ABSTRACT: This study translated and re-validated the Beck Depression Inventory second edition (BDI-II) for the Hausa population of Nigeria. A cross-sectional survey design was adopted. The study employed purposive sampling technique where four hundred and six (406) participants from six core Hausa States in Northwest Nigeria consisting of 322(81%) males and 72(19%) females. Were used for the study. Their ages ranged from 18 to 42 years with a mean age of 28.01 (Std.=5.79). A total of 140(34.5%) were married, 212(52.2%) were single, 44(10.8%) divorced, 6(1.5%) were widowed while 4(1%) did not indicate their marital status. Statistical Analysis involved the use of Pearson’s correlation, Descriptive Statistics and Univariate Analysis. The result showed that the BDI-II Hausa Version yielded Cronbach’s alpha coefficient of .86, the affective symptoms subscale of the Hausa BDI-II yielded a Cronbach’s alpha coefficient of .78, the somatic symptoms subscale yielded a Cronbach’s alpha coefficient of .75 and a corrected item-total correlation of.30. this indicated that the BDI-II Hausa version had a reasonably high internal consistency. It also indicated that the BDI-II Hausa Version significantly showed a high construct validity which demonstrated that the translation is appropriate for use in both medical and general population. It was concluded that the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-II Hausa Version) is highly reliable, valid and fit for use among clinical and non-clinical samples in Nigeria. It was therefore recommended that further re-validation should include comparing the BDI-II (Hausa version) with other instruments to establish its convergent and discriminate validity as well as check the item total correlations as has been the standard practice. This will enhance the reliability and validity of the translated version. The fact that age and sex as demographic variables made significant contribution to depression in this study calls for need to identify risk factors for depression for which future clinical or treatment decisions can be made. The fact that participants in the study area were found to have severe depression reveals the need for regular assessment and screening for mental health challenges among this group of people.
