- Structure and invariance of the Hospital Anxiety Depression Scale (HADS) in adolescents André Faro Ludgleydson Fernandes de Araújo Silvana Carneiro Maciel Tiago Jessé Souza de Lima Luana Elayne Cunha de Souza Psicología anxiety depression adolescents measurement invariance confirmatory factor analysis The main objective of this study was to test the factorial structure and gender invariance of the Hospital Anxiety Depression Scale (HADS) in a non-clinical sample of 657 adolescents (Mage = 16.3 years; SD = 1.19). The research design was an instrumental investigation, based on a cross-sectional survey with a sample of adolescents in Brazil. The results presented satisfactory evidence of the validity of the factorial structure and gender invariance for the sample. The composite reliability was also satisfactory, and no problems were detected related to common method bias. The mean of the items explained variance was .31 (31 %), with a Cronbach’s Alpha at .84 for the total scale, .81 and .69 for the anxiety and depression subscales, respectively. In the discussion, we analyzed questions related to the average variance extracted of the scale, which was lower than expected. Thus, we conclude that the current findings provide validity evidence to the application of the HADS with Brazilian adolescents for clinical or research purposes. 2021 artículo científico 1688-4094 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=459569568002 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/4595/459569568002/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/4595/459569568002/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/4595/459569568002/459569568002.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/4595/459569568002/movil 10.22235/cp.v15i2.2069 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=4595 Ciencias Psicológicas application/pdf Universidad Católica del Uruguay Dámaso Antonio Larrañaga Ciencias Psicológicas (Uruguay) Num.2 Vol.15
