Article Synopsis
- The study aims to help primary care providers identify and prevent major depression in adolescents by analyzing how they describe their symptoms.
- Researchers conducted interviews with 37 adolescents aged 13-18 who showed signs of elevated depression, focusing on three main areas: stress sources, expressions of sadness, and help-seeking behaviors.
- Findings highlight that adolescents from different ethnic backgrounds express similar themes related to subthreshold depression, providing insights that can aid healthcare providers in early identification and support of at-risk youth.
Background: Adolescent depression carries a high burden of disease worldwide, but access to care for this population is limited. Prevention is one solution to curtail the negative consequences of adolescent depression. Internet interventions to prevent adolescent depression can overcome barriers to access, but few studies examine long-term outcomes.

Objective: To study whether CATCH-IT (Competent Adulthood Transition with Cognitive Behavioral Humanistic and Interpersonal Training) reduces the hazard for depression in at-risk adolescents identified in primary care, as compared to a general health education attention control (HE).
Design: The Promoting AdolescenT Health (PATH) study compares CATCH-IT and HE in a phase 3 single-blind multicenter randomized attention control trial.
