The Inventory to Diagnose Depression (IDD) was administered to 177 American Indian adolescents attending a tribally administered boarding school. The psychometric properties in this population were studied and compared to those obtained when the Center for Epidemiologic Studies-Depression Scale (CES-D) was administered to a similar population. Analyses were performed on the scale items individually as well as on the continuous summary score and the dichotomous diagnosis. The internal consistency was very good (0.94 to 0.96). There were relatively few gender effects at the item level and none with respect to the diagnosis. IDD prevalence estimates of depression were much closer to the expected rates suggested by epidemiological studies than those generated by other self-report measures like the CES-D. These findings recommend the IDD for additional investigation in terms of its use with adolescent populations.
对就读于一所部落管理的寄宿学校的177名美国印第安青少年进行了抑郁诊断量表（IDD）测试。研究了该人群的心理测量特性，并与对类似人群进行流行病学研究中心抑郁量表（CES-D）测试时获得的特性进行了比较。对量表项目分别进行了分析，同时也对连续汇总得分和二分诊断进行了分析。内部一致性非常好（0.94至0.96）。在项目层面，性别效应相对较少，在诊断方面则没有性别效应。IDD对抑郁症的患病率估计比其他自我报告测量方法（如CES-D）得出的结果更接近流行病学研究建议的预期患病率。这些发现建议对IDD在青少年人群中的使用进行进一步研究。
