title: [French adaptation and validation of the Carroll rating scale for depression].
abstract: The authors translated the Carroll Rating Scale for depression published in 1982. They evaluated the reliability of this scale in 50 normal volunteers. They validated the French Version against the Hamilton Rating Scale and the Beck Depression Inventory. The translation has been shown to be reliable. The correlation between the Hamilton Rating Scale and the Carroll Rating Scale is better than the one between the Hamilton Rating Scale and the Beck Depression Inventory. The Carroll Rating Scale appears to be useful for a quick evaluation of depressive symptoms.
