The Beck Depression Inventory is latest designed for which age group?

Aged 5 and under
Aged 6 to 12
Aged 13 and over
Aged 50 and above

The correct answer is: Aged 13 and over

The Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) is a widely utilized assessment tool designed to measure the severity of depression in individuals. The inventory is particularly geared toward adolescents and adults, making it most appropriate for those aged 13 and over. This age group is significant because it aligns with the developmental stage where individuals can comprehend and accurately self-report their feelings and experiences related to depressive symptoms. Furthermore, the BDI has been validated in populations that include adolescents, ensuring its effectiveness in capturing the complexities of depression experienced by this age range. Therefore, the correct answer reflects the intended use of the BDI in assessing depressive symptoms for adolescents and adults rather than in younger age groups or those older than 50, where other assessment tools may be more appropriate based on developmental and cognitive factors.
