Abstract EN
Introduction.
Depression in adolescents and young people is associated with reduced social, occupational, and interpersonal functioning, increases in suicide and self-harm behaviours, and problematic substance use.
Age-appropriate, evidence-based treatments are required to provide optimal care.
Methods.
“Evidence mapping” methodology was used to quantify the nature and distribution of the extant high-quality research into the prevention and treatment of depression in young people across psychological, medical, and other treatment domains.
Results.
Prevention research is dominated by cognitive-behavioral- (CBT-) based interventions.
Treatment studies predominantly consist of CBT and SSRI medication trials, with few trials of other psychological interventions or complementary/alternative treatments.
Quality studies on relapse prevention and treatment for persistent depression are distinctly lacking.
Conclusions.
This map demonstrates opportunities for future research to address the numerous evidence gaps for interventions to prevent or treat depression in young people, which are of interest to clinical researchers, policy makers, and funding bodies.
