The CDRS-R is a semi-structured, clinician-rated instrument designed for use with children and adolescents between the ages of 6-17 years. It contains 17 ordinally-scaled items that evaluate the presence and severity of symptoms commonly associated with childhood depression and is scored on a 1-to-5- or 1-to-7-point scale. Rating of 1 indicates normal function. The CDRS-R total score ranges from 17 to 113; higher score indicates more severe depression. A negative change from Baseline indicates improvement. Mixed Model for Repeated Measures (MMRM) was used for analysis.
