2021 SEP 21 (NewsRx)- By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Disease Prevention Daily- Investigators discuss new findings in Pediatrics - Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. According to news reporting originating in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, by NewsRx journalists, research stated, "To evaluate whether evidence-based depression prevention programs can be optimized by matching youths to interventions that address their psychosocial vulnerabilities. This randomized controlled trial included 204 adolescents (mean [SD] age = 14.26 [1.65] years; 56.4% female)." Financial support for this research came from NIH National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH). The news reporters obtained a quote from the research from Children's Hospital Philadelphia, "Youths were categorized as high or low on cognitive and interpersonal risks for depression and randomly assigned to Coping With Stress (CWS), a cognitive-behavioral program, or Interpersonal Psychotherapy-Adolescent Skills Training (IPT-AST), an interpersonal program. Some participants received a match between risk and prevention (eg, high cognitive-low interpersonal risk teen in CWS, low cognitive-high interpersonal risk teen in IPT-AST), others received a mismatch (eg, low cognitive-high interpersonal risk teen in CWS). Outcomes were depression diagnoses and symptoms through 18 months postintervention (21 months total).
