GroupTitleDescriptionWith the outcomeAnalysedClinicalTrials.gov code
Group 1IPT-A Adaptive Treatment Strategy
Adolescents begin with an initial treatment plan of 12 weekly sessions of interpersonal psychotherapy for depressed adolescents (IPT-A). Depressive symptoms will be assessed at week 4 and week 8 of therapy. If an adolescent demonstrates an insufficient response at either time point, the adolescent will be randomized a second time to either an increased dose of IPT-A (sessions scheduled twice per week for 4 weeks;16 sessions total) or the addition of a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI).~Interpersonal Psychotherapy for Depressed Adolescents: IPT-A is an evidence-based intervention that aims to decrease depressive symptoms by helping adolescents improve their relationships and interpersonal interactions. It addresses one or more of four interpersonal problem areas: grief, role disputes, role transitions, and interpersonal deficits. The primary treatment techniques in IPT-A include emotion identification/expression, linking interpersonal events to mood, communication analysis, communication skill building, decision analysis, role playing, and assignment of interpersonal experiments (i.e. homework). In clinical trials, depressed adolescents treated with IPT-A demonstrated fewer depressive symptoms and better psychosocial functioning post-treatment than adolescents in control conditions.~Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor: Fluoxetine, escitalopram, citalopram, fluvoxamine, or sertraline

Group 2Usual Care
Therapists will implement therapy procedures that they usually use and believe to be effective in clinical practice. Therapists will use whatever methods they usually use to make decisions regarding the frequency of therapy sessions and whether to refer the adolescent to start an SSRI.~Usual Care: Therapists will implement therapy procedures that they usually use and believe to be effective in clinical practice. Therapists will use whatever methods they usually use to make decisions regarding the frequency of therapy sessions and whether to refer the adolescent to start an SSRI
