Abstract
The Reynolds Adolescent Depression Scale (RADS) was first published in 1987 and since then has become one of the most used self‐report measures of depression in adolescents. In 2002, the second edition of the RADS was published (RADS‐2; Reynolds, 2002), which included the development of four empirically derived subscales that reliably evaluate meaningful components of depression in adolescents; extension of the age range to include 11‐ to 20‐year‐olds; a new standardization sample of 3,300 adolescents; standard scores ( T scores) to assist in interpretation and comparisons across subscales; a new empirically derived clinical cutoff score; a quick scoring carbonless test protocol; and an expanded test manual with extensive psychometric information and interpretive procedures.
