流行病学研究中心抑郁症（CES-D）量表已被用于评估癌症幸存者的抑郁症状水平，但尚未在非裔美国癌症幸存者中得到验证。目前的研究在216名非裔美国癌症幸存者中评估了CES-D的可靠性和有效性。计算Cronbach alpha来确定内部一致性信度，并计算ce - d与其他情绪状态测量（情绪状态简表和Bradburn积极和消极情绪量表）之间的相关性来评估并发效度。ce - d表现出可接受的内部一致性（alpha = 0.90），并且与其他情绪状态测量的显著相关性支持并发效度。这些分析表明，cs - d对于非裔美国癌症幸存者来说是一种可靠和有效的测量方法。平均CES-D评分（M = 15.7, SD = 11.89）进一步表明，该非裔美国癌症幸存者样本表现出显著水平的抑郁症状。
The Center for Epidemiologic Study-Depression (CES-D) Scale has been used to assess levels of depressive symptomatology in cancer survivors but has not been validated in African American cancer survivors. The current study assessed the reliability and validity of the CES-D in 216 African American cancer survivors. A Cronbach alpha was calculated to determine internal consistency reliability, and correlations were computed between the CES-D and other measure of mood states (Profile of Mood States-Short Form and Bradburn Positive and Negative Affect Scales) to assess concurrent validity. The CES-D demonstrated acceptable internal consistency (alpha = .90), and the concurrent validity was supported by significant correlations with other measures of mood states. These analyses indicate that the CES-D is a reliable and valid measure for use with African American cancer survivors. The mean CES-D score (M = 15.7, SD = 11.89) further suggests that this sample of African American cancer survivors exhibit significant levels of depressive symptomatology.
