) and evaluated the instrument's psychometric characteristics. Also examined was the relationship between depression and demographic variables such as age, sex, length of stay in America, English-speaking ability, and social support in Hmong refugees. One hundred twenty-three Hmong living in Fresno County, between the ages of 18 and 66, participated in the study. The new measure demonstrated a high coefficient alpha (.93), and test-retest reliability (.92), and a significant mean score difference between the nondepressed and the depressed groups. Individual items were distributed evenly and correlated highly with the total depression score. The HABDI correctly identified 94% of depressed and 78% of nondepressed in the Hmong sample. The results suggest that quality of social support and years of education play important roles in buffering Hmong refugees against depression, whereas length of stay in America and number of social supports do not.
我们开发了《贝克抑郁量表》的苗族适应性版本（HABDI），并评估了该工具的心理测量特征。同时还研究了苗族难民中抑郁症与年龄、性别、在美国的居住时长、英语能力以及社会支持等人口统计学变量之间的关系。123名年龄在18至66岁之间、居住在弗雷斯诺县的苗族居民参与了这项研究。新测量方法显示出较高的阿尔法系数（0.93）、重测信度（0.92），且非抑郁组和抑郁组之间的平均得分存在显著差异。各个项目分布均匀，与总抑郁得分高度相关。HABDI在苗族样本中正确识别出了94%的抑郁者和78%的非抑郁者。结果表明，社会支持质量和受教育年限在缓冲苗族难民的抑郁情绪方面发挥着重要作用，而在美国的居住时长和社会支持数量则不然。
