Programs for the prevention of youth depression: evaluation of efficacy, effectiveness, and readiness for dissemination.
This study used the Society for Prevention Research's Standards of Evidence to evaluate the degree to which existing depression prevention programs have established intervention efficacy, effectiveness, and readiness for dissemination. The authors concluded that although several programs have demonstrated promise in terms of efficacy, no depression prevention program for children or adolescents has garnered sufficient evidence of effectiveness under real-world conditions to warrant widespread dissemination.

Treatment and prevention of depression and anxiety in youth: test of cross-over effects.
The present meta-analytic review examined whether interventions for children and adolescents that explicitly targeted either anxiety or depression showed treatment specificity or also impacted the other outcome (i.e. cross-over effects). Anxiety prevention studies (n = 14) significantly affected anxious, but not depressive symptoms, indicating no cross-over effect of anxiety prevention trials on depression. For depression prevention studies (n = 15), the effects were not significant for either depressive or anxiety symptoms, although the effect was significantly larger for depressive than for anxious symptoms.

Comparative effectiveness of cognitive therapy and dynamic psychotherapy for major depressive disorder in a community mental health setting: a randomized clinical noninferiority trial.
The authors sought to determine whether dynamic psychotherapy (DT) is not inferior to cognitive therapy (CT) in the treatment of major depressive disorder (MDD) in a community mental health setting. This study suggests that DT is not inferior to CT on change in depression for the treatment of MDD in a community mental health setting.

Association between social media use and depression among U.S. young adults.
The authors assessed the association between social media use and depression in a nationally representative sample of young adults. They found that participants in the highest quartile of total time per day using social media had significantly increased odds of depression. They conluded that social media use was significantly associated with increased depression.

Consequences of comorbidity of elevated stress and/or depressive symptoms and incident cardiovascular outcomes in diabetes: results from the REasons for Geographic And Racial Differences in Stroke (REGARDS) study.
The authors evaluated the impact of comorbid depressive symptoms and/or stress on adverse cardiovascular (CV) outcomes in individuals with diabetes compared with those without diabetes. They concluded that comorbid stress and/or depressive symptoms are common in individuals with diabetes and together are associated with progressively increased risks for adverse CV outcomes.
