“…5 In addition, the intervention group reported significantly lower levels of anxiety symptoms on 1 of 2 anxiety measures at post-intervention, 12, and 18-month follow-up, although not at 6, 24, or 30, or 36-month follow-up. Using the Penn Prevention Program in a rural Australian sample of 7 th grade students (N =189), Roberts, Kane, Thomson, Bishop, and Hart (2003) reported no significant group effects for depression symptom levels, but found significantly lower anxiety symptoms in the intervention group at both post-intervention (d = .26) and 6 month follow-up (d = .24) (see also Roberts et al, 2004 for 18 and 30-month follow-up assessments of this sample).…”

“…These generalized effects are an added benefit to any intervention and support the notion that multiple outcome measures should be used in prevention trials. What is somewhat perplexing is that in the study by Roberts et al (2003), the ancillary effects appeared to be at least as strong as the intended effects, and it will be useful for further work in this area to explore why this occurs. In light of the substantial relationship between anxiety and depression, focusing on nonspecific risk factors that may be common to both anxiety and depression has the potential to yield significant results (Dozois, Dobson, & Westra, 2004;Durlak, 1998).…”

Prevention of depression in youth: A qualitative review and future suggestions

Since 1990, significant efforts have been made towards developing interventions to prevent depression in youth. Meta-analyses of preventive interventions have consistently yielded small but significant effect sizes in the short-term prevention of depression. However, the maintenance of intervention effects over extended follow-ups ranging from 6 months to 3 years has not been consistently demonstrated. In this qualitative review, significant methodological issues that continue to be of concern are discussed. Illustrative studies are described to highlight the accomplishments and limitations of interventions to date. Particular areas in need of attention include the implementation of booster sessions, use of appropriate statistical analyses, examination of multiple outcome variables, augmentation of protective factors, and exploration of mediators and moderators of intervention effects. Future directions for the field of depression prevention are outlined.

Trece trabajos requirieron además criterios adicionales: presentar sintomatología depresiva elevada y/o un episodio depresivo mayor en remisión durante al menos dos meses en un estudio (Garber et al, 2009); estar en estado de gestación en cinco estudios (Lara et al, 2010;Le et al, 2011;Muñoz et al, 2007;Stamp, Williams y Crowther, 1995;Zlotnick, Johnson, Miller, Pearlstein ...…”

La eficacia de la prevención indicada de la depresión: una revisión

et al. 2014

Resumen: En este trabajo se revisó la investigación acerca de la eficacia de las intervenciones psicológicas y psicoeducativas de prevención de la depresión en sujetos con síntomas depresivos, pero que no reunían los criterios para un episodio depresivo mayor actual (prevención indicada). Se seleccionaron 42 ensayos que evaluaron 36 programas de prevención encontrados en las bases de datos Medline, PsycINFO, ERIC, EMBASE, y en el registro de ensayos del Grupo Cochrane de Depresión, Ansiedad y Neurosis, en español e inglés, entre los años 1990 y 2013. La mayoría de los programas de prevención indicada analizados obtuvieron resultados positivos en la reducción de la sintomatología depresiva. Sin embargo, en general obtuvieron tamaños del efecto pequeños, y muchos de ellos no tuvieron efectos sobre la incidencia de depresión. Además, muchos de estos trabajos presentaban limitaciones metodológicas. Los datos señalados apoyan la necesidad de desarrollar intervenciones preventivas que sigan un modelo de prevención indicada, y que comprueben su eficacia a través de ensayos controlados aleatorios con las garantías metodológicas adecuadas. Palabras clave: Prevención indicada; prevención secundaria; síntomas depresivos; depresión; terapia cognitivo conductual. Title:The efficacy of indicated prevention of depression: A review. Abstract: This paper reviewed the research on the effectiveness of psychological and psychoeducational interventions to prevent depression in subjects with symptoms of depression, but that did not meet criteria for a current major depressive episode (indicated prevention). Forty-two randomized controlled trials, evaluating thirty-six preventive programs identified through the Medline, PsycINFO, ERIC and EMBASE databases and the Cochrane Collaboration of Depression, Anxiety and Neurosis Group Controlled Trials Register, in Spanish and English, between 1990 and 2013, were selected. Most indicated prevention programs showed positive effects on depressive symptoms. However, they have been found to produce small effect sizes, and many of them had no effect on the incidence of depressive disorders. In addition, many of these studies had methodological weaknesses. Current findings support the need to develop preventive interventions following one model of indicated prevention, and assessing their efficacy through randomized controlled trials with adequate methodological quality. Key words: Indicated prevention; secondary prevention; depressive symptoms; depression; cognitive behavior therapy. IntroducciónLa depresión es uno de los trastornos mentales más frecuentes, afectando a 340 millones de personas en el mundo (Organización Mundial de la Salud, 2004). En lo que a España se refiere, la prevalencia a los 12 meses en población adulta general oscila entre 1.300.000 y 1.500.000 personas, esto es, aproximadamente el 4% de los mayores de 18 años de nuestro país (Gabilondo et al., 2010).

“…The CDI is the most commonly used measure of depressive symptomatology in depression studies with children and adolescents (Horowitz & Garber, 2006) and has been reliably used with early adolescent Australian Depression as a moderator samples (Roberts, Kane, Thomson, Bishop, & Hart, 2003). The validity and reliability of the Sociocultural Attitudes Towards Appearance Questionnaire-3 (Thompson, van den Berg, Roehrig, Guarda, & Heinberg, 2004) as a measure of media internalization has been previously confirmed with young-adolescent Australian girls and boys (Wilksch & Wade, 2012).…”

Highlights To date there have been no examinations of moderators of outcome in universal eating disorder prevention trials  This study investigated if depression moderated outcome of Media Smart, a school-based program previously found to reduce risk factors over a 2.5-year follow-up  Baseline depression moderated program outcome for shape and weight concern, media internalization, body dissatisfaction, ineffectiveness and perceived pressure. Participants with high depression experienced significant immediate benefit from Media Smart at postporgram, while those with low depression experienced a prevention effect over the 2.5-year follow-up. The goal of universal eating disorder prevention programs should be to halt risk factor growth over time and Media Smart did this for the important variable of shape and weight concern. *Highlights (for review)Depression as a moderator 2 Abstract Objective: To investigate if baseline depression moderated response to Media Smart, an 8-lesson school-based program previously found to achieve a long-term risk reduction effect in young adolescents. Method: 540 Grade 8 students (M age = 13.62 years, SD = .37) from 4 schools participated with 11 classes receiving the Media Smart program (126 girls; 107 boys) and 13 comparison classes receiving their normal lessons (147 girls; 160 boys). Shape and weight concern, media internalization, body dissatisfaction, dieting, ineffectiveness, and perceived pressure were the outcome variables. Results: Moderation was indicated by significant interaction effects for group (Media Smart; Control) X moderator (high depression; low depression) X time (post-program; 6-month follow-up; 2.5-year follow-up), with baseline entered as a covariate. Such effects were found for shape and weight concern, media internalization, body dissatisfaction, ineffectiveness and perceived pressure. Posthoc testing found high depression Media Smart participants scored significantly lower than their control counterparts at post-program on shape and weight concern, media internalization and dieting, whereas low depression Media Smart participants scored significantly lower on shape and weight concern at 2.5-year followup. Discussion: Media Smart achieved a reduction in eating disorder risk factors for high-depression participants and a reduced rate of growth in risk factor scores for low-depression participants.
