- Abstract
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.
