ABSTRACT The object of the present research is to validate a French version of the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS). The version entitled “Échelle de dépression gériatrique” (EDG) was administered to a sample of 643 elderly Francophones from the provinces of New Brunswick and Quebec. The psychometric characteristics indicate that the EDG is a valid and reliable scale. The utility of the EDG as a screening measure for geriatric depression is discussed.
