Arms

  • Experimental: Brief Interpersonal Psychotherapy-Adolescent Skills Training (B-IPT-AST)
    Brief Interpersonal Psychotherapy-Adolescent Skills Training (B-IPT-AST) is an indicated group depression prevention program adapted from Interpersonal Psychotherapy-Adolescent Skills Training (IPT-AST). In B-IPT-AST, adolescents learn communication (e.g., using I statements, striking while the iron is cold) and interpersonal problem-solving strategies and apply these strategies to their relationships to decrease conflict, increase social support, and improve overall social functioning. B-IPT-AST consists of 1 individual pre-group sessions, 1 individual mid-group session, and 4 group sessions. Parents are invited to attend the mid-group session so the adolescents can apply the interpersonal strategies in a conversation with a parent.
  • Active Comparator: Services as usual (SAU)
    Services as usual (SAU) involves any mental health services adolescents decide to receive in primary care or in the community. It is possible that adolescents in SAU may decide not to participate in any mental health services.
