Key Points Question Can universal adolescent major depressive disorder (MDD) screening conducted in the school setting improve MDD identification and treatment initiation compared with targeted student referral based on observable behaviors of concern? Findings In a randomized clinical trial including 12 909 students attending 14 Pennsylvania public high schools, adolescents randomized to universal screening vs the usual process of targeted student referral had significantly higher odds both of being identified with MDD symptoms (5.9 times higher) and of initiating MDD treatment (2.1 times higher). Meaning In this trial, universal school-based MDD screening successfully increased treatment initiation among identified students.
