青少年过渡方案（ATP）是一个以家庭为重点的多层次预防方案，旨在公立中学内实施，针对与青春期早期行为问题发展有关的养育因素。目前的研究检查了ATP对青少年抑郁症状发展的影响，在106名高危青少年的样本中。青少年在六年级被招募，并根据老师和家长对行为或情绪问题的报告被选为高风险。抑郁症状是基于7年级、8年级和9年级的青少年和母亲报告。接受以家庭为中心的干预抑制了3年评估中高危青少年抑郁症状的增长，与对照组中高危青少年的症状相比。结果支持的概念，父母参与旨在改善父母管理的做法和父母与青少年的关系，可以导致在社会和情感发展的关键过渡期的青少年的抑郁症状的附带利益。
The Adolescent Transitions Program (ATP) is a family-focused multilevel prevention program designed for delivery within public middle schools to target parenting factors related to the development of behavior problems in early adolescence. The current study examines the effects of the ATP on the development of youth depressive symptoms across early adolescence in a sample of 106 high-risk youths. Youths were recruited in 6th grade, and selected as high risk based on teacher and parent reports of behavioral or emotional problems. Depression symptoms were based on youth and mother reports in 7th, 8th, and 9th grades. Receipt of the family-centered intervention inhibited growth in depressive symptoms in high-risk youths over the 3 yearly assessments compared with symptoms in high-risk youths in the control group. Results support the notion that parental engagement in a program designed to improve parent management practices and parent-adolescent relationships can result in collateral benefits to the youths' depressive symptoms at a critical transition period of social and emotional development.
