Summary
This study tests a school-based program to prevent depression and suicide in teenagers attending special education schools in the Netherlands. About 236 students with mild depressive symptoms will either receive a cognitive behavioral therapy group training or be monitored. Teachers will also get training to spot warning signs. The goal is to see if this approach reduces depressive symptoms and prevents suicide in this at-risk group.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Op Volle Kracht (cognitive behavioral therapy group training) and Gatekeeperstraining (teacher training)
What this could lead to
If effective, this program could provide a proven way to prevent depression and suicide in a vulnerable group of adolescents who attend special education schools.
What could go wrong
This is a relatively small trial (236 participants) testing an adapted program, so results may not apply broadly. The intervention is behavioral, not a drug, so effects may be modest.
