Children who exhibit elevated levels of conduct problems are at increased risk for developing co-occurring depression symptoms, especially during adolescence. This study tests the effectiveness of a manualized after school intervention (the Penn Resiliency Program [PRP]) for the prevention of depression symptoms among a subset of middle-school-aged students who exhibited elevated levels of conduct problems, but not depression symptoms, at the start of the study. Longitudinal analyses demonstrate that the program successfully prevented elevations in depression symptoms across early- to mid-adolescence compared to no-intervention controls.
表现出行为问题水平较高的儿童出现并发抑郁症状的风险增加，尤其是在青春期。本研究测试了一种手册化的课后干预措施（宾夕法尼亚复原力项目[PRP]）对预防一部分初中学生抑郁症状的有效性，这些学生在研究开始时表现出较高水平的行为问题，但没有抑郁症状。纵向分析表明，与无干预对照组相比，该项目成功预防了从青春期早期到中期抑郁症状的增加。
