The R4Power Program teaches cognitive and problem-solving skills covered in classroom based interventions, including the Penn Resiliency Program, that have been found to reduce or prevent symptoms of depression in children and adolescents. This study examines whether adolescents can benefit from learning these skills through a computer (rather than classroom) intervention.\n\nAdolescents in grades 6 through 8 who participate in this study will be assigned to one of two conditions: an intervention group that will complete the R4Power program during the first year (R4Power1), or a waitlist control group that will complete the R4Power program the following year (R4Power2). Students will complete the 10-lesson program over the course of twelve weeks. They will learn and practice cognitive skills (recognizing the link between their thoughts and feelings, identifying thinking traps, challenging their negative beliefs) and problem-solving skills (assertiveness, relaxation and distraction, overcoming procrastination, and decision making). Adolescents who participate in this study will be followed for one year, and their coping responses and symptoms of depression and anxiety will be assessed at four points: at the beginning of the study (baseline) and at follow-up assessments approximately 4, 12 and 16 months after baseline.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['CHILD'], 'maximumAge': '15 Years', 'minimumAge': '11 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': True, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* 6th-8th grade students attending participating school OR adolescents aged 11-15 living in greater Philadelphia area\n* Access to high speed internet connection (at home, school, or another location)\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Below 6th grade reading level, as reported by parents'}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT00641368', 'acronym': 'R4Power', 'briefTitle': 'R4Power: An Online Resilience Program for Adolescents', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'Swarthmore College'}, 'officialTitle': 'R4Power: An Online Resilience Program for Adolescents', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': '07-08-003'}}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'armGroups': [{'type': 'EXPERIMENTAL', 'label': '1', 'description': 'R4Power Program', 'interventionNames': ['Behavioral: R4Power Program']}, {'type': 'OTHER', 'label': '2', 'description': 'Waitlist Control', 'interventionNames': ['Other: Waitlist Control']}], 'interventions': [{'name': 'R4Power Program', 'type': 'BEHAVIORAL', 'otherNames': ['R4Power1'], 'description': 'In the 10-lesson online R4Power Program, adolescents will learn cognitive skills (link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors; thinking traps; challenging negative beliefs) and problem-solving skills (assertiveness; relaxation and distraction; overcoming procrastination; decision-making) in order to cope with stressful situations.', 'armGroupLabels': ['1']}, {'name': 'Waitlist Control', 'type': 'OTHER', 'otherNames': ['R4Power2'], 'description': 'Adolescents in the waitlist control group will complete the R4Power program during the second year of the study.', 'armGroupLabels': ['2']}]}, 'contactsLocationsModule': {'locations': [{'zip': '19081', 'city': 'Swarthmore', 'state': 'Pennsylvania', 'status': 'RECRUITING', 'country': 'United States', 'contacts': [{'name': 'Jane E.
