Description
Designed to screen for depression in children, the RCDS-2 retains the 30 items used in the original measure but presents updated normative data. Children are asked to answer questions about how they have been feeling during the past 2 weeks. All items are worded in the present tense to elicit current symptoms status. A short form, ideal for screening, is also available. Learn more about the RCDS-2 Screening Form.
Features and benefits:
1. Appropriate for children ages 7-13 years.
2. No scoring key is needed—the RCDS-2 form is presented in a convenient carbonless form. All scoring and administration information is presented in the brightly colored Test Booklet.
3. A new standardization sample of students drawn from 11 states is stratified to match U.S. Census statistics for gender and ethnic background. T scores and percentile ranges are provided for the total standardization sample, by gender, by grade, and by gender for each grade.
4. Maps onto the symptoms of depressive disorders outlined in the DSM-IV™.
