Hi Dr. Wahiba. I hope you are doing OK. We translated and used the CES-D measure and used in several published studies (attached). We was planning to publish its psychometric properties. I think Dr Mona Amer published may have another translation and published recently a study on its psychometric proprieties.

Wahiba Abu-Ras

Dear Dr. Ibrahim,

So nice to hear back from you.

I truly appreciate your help.

I got all the articles but could not find the actual scale in the Arabic Language. I emailed Dr. Mona but she did not answer me yet. Still looking for the religious coping scale with Arabs.

Thanks again for all your help and support. Salamat,

Wahiba

Hi:

I once did a study with a colleague from the Lebanon (Dr. Kazarian; http://arabpsynet.com/Journals/ajp/ajp20.1-P42.pdf) were we have used the Arabic CES-D. I assume that if you contact him (he is also on RG; https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Shahe_Kazarian), he can help you out.

Best

René
