Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale - Revised.

CES-D-R / CESD-R

What it measures

Depressive symptom frequency revised to align with DSM-IV MDD criteria (adds anhedonia, dysphoria, appetite/weight, sleep, concentration, suicidal ideation domains)

Length and format

20 items. Frequency response (0-4 'not at all/less than 1 day' to 'nearly every day for 2 weeks'), summed (self-report questionnaire)

Language versions

Spanish, and others (inherits much of the CES-D translation base; revised version newer so fewer validated translations than the original)
