AB - Reliability studies of the Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HRSD) in therapy-outcome research require at least 2 clinicians. The present authors hypothesized that a less costly alternative, such as using trained undergraduates as 2nd raters, would produce results comparable to the use of 2 clinicians. Four expert raters provided criterion ratings for the HRSD on 20 depressed women. Three trained undergraduates rated the same Ss. The expert and student raters both made reliable ratings on the HRSD. Estimates of criterion validity for the student raters were also in the satisfactory range. (9 ref)
