- Abstract
The article presents a study on the effects of a cognitive behavioral (CB) prevention program in the prevention of depression onset in adolescents at high risk for depression. The participants were randomly assigned to either a CB prevention program or traditional care. The recruited adolescents had symptoms of depression that were not diagnostic, a history of depression, or both. A baseline assessment was taken, then a reassessment occurred after eight weeks and six months for a total follow-up period of nine months. The study concluded that for adolescents who did not have a parent who was depressed, the CB prevention program was significantly effective.
