Adolescent Mood During Puberty and Testosterone
This study is exploring how puberty and hormones might affect mood in adolescents, specifically looking at why depression rates change differently for girls and boys during this time. It's testing a 4-week mobile program called "Healthy Minds Program" which aims to improve coping and emotion regulation skills. You might be able to join if you are between 11 and 14 years old, have your own mobile device, and have experienced a stressful life event recently or have moderate depression (a CES-DC score of 16 or higher). The study will measure changes in your depression symptoms (CES-DC Score) over up to 8 weeks to see if the program is helpful. The current recruitment status is unclear.

What this trial measures
- CES-DC Score Over Timeup to Week 8
The 20-item Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale for Children (CES-DC) will be the primary measure of severity of depressive symptoms. Each item is rated 0 (not at all) to 3 (a lot), with items 4, 8, 12, and 16 being reversed scored. The total CES-DC score may range from 0-60. Higher scores indicate more severe depressive symptoms. Scores of 15 or greater are suggestive of significant depressive symptoms. The overall CES-DC score will be assessed at the end of each week in the study.
