Technical Information

Comprehensive data are presented to demonstrate the reliability and validity of the RADS-2. Reliability data (internal consistency, test-retest, and SEMs) are presented for the Depression Total scale and the four subscales. The validity of the RADS-2 was examined in terms of content validity, criterion-related validity, construct validity (convergent, discriminant, and factorial), and clinical validity. Reliability and validity studies included a school-based sample of 154 children who were participants in one of several ongoing research protocols. The sample consisted of children ranging in age from 8 - 17.
