ABSTRACT
This study evaluated the fidelity, feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary outcomes of a depression prevention program, interpersonal psychotherapy-adolescent skills training (IPT-AST), in urban pediatric primary care (PC) with a sample of primarily Black youth. Twenty-two adolescents with elevated depressive symptoms participated in this open clinical trial. Adolescents were identified through a screening questionnaire completed at well visits. Ratings of IPT-AST fidelity and session attendance were recorded. Youth and caregivers reported on their attitudes toward the intervention and completed measures of adolescents' symptoms and functioning pre- and post-intervention. Results demonstrated high levels of fidelity, attendance, and acceptability, despite some difficulties with recruitment. Adolescents and caregivers reported significant improvements in functioning. There were marginally significant reductions in self-reported depression, anxiety, and total mental health symptoms. Caregivers reported a significant decrease in total mental health symptoms. Findings provide preliminary information regarding the implementation and effects of IPT-AST when delivered in PC.
