Experimental Treatment

Active Control

Group I: Parent Intervention GroupExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

The parent intervention group will undergo 8 weekly, manualized group sessions, with between 6 and 10 parent participants. Sessions are structured and follow an agenda including check-in and review of home practice, discussion of a skill or strategy, and review and assignment of home practice. Group sessions are held weekly for 1.5 hours and include both didactic, discussion, and practice elements, as well as assigned home practice.

Group II: Usual Care GroupActive Control1 Intervention

Parents in the usual care condition will be involved in their adolescent's care as is standard in our clinical program. With adolescent consent, parents are invited to participate in a single, 2-hour orientation session for parents/caregivers that provides information about depression, as well as the role of sleep, diet, and exercise in improving mood. Based on adolescent preference, parents can also attend regular psychiatric appointments with their adolescent, in which they will receive further information about depression and may receive and provide information about their adolescent's depression symptoms and response to psychosocial and pharmacological interventions. This control condition will allow us to determine whether the parent intervention is more effective than a relevant clinical alternative.
