Area of Science:

Adolescent mental health
Public health interventions
Cognitive-behavioral therapy

Background:

Depression is a significant concern among adolescents.
School-based programs offer a promising avenue for early intervention.
The feasibility and cost-effectiveness of such programs require rigorous evaluation.

Purpose of the Study:

To assess the feasibility and cost-utility of a school-based cognitive-behavioral (CB) depression prevention program.
To evaluate the effectiveness of the Depression in Swedish Adolescents (DISA) program.

Main Methods:

A quasi-experimental trial was conducted in six Swedish municipalities.
Participants included 948 eighth-grade students (median age 14) in intervention and control groups.
The DISA program was delivered over 10 weeks by school staff, with 3- and 12-month follow-ups.

Main Results:

The intervention group showed a significant decrease in self-reported depressive symptoms (CES-D) at 12 months.
Self-rated health improved significantly more in the intervention group compared to the control group.
Adherence and cost-utility were secondary outcome measures.

Conclusions:

The DISA program is indicated as a feasible school-based depression prevention strategy.
Challenges in the school setting and baseline differences complicate definitive effectiveness conclusions.
Further research may be needed to fully ascertain the intervention's impact.
