本文描述了一个旨在预防10-13岁高危儿童抑郁症状的项目的发展和初步疗效，并将研究结果与目前对儿童抑郁症的理解联系起来。治疗针对抑郁症状和相关困难，如行为问题，学业成绩低，社交能力低，同伴关系差，通过主动教授认知技术。根据抑郁症状和父母冲突的报告，儿童被确定为“有风险”。69名儿童参加了治疗组，并与对照组的73名儿童进行了比较。在后测时，治疗组与对照组相比，抑郁症状显著减轻，课堂行为显著改善。六个月的随访显示，与对照组相比，抑郁症状持续减少，外化行为问题明显减少。症状的减轻在风险最大的儿童中最为明显。
This paper describes the development and preliminary efficacy of a program designed to prevent depressive symptoms in at-risk 10-13 year-olds, and relates the findings to the current understanding of childhood depression. The treatment targets depressive symptoms and related difficulties such as conduct problems, low academic achievement, low social competence, and poor peer relations, by proactively teaching cognitive techniques. Children were identified as 'at-risk' based on depressive symptoms and their reports of parental conflict. Sixty-nine children participated in treatment groups and were compared to 73 children in control groups. Depressive symptoms were significantly reduced and classroom behavior was significantly improved in the treatment group as compared to controls at post-test. Six-month follow-up showed continued reduction in depressive symptoms, as well as significantly fewer externalizing conduct problems, as compared to controls. The reduction in symptoms was most pronounced in the children who were most at risk.
