| Abstract | Depression's effects on adolescent functioning and family burden are not well understood; there is also limited understanding of teens' and parents' attitudes and knowledge about depression, how these and other factors influence readiness for treatment, and the barriers to care that teens and their parents encounter. To address these knowledge gaps, a team of RAND Health researchers conducted the Teen Depression Awareness Project (TDAP), a multi-year study supported by Pfizer, Inc. The study's goal was to build an empirical base for developing strategies to improve depression care for teens who seek treatment in primary care settings. Key findings of the study include: (1) Depression significantly impairs teen functioning in school, among peers, and in family life, and effects may persist; (2) A majority of white teens reported readiness for treatment for depression; African-American and Hispanic teens reported readiness at lower rates; (3) Greater knowledge of depression therapies, especially among parents, influenced teens' likelihood of receiving care; and (4) Parents and teens who sought treatment perceived barriers that may have stopped them from beginning or continuing care.
