Chicago Urban Resiliency Building (CURB)
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Major Depression
In brief
The purpose of the study is to determine whether a culturally tailored, low-cost, primary care/internet based depression prevention intervention (CURB) is superior to wait-list control for African American and Hispanic youth in terms of depression-related outcomes. It is hypothesized that compared to teens in the wait-list control condition, teens in the CURB program will exhibit lower levels of depressed mood and/or more rapid changes in mood during the follow-up time.
