“…Since the CDRS-R, unlike the MINI-kid, was not designed to identify other mental disorders such as bipolar and anxiety disorders, we were unable to report on other potentially co-morbid mental health conditions. Studies in both HIV-positive and uninfected adolescents and adults have demonstrated that females show higher rates of depression compared to males [22,23,45,46]. In our study, the difference in prevalence of depression between genders appeared to be considerable, and we found a statistically significant difference in mean CDRS-R scores between genders.…”

IntroductionThere is a remarkable dearth of evidence on mental illness in adolescents living with HIV/AIDS, particularly in the African setting. Furthermore, there are few studies in sub-Saharan Africa validating the psychometric properties of diagnostic and screening tools for depression amongst adolescents. The primary aim of this cross-sectional study was to estimate the prevalence of depression amongst a sample of HIV-positive adolescents in Malawi. The secondary aim was to develop culturally adapted Chichewa versions of the Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II) and Children's Depression Inventory-II-Short (CDI-II-S) and conduct a psychometric evaluation of these measures by evaluating their performance against a structured depression assessment using the Children's Rating Scale, Revised (CDRS-R).Study designCross-sectional study.MethodsWe enrolled 562 adolescents, 12–18 years of age from two large public HIV clinics in central and southern Malawi. Participants completed two self-reports, the BDI-II and CDI-II-S, followed by administration of the CDRS-R by trained clinicians. Sensitivity, specificity and positive and negative predictive values for various BDI-II and CDI-II-S cut-off scores were calculated with receiver operating characteristics analysis. The area under the curve (AUC) was also calculated. Internal consistency was measured by standardized Cronbach's alpha coefficient, and correlation between self-reports and CDRS-R by Spearman's correlation.ResultsPrevalence of depression as measured by the CDRS-R was 18.9%. Suicidal ideation was expressed by 7.1% (40) using the BDI-II. The AUC for the BDI-II was 0.82 (95% CI 0.78–0.89) and for the CDI-II-S was 0.75 (95% CI 0.70–0.80). A score of ≥13 in BDI-II achieved sensitivity of >80%, and a score of ≥17 had a specificity of >80%. The Cronbach's alpha was 0.80 (BDI-II) and 0.66 (CDI-II-S). The correlation between the BDI-II and CDRS-R was 0.42 (p<0.001) and between the CDI-II-S and CDRS-R was 0.37 (p<0.001).ConclusionsThis study demonstrates that the BDI-II has sound psychometric properties in an outpatient setting among HIV-positive adolescents in Malawi. The high prevalence of depression amongst HIV-positive Malawian adolescents noted in this study underscores the need for the development of comprehensive services for HIV-positive adolescents.

“…In our study group, students in 2 nd pre-university college had highest rates of depression (64.5%) followed by students in 10 th class (59.8%). Our finding of increasing rates of depression with students scoring lesser marks was similar to that found in a study in Turkey by Said Bodur et al 7 . Students in residential schools were significantly more depressed compared to non-residential schools.…”

This is a cross sectional study to find the prevalence of adolescent depression, suicidal ideation and associated socio-demographic factors among adolescent students. 3141 students aged between 15 to 19 years from residential and non-residential government and private schools and colleges from Davangere participated in the study. The self administered questionnaire of Beck's depression inventory II was used to evaluate the depression status and suicidal ideation was analyzed using item number 9 of BDI. The prevalence of depression in our study group was 57.7%. The prevalence of suicidal ideation was significantly (P =0.000 ) more among depressed (41.7% ) compared to non-depressed (11.4%). Residential school students were more depressed (74.5%) than non-residential school students (52.1% , P = 0.000 ). Students from joint family were less depressed (40.1%) compared to those from nuclear family (63.3%, P =0.000). Moderate depression was the commonest type followed by mild, severe and extreme types. Age, sex, class, recent academic performance, mother's education level, factors at home like quarrel, financial, alcoholism and chronic illness in parents showed significant relationship with prevalence of depression. Depressed students had problem getting along with parents, siblings, friends and teachers. Parents education level and occupation status had no association with depression rates. To conclude the prevalence of depression in adolescent students of our study group was high and suicidal ideation was significantly high among the depressed students.

“…While there are other studies that found significant relationship between age and depression [20,21]. This finding should be interpreted with caution, as this was because the participants were in one secondary grade and they were close in their ages.…”

Adolescence is an important period for the development of a socially integrated self-negative, which may affect future decisions through depression and anxiety. It is estimated that 20% of adolescents have some type of psychological disorder, and the most common disorder is depression [1]. Methodology:A cross sectional descriptive study conducted among Qatari adolescents in secondary Schools in Qatar. Multistage sampling technique was applied, 823qatari adolescent students were approached of which 797 agreed to participate giving a response rate of 96.8 %. Using a self-administered Arabic version of Beck's Depression Inventory -II (BDI-II) [2], which measures the depression over the last two weeks in adults and adolescents aged 13 years and older. Recommendation: Adopting holistic approach in dealing with adolescent's wellbeing, through incorporating preventive psychological interventions, such as early screening for depressive symptoms, counseling and psychological support should be available to adolescent students with depressive symptoms.
