The Birleson Depression Self-Rating Scale (DSRS). Clinical evaluation in an adolescent inpatient population.
The Birleson DSRS, a depression self-rating scale for children, was evaluated in a group of adolescent psychiatric inpatients and a community-based group of adolescents. The DSRS was a valid measure of depression but slightly less powerful with these patients than with children. The DSRS might be a useful tool for screening of depressive symptoms, at least in clinical settings.
