Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II)
Rationale / Strengths: Easy to use, widely known, results easy to interpret. Item
Justification: content improved over BDI-I to increase its correspondence with DSM-
IV.
Weaknesses: Includes several items assessing physical symptoms which
may be elevated in ALS patients due to motor neuron degeneration and
not depression. However non-ALS clinical studies have provided
evidence of the presence of at least two factors, a cognitive-affective
factor and a somatic depressive symptom factor, which is more stable
than in the BDI. However, this factor structure requires confirmation in
ALS.
Psychometric Properties:
Feasibility: Easy to complete, relatively short compared to interview-
based assessments.
Reliability: 1 week test-retest stability is high (.93). Internal consistency
(coefficient alpha) is .92–.94 depending on the sample.
Validity: Construct validity was high when compared to the BDI (.93).
Sensitivity to Change: Designed to assess mood within the most recent
2 week period, so comparison across assessments should reflect
change over time.
Relationships to other variables: BDI-II scores were not correlated
with functional disability (ALSFRS-R scores) (Rabkin et al., 2005) in late-
stage ALS patients, but did correlate with suffering, anger, perceived
caregiver burden, weariness, and negative effect. In non-ALS studies,
BDI-II scores correlate with measures of hopelessness, suicidal ideation
and anxiety.
Purpose of Tool: Screening for severity of depression.
Used in: Observational studies.
Administration time: 5 minutes, scoring 1 minute.
Sport Concussion Specific:
Advantages: Widely used and accepted instrument. Quantifies
depressive symptoms, but is not a diagnostic instrument. Some
symptoms overlap with "concussive symptoms". Any study looking at
factors contributing to persistent symptoms should use this measure.
Age Range: age 13 and older
Recommended Instrument for: ALS, Epilepsy, Headache, MS, PD, SAH, SRC and TBI Page 2 of 3

Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI)
Items: 21
Reliability:
Internal consistency for the BAI = (Cronbach’s α=0.92)
Test-retest reliability (1 week) for the BAI = 0.75 (Beck, Epstein,
Brown, & Steer, 1988).
Validity:
The BAI was moderately correlated with the revised Hamilton
Anxiety Rating Scale (.51), and mildly correlated with the
Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (.25) (Beck et al., 1988)
Scoring:
Not At All Mildly but it Moderately - Severely – it
didn’t it wasn’t bothered me
bother me pleasant at a lot

questions
References:
Add up the score for each of the 21 questions by counting the number to the right of each
question you marked. The highest possible total for the whole test would be sixty-three and
the lowest possible score for the test would be zero. This would mean you circles zero on each
question. You can evaluate your depression according to the Table below.
___________________________________________________________________________
If the client responses with a 0 (0= no desire) to items 4 and 5 then skip ahead to items 20 and
21. The client does not need to complete items 6 through 17.
If the client responses with a 1 or 2 to items 4 and 5 then you would instruct them to complete
all the items on the scale. When they complete the scale you would add up the score for each
of the first 19 questions by counting the number to the right of each question you marked.
Items 20 and 21 are not part of the total scale score. They are provided to help gather
additional clinical information for the therapist. The manual contains general cutoff
guidelines, although the author recommends that cut-off scores should be based upon clinical
decisions. Generally scores above 24 are considered to be a clinical cutoff implying this
client is at a significant risk for suicide.
________________________________________________________________
Scoring Template
Count one point if any of the items were answered with the following responses:
1. FALSE 6. FALSE 11. TRUE 16. TRUE
2. TRUE 7. TRUE 12. TRUE 17. TRUE
3. FALSE 8. FALSE 13. FALSE 18. TRUE
4. TRUE 9. TRUE 14. TRUE 19. FALSE
5. FALSE 10. FALSE 15. FALSE 20. TRUE
Add up the total points based on the scoring template above to find a total scale score. The
user bases his or her interpretation on the total scale score. The manual contains general cutoff
guidelines, although the author recommends that cut-off scores should be based upon clinical
decisions. Generally scores above 8 or 9 are considered to be a clinical cutoff implying this
client is at a greater risk for suicide.
