As part of a longitudinal study of depression in adolescents, the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D) was administered to 550 students 3 times, at the beginning of the seventh, eighth, and ninth grades. Blacks and females had higher scores than did whites and males. Scores of blacks and males declined more over the 3 year period than did those of females and whites. The stability of individual students' depression scores was less consistent than the overall distributions with 1 and 2 year correlations reaching only 0.53 and 0.36, respectively. The best predictor of subsequent year CES-D scores was the previous year's score. Undesirable life events and family adaptability were significant but less important predictors.
作为青少年抑郁症纵向研究的一部分，对550名学生在七年级、八年级和九年级开始时进行了3次流行病学研究中心抑郁量表（CES-D）测试。黑人及女性的得分高于白人和男性。在这3年期间，黑人及男性的得分下降幅度比女性和白人更大。个别学生抑郁得分的稳定性不如总体分布一致，1年和2年的相关性分别仅为0.53和0.36。次年CES-D得分的最佳预测指标是上一年的得分。不良生活事件和家庭适应性是显著但不太重要的预测指标。
