流行病学研究中心抑郁量表（CES-D：L。S. Radloff，1977）使用来自国家青少年健康纵向研究的青少年子样本（N = 10，691）进行了检查。配置和度量不变性，以及功能和标量等效性，进行了检查，为英美，墨西哥裔美国人，古巴裔美国人，和波多黎各裔美国人的青少年12-18岁。在每个组中的验证性因素分析（CFA）提供的证据，为欧洲和墨西哥裔美国青少年，但不是古巴和波多黎各青年的神经不变性。一个2组CFA的盎格鲁和墨西哥裔美国人表现出部分度量不变性，这些群体。多组结构方程模型表明CES-D分数和自尊之间的关系相似，所有4组，支持跨种族的功能和标量等效。这些结果对在跨种族研究中使用CES-D以及更广泛地评估和治疗拉丁美洲人的抑郁症具有影响。
The cross-ethnic measurement equivalence of the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D: L. S. Radloff, 1977) was examined using a subsample of adolescents (N = 10,691) from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health. Configural and metric invariance, as well as functional and scalar equivalence, were examined for Anglo American, Mexican American, Cuban American, and Puerto Rican American youths age 12-18 years. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) in each group provided evidence of configural invariance for European and Mexican American adolescents but not for Cuban and Puerto Rican youths. A 2-group CFA for Anglo and Mexican Americans demonstrated partial metric invariance for these groups. Multigroup structural equation modeling indicated similar relations between CES-D scores and self-esteem for all 4 groups, supporting cross-ethnic functional and scalar equivalence. The results have implications for using the CES-D in cross-ethnic research and, more broadly, for the assessment and treatment of depression in Latinos.
