- Adaptation of the BDI–II in Mexico David Andrés González Areli Reséndiz Rodríguez Isabel Reyes - Lagunes Medicina II Mexico psycho Spanish metrics Background The number of Spanish-speaking individuals and immigrants in the United States has risen dramatically and is projected to continue to rise. The availability of appropriately translated and validated mea - surement instruments, such as the Beck Depression Inventory, is a pri - ority for researchers and clinicians in the U.S. and Mexico, where the first edition of the BDI is still prominently used. Objective The purpose of this study was to pilot a Mexican adaptation of the BDI-II and report its initial psychometric characteristics. Method Two samples were used: students from across Mexico and commu - nity adults from Mexico City. Descriptives and internal consistency, in addition to convergent, discriminant, and structural validity were considered. Results Results indicated that the translation was easily understood by most individuals. It had an adequate internal consistency, a three-factor structure (negative attitude, performance difficulties, and somatic el - ements) and the best fit. Discussion and conclusion Implications and future directions for use with Spanish speakers of Mexican origin are discussed. 2015 artículo científico 0185-3325 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=58241191002 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=582 Salud Mental application/pdf Instituto Nacional de Psiquiatría Ramón de la Fuente Muñiz Salud Mental (México) Num.4 Vol.38
