..Findings supported the hypothesis that, relative to a nonactive comparison condition, reductions in depressive symptoms mediated the effects of Group CB prevention on substance use escalation...

..To describe the development and initial evaluation of the Coping Course, a cognitive-behavioral group intervention designed to enhance general coping and problem-solving skills among incarcerated youth...

..The causal nature of the significant associations and the degree to which modification of these factors increases the probability of future smoking cessation deserve further attention...

..Recurrent paternal MDD was associated with depression recurrence in daughters but not sons. The impact of parental MDD on offspring could not be attributed to characteristics of the offspring's depression prior to age 19...

..Results suggest that psychopathology plays a more prominent role in maintaining adolescent depression than demographic or psychosocial factors...

..Adolescent SUD is associated with numerous functioning difficulties at age 30, some of which appear to be related to recurrent SUD, comorbid adolescent disorders, or functioning problems already evident in adolescence...

..Treatment consisted of 3 stages: (1) acute (12 weeks), (2) continuation (6 weeks), and (3) maintenance (18 weeks)...

..Adolescence is a high-risk period for depression in young women, although its prevalence and phenomenology vary as a function of age and race/ethnicity...

..To evaluate effectiveness of the Adolescent Coping With Depression (CWD-A) course, a cognitive-behavioral group intervention for depressed adolescents with comorbid conduct disorder...

..Limitations of the present study and future research directions are noted...

..To examine the course of alcohol use disorder (AUD) and determine the extent to which AUD in adolescence is a risk factor for AUD and other psychopathology in young adulthood...

..g., greater severity at intake, less recovery and more recurrence, less participation in treatment)...

....

..Depression is frequent in homeless older adolescents and has a complex association with STD-related behaviors...

..Results underscore the potential importance of assessing and treating psychiatric disorders in smoking prevention and cessation efforts...

..LAS-SF total scores were associated with past suicide attempt, even after controlling for the impact of current depression. Clinical and research uses for the LAS-SF are discussed...

..Assessing readiness to change may have implications for tailoring treatments for depressed adolescents...

..Accounting for levels of functioning in adolescence or for current depression at age 24 eliminated the remaining associations. The implications of these findings for efforts to prevent MDD in adolescence are discussed...

..Contrary to expectation, stress scores from the interview assessment did not result in stronger associations with depression. Recommendations for assessment of stressful life events are offered...

..Evaluate a new 5-step method for testing mediators hypothesized to account for the effects of depression prevention programs...

..MDD): (a) is there an elevated rate of MDD in the relatives of probands with SubD? (b) does SubD aggregate in the families of probands with MDD and SubD? (c) is the relationship between SubD and familial psychopathology specific to MDD?..

..Effects were slightly smaller than those observed in a prior efficacy trial, suggesting that this program is effective under real-world conditions, but that facilitator selection, training, and supervision could be improved...

..Results suggest that depression prevention efforts produce a higher yield if they incorporate factors associated with larger intervention effects (e.g., selective programs with a shorter duration that include homework)...

..Results suggest that selected and indicated prevention programs should target these high-risk populations and seek to reduce these risk factors...

..The fact that self-reported, weight-control behaviors identified girls at risk for obesity implies that high-risk youths are not engaging in effective weight-control methods and suggests the need to promote more effective strategies...

..The evidence that this brief CB intervention reduced risk for future depression onset and outperformed alternative interventions for certain ecologically important outcomes suggests that this intervention may have clinical utility...

....

..To evaluate the effects of a brief group cognitive-behavioral (CB) depression prevention program for high-risk adolescents with elevated depressive symptoms at 1- and 2-year follow-up...

....

..These findings suggest that this indicated depression prevention intervention is similarly efficacious for Asian American, Latino and European American adolescents...

..The proposed program will fulfill a critical need because no formalizing training procedure (written, conference-based, or computer-based) for the CWD-A intervention currently exists. ..

..3) Predictors of participation vs. attrition, improvement vs. nonrecovery, and maintenance of gains vs. relapse. Predictors will include pre-treatment patient variables, in-session variables, and interventionist variables. ..
