Annotation353 older Mexican Hispanics (age 45+, mean age 62) took the Spanish version of the DSM Scale for Depression-26 (DSD-26). Evidence of excellent reliability (coefficient alpha = .93) was obtained, along with concurrent and construct validity. Concurrent validity with an independent proxy measure of depression yielded a Pearson correlation of .73. Cross-cultural equivalence was examined through a series of validity checks. A Major Depressive Episode (MDE) prevalence rate of 3.11% was found for this random sample of community-based Hispanic elders. (RH).
