Summary

The present study aims to develop a new predictive index to predict future depression of adolescents by using factors including individual, interpersonal and environmental. The index can be used to predict likelihood of students who are non-probable depression cases convert into probable depression cases. In addition, the investigators also test the factors of depression remission. It can hence be used in school setting to identify high-risk students, and provide them with secondary interventions that are designed by considering modifiable significant variables identified in this unique, large-scale, longitudinal study.
