Objectives:

This study presents the psychometric characteristics of the Centre for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale (C.E.S.-D) in a sample of Portuguese young women analysing the severity.

Methods:

The sample was randomly selected using stratification by age. 177 young women with mean age of 20 participated in the study. The outcome variables included the C.E.S.-D and specific sub-scales. Internal consistency and factor analysis were conducted, as well as correlations.

Results:

Cronbach's alpha and factor analysis show a very similar pattern of psychometric characteristics found in the original study.

Conclusion:

The implications of the results for both theory and practice were discussed. Future research topics were discussed in terms of the development of new depression evaluation instruments for women.
