Prevention of Depression Within Salient Adolescent Contexts
This study aims to evaluate the short-term and long-term efficacy of two preventative
intervention approaches designed to support middle school youth.
This study involve two parts: Part 1 will entail screening 7th and 8th graders from 4 public
middle schools to identify students who may be showing moderate signs of stress. Students
who score at the designated cutoff on a depression symptoms measure will receive a brief
check-in to determine eligibility for the follow up randomized trial (Part 2). An
"indicated" sample of 160 adolescents in the 7th and 8th grade and their caregivers will be
randomly assigned to a brief, Individual Support Program (ISP) comparison group (n = 80) or
a Skills Group Program (n = 80). Research interviews will be conducted at multiple
timepoints with students and caregivers, and teacher questionnaires will be used to examine
changes in outcome measures. Following completion of the intervention, all participants will
be followed for 12-months.
