Abstract: Adults with intellectual disability (ID) experience disproportionately high levels of emotional and behavioral symptoms yet standardized mental health assessment tools remain scare in Catalan and Spanish. The Anxiety, Depression and Mood Scale (ADAMS) is a widely used proxy-rated questionnaire, but its psychometric properties in these languages have not been comprehensive examined.
Abstract : Antecedentes: Las personas adultas con discapacidad intelectual (DI) presentan niveles desproporcionadamente elevados de síntomas emocionales y conductuales; sin embargo, las herramientas estandarizadas de evaluación en salud mental siguen siendo escasas en catalán y en español. La Anxiety, Depression and Mood Scale (ADAMS) es un cuestionario ampliamente utilizado basado en informantes proxy, pero sus propiedades psicométricas en estos idiomas no han sido examinadas de forma exhaustiva.
