The prevalence of depression among women living with HIV/AIDS is elevated, compared with women in the general population and men diagnosed with HIV/AIDS. Although symptoms of HIV may overlap with somatic symptoms of depression, little research has explored how well screening tools accurately assess depression rather than symptoms of HIV/AIDS among women. The present study examined the utility of a widely used tool for assessing depression symptoms among women living with HIV/AIDS. Data are from the Women's Interagency HIV Study (WIHS), a multisite, longitudinal cohort study of women living with HIV/AIDS (n = 1,329) and seronegative women (n = 541) matched on key risk factors for HIV/AIDS. Confirmatory factor analysis-based measurement invariance tests of the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D) were conducted to determine whether women with HIV and those without HIV responded to the scale similarly. Results supported measurement invariance of CES-D scores. Findings suggest that the CES-D can be used to assess for burden of depression symptoms among women diagnosed with HIV/AIDS.

与普通女性群体及被诊断为感染艾滋病毒/艾滋病的男性相比，感染艾滋病毒/艾滋病女性中的抑郁症患病率更高。尽管艾滋病毒的症状可能与抑郁症的躯体症状重叠，但很少有研究探讨筛查工具在准确评估抑郁症方面的效果如何，而不是评估感染艾滋病毒/艾滋病女性中的艾滋病毒/艾滋病症状。本研究考察了一种广泛使用的工具在评估感染艾滋病毒/艾滋病女性抑郁症症状方面的效用。数据来自女性机构间艾滋病毒研究（WIHS），这是一项多地点的纵向队列研究，研究对象为感染艾滋病毒/艾滋病的女性（n = 1329）和血清阴性女性（n = 541），这些女性在艾滋病毒/艾滋病的关键风险因素上相匹配。对基于验证性因素分析的流行病学研究中心抑郁量表（CES-D）进行测量不变性测试，以确定感染艾滋病毒的女性和未感染艾滋病毒的女性对该量表的反应是否相似。结果支持CES-D得分的测量不变性。研究结果表明，CES-D可用于评估被诊断为感染艾滋病毒/艾滋病女性的抑郁症状负担。（PsycINFO数据库记录）
