Comparative analysis of pediatric depression measures in clinical sample: evaluation of the PROMIS pediatric depression short form.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Examine the psychometric properties of the PROMIS Depression Short From 2.0 (PROMIS-D-SF), Caregiver and Youth Report in comparison with a legacy measure of depression, the Short Mood and Feelings Questionnaire, using a clinical sample.

Methods

Participants were 233 youth and caregivers referred to a behavioral health clinic by their pediatrician. Participants and their caregivers completed PROMIS-D-SF (youth and caregiver proxy), Short Mood and Feelings (SMFQ) (youth and caregiver proxy), and Semi-structured Interview. Descriptive, correlational, psychometric, receiver operating characteristic (ROC), and exploratory factor analysis were conducted for both measures.

Results

PROMISD-SF youth and caregiver correlations with the youth and caregiver SMFQ were 0.
