Depression is the number one cause of disability for adolescents. Moreover, depression is the strongest predictor for suicide, which is the second cause for death among adolescents worldwide. A total of 22 RCTs conducted in 14 different LMICs have been reviewed. This is a significant effort to provide mental health services for adolescents in LMICs. However, considering that 2/3 of the world's countries meet criteria for LMIC status and 75% of suicides occur in LMICs, more research addressing both understanding and intervention/prevention of depression and suicide must be conducted in these countries.
抑郁症是青少年残疾的首要原因。此外，抑郁症是自杀的最强预测因素，而自杀是全世界青少年的第二大死因。共审查了在 14 个不同的中低收入国家进行的 22 项随机对照试验。这是为中低收入国家的青少年提供心理健康服务的一项重大努力。然而，考虑到世界上三分之二的国家符合中低收入国家的标准，而且 75%的自杀发生在中低收入国家，因此必须在这些国家进行更多的研究，以了解和干预/预防抑郁症和自杀。
