Abstract
This study examined the psychometric properties of the Mood and Feelin gs Questionnaire (MFQ) in 104 adolescent outpatients attending a psych iatric clinic. The clinic offers a special assessment and treatment se rvice for young people with depressive disorders. In this sample the s elf-report version of the MFQ had acceptable reliability and was a sat isfactory screen for major depressive disorder diagnosed by a standard ised interview with the child. It was also a useful measure of clinica l remission.
