The validity of the Children's Depression Scale and of its parent-report version were examined on a sample of normal and clinically referred adolescents. The CDS and CDS-A discriminated adequately between clinical and non-clinical Ss, as well as between depressed and non-depressed. Only the CDS discriminated between depressed and 'sad', i.e. parental report did not discriminate between these two groups. A high correlation was found between the CDS and the Children's Depression Inventory. Internal consistency of the scale was found to be adequate. However, no support was found for the subscale structure of the CDS as proposed by its authors.
在一组正常及临床转介的青少年样本中，对儿童抑郁量表及其家长报告版本的效度进行了检验。儿童抑郁量表（CDS）和家长报告版的儿童抑郁量表（CDS-A）能够充分区分临床组与非临床组研究对象，以及抑郁组与非抑郁组。只有CDS能够区分抑郁组与“悲伤”组，即家长报告无法区分这两组。发现CDS与儿童抑郁量表之间存在高度相关性。该量表的内部一致性良好。然而，未发现支持该量表作者所提议的CDS分量表结构的证据。
