本文探讨了使用流行病学中心抑郁量表（CES-D）的短形式版本在社区精神卫生研究与墨西哥移民的可行性，几个功能的三个出版的短版本的CES-D进行了检查，使用数据相结合的七个不同的墨西哥移民样本来自美国各地（N = 685）。结果表明，发表的短形式版本的CES-D是可靠的，他们占了大部分的差异分数从完整的CES-D，并有很少的证据表明，使用短形式衰减协会与其他概念相关的理解墨西哥移民的心理健康。虽然额外的验证研究是必要的，这项研究的结果表明，短形式版本的CES-D可以用来研究墨西哥移民的心理健康。
This article examines the feasibility of using a short-form version of the Center for Epidemiologic Studies-Depression Scale (CES-D) in community mental health research with Mexican immigrants, Several features of three published short versions of the CES-D were examined using data combined from seven diverse Mexican immigrant samples from across the United States (N = 685). Results indicate that published short-form versions of the CES-D are reliable, they account for most of the variance in scores from the full CES-D, and there is little evidence that the use of short forms attenuates associations with other concepts relevant to understanding the mental health of Mexican immigrants. Although additional validation research is necessary, the results of this study suggest that short-form versions of the CES-D can be used to study mental health among Mexican immigrants.
