流行病学研究中心抑郁量表 (CES-D) 的有效性是通过纽约市 60 名波多黎各老年人样本进行评估的，其中一半人被临床诊断为抑郁症。该量表具有较高的内部一致性可靠性，能够强烈区分患者和非患者，并以预期的方式与理论上相关的变量相关。有一些证据表明，分数受到社会期望反应 (SDR) 的影响，在检查该人群中 CES-D 的相关性时应考虑这些影响。量表分数不会因面试官的不同而有所不同。总体而言，CES-D 似乎是研究波多黎各老年人抑郁情绪组内变异性的有用指标。
The validity of the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D) was assessed using a sample of 60 elderly Puerto Ricans in New York City, half of whom were diagnosed clinically as depressed. The scale was high internal consistentcy reliability, discriminates strongly between patients and nonpatients, and relates in the expected fashion to theoretically relevant variables. There is some evidence that scores are influenced by socially desirable responding (SDR) and that these effects should be considered when examining the correlates of the CES-D in this population. Scale scores do not differ by interviewer. Overall, the CES-D appears to be a useful measure for studying within-group variability in depressive mood among older Puerto Ricans.
