More Book Details

Description of the Book:

Multiple-stage screening is discussed in the context of the prevention literature. Earlier multiple-stage screening studies are presented to illustrate different goals and methods employed. A multiple-stage screening procedure is described for the identification of depression among high school students. Students in grades 9-12 (N=862) completed a three-stage screening procedure. During the first and second stages, students completed a paper-and-pencil self-report measure (Mood and Anxiety Symptom Questionnaire); the third stage involved a computer-administered clinical interview with the student. Logistical issues regarding implementing a multiple-stage screening procedure in schools are presented. The implications of cut-off scores, the comorbodity of anxiety and depression, and other issues regarding the implementation of multiple-stage screening are discussed. The presentation provides a potentially cost efficient, relatively easily implemented technique developed to identify depressed adolescents that can be applied to other emotional and behavioral concerns.
