Summary
This research examines and seeks to bridge the gaps between the evidence about what works to treat depression in young people and actual clinical practice, with the aim of improving treatment, especially with antidepressant medication. Information about these evidence-practice gaps and an examination of barriers to using evidence-based treatments will be used to develop and test an intervention to assist clinicians to treat young people with depression in the best possible way.
