“…For instance, acceptance is likely to be important in interventions of youth whose parents experience depression. Regarding active coping, some programs targeted at resolving specific problems have yielded promising results in adult samples (e.g., Day, Kane, & Roberts, 2003;Vinokur et al, 2000). It may be that these kinds of practical, goal-focused approaches to problem solving (e.g., developing action plans to make specific life changes, job search skills) are more effective than are general problem-solving skills (e.g., Spence et al, 2003).…”

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.

“…6 This was also observed in this study. Unemployment has social and economic consequences and thus it often causes stress and even deteriorates health, 7,8 effects that may be especially pronounced in who are just entering working life. Unemployment appears to influence mental health, 7,9 such as depression, which may affect both overweight and underweight.…”

“…Unemployment appears to influence mental health, 7,9 such as depression, which may affect both overweight and underweight. 25 It is possible that unemployment predisposes to passive coping styles, 7,8 especially in circumstances that are more affected by the overall economic recession of a society than by the competence of an individual, as seen in Finland in the 1990s. Unemployment has been shown to increase the risk of stressrelated eating and drinking, which is associated with obesity among women.…”

“…In one British cohort, body mass index (BMI) at 16 y was not associated with unemployment among 33-y-old men. 6 On the other hand, it is plausible that unemployment may influence obesity through adverse effects on life control 7,8 and mental health, 9,10 which then, in turn, may influence health behaviours leading to obesity. One study showed that middle-aged men tended to gain weight during a period of unemployment.…”

OBJECTIVE: To establish (1) if obesity in adolescence predicts a long history of unemployment and other adverse social outcomes at age 31 y and, conversely, (2) the effect of a long history of unemployment on the risk of obesity at 31 y. DESIGN AND SUBJECTS: A longitudinal, population-based study of 9754 subjects born in 1966 in Northern Finland was conducted. The cohort members were studied at birth, 1, 14 and 31 y. MEASUREMENTS: Body mass index (BMI) at 14 and 31 y; work history, as self-reported at 31 y and as recorded in national registers of the total number of days each subject had received unemployment allowance between 1985 and 1997; place of residence at 14 and 31 y; family social class at 14 y; subject's school performance at 16 y; marital status and number of children at 31 y. RESULTS: Overweight and obesity at 14 y did not predict a long history of unemployment at 31 y, but were associated with a low level of education, and being single or divorced at 31 y among females. A long history of unemployment (register data) was associated with an increased risk of obesity among women, but not men, after controlling for potential confounding factors (social class at 14 y, BMI at 14 y, school performance at 16 y, place of residence, and number of children). The adjusted OR (95% CI) was 1.09 (0.72 -1.63) for men, and 1.64 (1.07 -2.50) for women. CONCLUSION: Adverse social outcomes of adolescent obesity seemed to emerge more for women. Subjects with low school performance and women with a long unemployment history are at increased risk of obesity.

“…1 -4 However, public health interventions that have proven effective in one country, are also often adapted and disseminated in other countries where they have not been examined. For example, in the area of psychosocial interventions a wide array of interventions has been adapted for use in other countries, such as the JOBS-programme (prevention of psychosocial problems among the unemployed); 5,6 the 'Coping with Depression' course (prevention and early treatment of depressive disorders; 7 -9 the Australian Triple P programme (prevention and treatment of behaviour problems in children); 10,11 Communities that care (community programmes); 12 the PATHS curriculum for prevention of psychosocial problems at school; 13,14 the Nurse Home Visitation for the prevention of child abuse and neglect. 15 Although the adaptation and dissemination of such interventions in another country are common practice, the process by which effective interventions are chosen for adaptation and dissemination is often not conducted systematically.…”
