Brief Summary:
This study will determine the effectiveness of adding a parent-involved intervention to cognitive behavior therapy in reducing depressive symptoms among Latino adolescents with depression
Detailed Description:
Adolescent depression can have a devastating impact on social emotional and family functioning Cognitive behavior therapy CBT is the most common treatment for depression however not all patients respond adequately to CBT In addition data on the effects of CBT among ethnic minorities are limited Because Latinos are the largest minority group in the United States the development of treatments specifically designed for depressed Latino youth are needed This study will determine whether adding a psychoeducation intervention with parent involvement will be more effective in reducing depressive symptoms among Latino adolescents than treatment with CBT alone
The treatment phase of this study will last 12 weeks Participants will be randomly assigned to receive 12 weeks of either CBT alone or CBT with psychoeducation The psychoeducation will consist of 8 sessions over the 12-week treatment period During the sessions participants and their parents will be given detailed information about depression and ways the condition can be treated They will also be taught coping skills and ways to recognize a relapse CBT sessions will take place weekly during the study During the sessions a therapist will work with participants to modify the behavior and thinking patterns that cause and are associated with their depressive symptoms Both participants and their parents will undergo interviews at study start study completion and 3 9 and 15 months after study completion During the interviews participants depressive symptoms school attendance and overall functional status will be assessed Parents stress levels and work attendance will also be assessed At Months 6 and 12 after study completion participants and their parents will complete questionnaires to assess any relapses in depressive symptoms
Study hypothesis Active treatment with psychoeducation will be superior to no psychoeducation in reducing depression post-treatment Because the psychoeducation intervention is designed to involve parents and thus impact other aspects of the family system the treatment is expected to produce better outcomes in several functional domains
