Other information about tool (e.g., additional psychometrics [NPV, PPV, Youden’s index, diagnostic odds ratio])	The area under the curve (AUC) for the full 35-item scale was 0.85. Based off of this study, a cut-off score of 20 is recommended. The psychometric properties were assessed for the full 35-item PSC, as well as a shortened 17-item version. More information about the shortened 17-item version of the scale is detailed in the original publication.

Notes when administering the tool	The PSC should be verbally delivered to caregivers by trained research assistants. The youth version of the PSC (PSC-Y) can be completed by children if deemed appropriate, and should also be verbally administered by trained research assistants who can aid in the completion of the scale.

Mental health assessment tool that was adapted/developed/validated	Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale for Children (CES-DC)

Idiom of distress included, if any	Not Applicable
Lifestage of interest	Childhood or Adolescence
Age range (age – age)	—

Subpopulation in which tool was developed/validated (e.g., tool was developed and tested among middle-class women)?	—
Development procedures	culturally-adapted,validated
If validated, what was the gold standard?	To examine criterion validity, CES-DC scores were compared with depression diagnoses on a structured diagnostic interview, the Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview for Children (MINI KID). Caregiver and child or adolescent self-reports endorsing the presence of local depression-like problems agahinda kenshi (persistent sorrow) and kwiheba (severe hopelessness) were also examined for agreement with MINI KID diagnosis.
Description of other development procedures, if applicable	—
Cronbach’s alpha	0.86
Sensitivity	0.819
Spec	0.719
Other information about tool (e.g., additional psychometrics [NPV, PPV, Youden’s index, diagnostic odds ratio])	The area under the ROC curve for the CES-DC using MINI KID MDE diagnosis as the gold standard was 0.825.

Notes when administering the tool	Given the age of participants, caregivers reported on children who were too young to complete the assessment independently. The tool should either be administered to the adolescents or to their primary caregiver, as is deemed fit by researchers.  The tool should be administered by trained research assistants who are fluent in Kinyarwanda. All items on the scale are summed with equal weight. The optimal cut-off score for this population was determined to be 30 points.
