Summary

The goal of this study is to examine the use of new technologies in disseminating and improving CBT treatment for adolescent depression. An on-line therapist training tutorial will be followed by 12 weeks of CBT treatment according to the training protocol. CBT treatment will be augmented with the use of automated text messages for homework reminders and reinforcement of learning. In session patient education and review of CBT concepts will be augmented through teaching materials delivered via iPad. 16 therapists will be recruited, each treating 4 depressed adolescents. Half the therapists will be randomly assigned to TAU, followed by the training intervention. Automated patient outcomes measures will be examined.
