Summary
This trial will compare the effectiveness of two different depression prevention programs to see which is better at preventing depressive illness in adolescents. The trial will also assess the participants', parents', and providers' experiences with each intervention approach.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for teens aged 13-19 with a history of depression but not currently depressed, showing elevated depressive symptoms without severe drug/alcohol abuse or high-risk psychiatric conditions. They shouldn't be on recent medication for mood disorders or engaged in cognitive therapy.
What is being tested?
The PATH 2 Purpose study compares two programs: CATCH-IT and TEAMS, aimed at preventing depression among adolescents. Participants are randomly assigned to one of the interventions across various locations, assessing their effectiveness and experiences during COVID-19.
What are the potential side effects?
Since CATCH-IT and TEAMS are psychological interventions rather than medications, they may cause emotional discomfort or stress due to discussing personal issues but typically do not have physical side effects like drugs.
