Scores from both groups were used to measure sensitivity, specificity,<br>area under receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), cut off score, parent-child<br>agreement and correlation with Thai version of the Children’s Depression Inventory<br>scale (CDI), Cronbach’s alpha coefficient was used to measure internal consistency.<br>The Bland-Altman plot and the intraclass correlation coefficient were used to determine<br>the level of test-retest reliability.<br>Results : The MFQ successfully differentiated the group of children with depressive<br>disorder from the control group. In the child version, the AUC was 0.94 with the cut off<br>score of 23 or more yielding a sensitivity of 87% and a specificity of 93.2% The AUC<br>in the parent version was 0.93 , cut off score at 17 or more giving a sensitivity of 87%<br>and a specificity of 85.1%The Pearson’s correlation coefficient between the child and<br>parent version was 0.74, and the coefficients between the child and parent version<br>versus the Thai CDI were 0.87 and 0.76, respectively. In both the child and parent<br>version, the Cronbach’s alpha coefficient was 0.95. The intraclass correlation coefficient<br>(ICC) was 0.71 in the child version and 0.85 in the parent version. The Bland-Altman<br>plot showed that 92.86% and 85.71 % of the child and parent test- retest answers were<br>within limits of agreement.<br>Summary : The Thai version MFQ has a high degree of psychometric validity and<br>reliability. Based on these results, the MFQ shows a lot of promise in both clinical and<br>research settings.</p> ER -
