Why would I want to get involved?
This is your chance to tell researchers studying adolescent depression what is important to you as a family member or caregiver who supports or has supported a youth living with depression!
-
You can help us come to a common understanding of the most important “outcomes” to measure in all teenage depression studies.
The things that are measured in research studies are called the study “outcomes,” for example:
-
Quality of life
-
How depression affects daily activities
-
-
Sleep problems
-
Treatment satisfaction
-
How satisfied you are with the way your health-care providers are treating/managing your depression
-
-
The goal of this study is to create and share a short list of important outcomes, and instructions on how to measure them.
-
Measuring the same outcomes in the same way means we can compare findings from different studies, which makes it easier to find out which treatments work the best!
