Basic information

Name: Beck Depression Inventory

Abbreviation: BDI

Versions: 3

Synonyms: 60

Description: The Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) is a 21-item, multiple-choice inventory. Respondents are asked to rate each item based on four response choices according to the severity of the symptoms, ranging from the absence of a symptom to an intense level, during the past week. A 13-item version of the BDI is also available. Both the original and short forms have reasonable internal consistency for normal and depressed older adults and adequate test–retest reliability in older adult patient and nonpatient populations. A second version of the BDI (BDI-II) was published in 1996 so that items would be consistent with the revised criteria for depressive disorders in the DSM-IV. The number of items on the BDI-II is the same as that for the original version. Edelstein et al. suggest that the BDI-II be used with caution with older adults given the lack of empirical support for its use with this population.
