First-stage measures of depressive symptoms need to demonstrate accuracy in capturing depression in diverse populations of youth. The research question in this study asked, 'How is the Reynolds Adolescent Depression Scale-2nd Edition (RADS-2) factor structure expressed in a sample of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex or queer adolescent students?' Reliability, validity and principal components with orthogonal rotation factor analysis testing were conducted on a sample of 265 school-based adolescents in grades 7-12, including 72 girls and 193 boys, who sought guidance for sexual orientation or gender identity issues in this secondary data analysis. Four factors were identified that each demonstrates adequate internal consistency reliability. The RADS-2 effectively captures the features of depressive symptoms in sexual minority adolescents.
