Reynolds Adolescent Depression Scale, Second Edition (RADS-2)

The Reynolds Adolescent Depression Scale-2 (RADS-2) is an ideal tool to screen for adolescents with significant depressive symptoms within schools or individual practice
settings. The RADS-2 is a brief, 30-item self-report measure that includes subscales which evaluate the current level of an adolescent?s depressive symptomatology along four basic
dimensions of depression: Dysphoric Mood, Anhedonia/Negative Affect, Negative Self-Evaluation, and Somatic Complaints. Interpretation of these four subscales is based on both
the nature of the depression domain and the item content of the subscale.
