Prevalence rates for adolescent depression vary by research study and the age of the youth, but are estimated to be around 5%. Additionally, many youth suffer from significant impairment but don't meet the criteria for major depression. Volume 8(4) of The Prevention Researcher examines teenage depression, taking a special look at depression among multiethnic youth, the co-occurrence of depression and substance use, and risk and protective factors.
