Abstract: The three depression self rating scales, the Children's Depression Inventory(CDI), the Depression Self-Rating Scale for Children(DSRS), and the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale(CES-D), are used to screen for depression in Japanese adolescents. The present study incorporating these three scales and a semi-structured interview for determining DSM-IV depressive disorders aimed to test the ability of the scales to identify depressive disorders in a community sample of junior high school students in Japan. The receiver operating characteristics (ROC) analyses and stratum-specific likelihood ratios (SSLRs) were applied to the data sets of 286 community adolescents aged 12 to 14 years old. The ROC analyses revealed moderate convergent validity of these scales in detecting depressive disorders. The optimal cut-off points suggested by the ROC analyses were 31 for CDI, 24 for DSRS and 37 for CES-D, which were all higher than traditional cut-off points. Results of the SSLRs further demonstrated that these three scales were useful in screening for depressive disorders in Japanese community adolescents, applying the optimal cut-off points as noted.
