This is to present the factor structure and psychometric properties of a Spanish reduced 30-item version of the Revised Child Anxiety and Depression Scale (RCADS; Chorpita, Yim, Moffitt, Umemoto y Francis, 2000) applied to a sample of children and adolescents. This abbreviated form (RCADS-30) consists of six 5-item subscales assessing the same anxiety and depression syndromes as the original scale, that is, panic disorder, social phobia, separation anxiety disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and major depressive disorder. Data provide support for factorial validity, internal consistency, normative data, and convergent and discriminant validity of the RCADS-30. Psychometric properties and elevated correlations between both scales suggest that the abbreviated form is similar to the Spanish full version. The RCADS-30 is considered an appropriate multidimensional instrument for research as well as clinical settings.
En este estudio presentamos la estructura factorial y las propiedades psicométricas de una versión española reducida de 30 items de la Revised Child Anxiety and Depression Scale (RCADS; Chorpita, Yim, Moffitt, Umemoto y Francis, 2000), basado en una muestra de niños y adolescentes. Esta forma abreviada (RCADS-30) consiste en seis subescalas de 5 items que miden los mismos síndromes de ansiedad y depresión que la escala original (i.e., trastorno de pánico, fobia social, trastorno de ansiedad de separación, trastorno de ansiedad generalizada, trastorno obsesivo-compulsivo, y trastorno depresivo mayor). Los resultados apoyan la validez factorial, consistencia interna, datos normativos, y validez convergente y discriminante de la RCADS-30. Las propiedades psicométricas y las elevadas correlaciones entre ambas escalas sugieren que la forma abreviada es similar a la forma completa. Sugerimos que la RCADS-30 es un instrumento multidimensional apropiado tanto para situaciones de investigación como clínicas.
