Using receiver operating characteristic methods, the authors planned to assess the diagnostic accuracy of a measure of depression extracted from the Child Behavior Checklist in a group of 667 referred adolescents with DSM-III diagnoses. This depression scale was based on a depression factor found by Nurcombe et al. in Child Behavior Checklists from adolescent inpatients. Receiver operating characteristic analysis showed that Child Behavior Checklist-Nurcombe scores were able to discriminate between subjects with and without major depression with an accuracy comparable to that reported for the Dexamethasone Suppression Test (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve = 0.78).
作者们运用接受者操作特征方法，计划在一组667名被转诊的、患有DSM-III诊断的青少年中，评估从儿童行为量表中提取的一项抑郁测量指标的诊断准确性。该抑郁量表基于Nurcombe等人在青少年住院患者的儿童行为量表中发现的一个抑郁因子。接受者操作特征分析表明，儿童行为量表-Nurcombe评分能够区分患有和未患有重度抑郁症的受试者，其准确性与地塞米松抑制试验报告的准确性相当（接受者操作特征曲线下面积 = 0.78）。
