CDRS-R

The CDRS-R (Children’s Depression Rating Scale - Revised) is a widely used tool for assessing the severity of depressive symptoms in children and adolescents. It consists of 17 items evaluating areas such as mood, guilt, self-esteem, social withdrawal, and physical symptoms. Each item is scored on a scale from 0 to 5, with higher scores indicating greater severity. The total score is calculated by summing the scores of all items, resulting in a range from 0 to 113.

The CDRS-R is a copyrighted tool, and its use may be subject to specific licensing requirements depending on the context. Thus, a value set with NCI terms is provided.

The NCI terms don't describe exactly what is part of the instrument - but give more of an overall theme of each question which can be a solution for future database integration of items of psychiatric instruments into terminology databases.
