Test-retest reliability and factor structure of the Danish 6-item version of the Hopkins Symptom Checklist-core depression (SCL-6) in adolescents.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Short efficient questionnaires to detect depressive symptoms in adolescents are sparsely evaluated. We aimed to examine the test-retest reliability and structural and convergent validity of the Danish version of the 6-item version of the Hopkins Symptom Checklist-core depression (SCL-6) in adolescents.

Methods

Our study population consisted of 122 adolescents. Ninety-one adolescents completed SCL-6 (test sample) in the first round, 82 adolescents completed SCL-6 in the second round (retest sample), with 66 completing the questionnaire both rounds (test-retest sample). Reliability was evaluated by intraclass correlation (ICC) and standard error of measurement (SEM), and structural validity was evaluated by confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and Mokken analyses.
