Preventing depression: a randomized trial of interpersonal psychotherapy-adolescent skills training
Depression and Anxiety, 02/01/2010
Young JF et al. – IPT–AST leads to an immediate reduction in depression symptoms and improvement in overall functioning. However, the benefits of IPT–AST are not consistent beyond the 6–month follow–up, suggesting that the preventive effects of the program in its current format are limited. Future studies are needed to examine whether booster sessions lengthen the long–term effects of IPT–AST.
