Teen Depression Study

Official Title Developing Rumination-Focused Treatment to Reduce Risk for Depression Recurrence (RDR) in Adolescence (RuMeChange)

Purpose

We are conducting a study looking at how therapy strategies can help teenagers stay healthy, reduce rumination, or overthinking and worrying, and prevent depression relapse. If eligible, the teenager would complete assessments which include clinical interviews over Zoom, surveys, cognitive testing, and an MRI.

A parent/guardian is required to enroll in the study and will complete questionnaires and a clinical interview as well.

Could this study be right for you?
