Resumen

Following publication of the original article [1], the authors reported that an unauthorized version of the Spanish RADS-2 was used by the study team without permission for the article, however this has now been rectified with PAR. The RADS-2 is a copyrighted instrument; therefore, its specific content may not be reproduced, in whole or in part, in any language, format, or medium without prior written authorization from PAR (www.parinc.com). To fully comply with these policies, the authors have replaced the original textual description with a general characterization of the instrument, which now reads as follows: “The instrument consists of 30 statements assessing depressive symptoms in adolescents, rated on a 4-point Likert scale (from ‘almost never’ to ‘almost always’). The original article has been corrected. © The Author(s) 2026.
