Taiwanese depression questionnaire revisit: Factor structure and measurement invariance across genders.

CONCLUSION: The 15-item TDQ with a 3-factor structure reflects the manifestations of depression of Taiwanese general population well. Although the results of measurement invariance suggest no gender difference in factor structure, the partial strict invariance suggests that there is gender difference in the amount of variance captured by TDQ. Hence, examining gender differences in the predictive value of different factors regarding health behaviors or medical conditions may bring fruitful results.
