Active Control
Group I: Peer social-inclusion enhanced social contact brief videoExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Novel brief video (1-2 mins) in which an adolescent talks about feeling depressed, and the impact this has on peer relationships, getting treatment, selectively disclosing mood problems with some friends, and experiencing support from both peers and family which helped facilitate recovery from depression.
Group II: ControlExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Brief video (1-2 mins) provides information about symptoms of depression and how to seek help with computer-generated voice, to isolate mechanisms of information from identification and emotional engagement.
Group III: Generic social contact brief videoActive Control1 Intervention
Similar to existing brief videos (1-2 mins), an adolescent talks about feeling depressed, and then asking parents for help, and receiving professional treatment. This video does not make any references to peers or social support.
