Brief Summary:
Depression is a major public health concern In Dutch adolescents the prevalence of major depressive disorder is estimated at 38 and one in five adolescents report depressive symptoms Depression is a risk factor in adolescent suicide School-based prevention programs for example the STORM approach are effective in decreasing depressive symptoms among adolescents with elevated depressive symptoms at screening However not all adolescents attend general education In the Netherlands 7 of all adolescents enters special education voortgezet speciaal onderwijs and prakijkonderwijs They form a vulnerable subgroup concerning developing depressive symptoms and suicidality To adapt and implement programs for these students is complex yet crucial This study aims to screen adolescents offer them a prevention program to prevent the onset or continuation of depression and evaluate the effectiveness of this program It is a randomised controlled trial with two conditions The main study parameter is depressive symptomatology Secondary study parameters are suicidality anxiety and somatic complaints
Eligible students enter the second or third grade of special education presenting elevated depressive symptoms All adolescents will be screened for depressive and suicidal symptoms Those reporting suicidality will be guided to specialised care together with their parents Adolescents with elevated depressive symptoms in the experimental condition will be offered the CBT-based preventive group training Op Volle Kracht in their school setting The control condition consists of monitoring and is offered the training if the intervention has shown to be effective Participants will fill in longitudinal measurements At all times adolescents will be guided to mental health care if necessary Furthermore teachers in all participating schools will attend a training on how to detect and address depressive and suicidal symptoms among adolescents
The potential value of the study is that we can offer adolescents in the special educational sector a prevention program that is proven to be effective In order to achieve this goal we need to evaluate the effectiveness of this prevention program in this target group We are of opinion however that the risks associated with participation can be considered negligible It is specifically aimed at depressive symptoms within a population which receives care for other problems
