Meaningful comparison of depression symptoms requires that the measurement instrument has equivalent measurement properties among racial and ethnic groups. We tested the factorial validity and invariance of the Center for Epidemiologic Studies-Depression (CES-D) Scale among Black (n=610) and White (n=452) adolescent girls in the 12th grade. The invariance analyses were conducted by using LISREL...

Despite widespread use of the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale [CES-D], there are no investigations that examine its factor structure in a military sample. Separate confirmatory factor analyses were performed on responses to the CES-D obtained from 102 female and 102 male Canadian military peacekeepers in order to compare the fit of a four-factor intercorrelated (lower-order) m...

The Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D) was administered to 3,867 community dwelling adults. Cox proportional hazards procedures estimated the risk...

Microdeletions/duplications in the 22q11 region cause a variety of disorders, including DiGeorge syndrome (DGS; MIM 188400), Velocardiofacial syndrome (VCFS; MIM 192430) and Cat Eye syndrome (CES; MIM 115470). DGS and VCFS have a large clinical overlap and are both caused by deletions of a specific 1-3 Mb region on chromosome 22q11. The overall birth prevalence of 22q11 deletions appears to be ...
