Nearly all primary care clinicians agree that it is important to screen for adolescent depression, yet many feel hindered by both a lack of training and time constraints. The study by Richardson et al shows that targeted screening can be effective, even when time is tight. Stength of recommendation: B: Based on a single cohort study against gold standard; consistent with studies in other populations.
