This study investigated whether or not adolescents who participated in an internet-based depression prevention program experienced positive results. The study found that factors such as the amount of time participants spent on the website, the strength of the relationship with their physician, the ease with which each participant was able to use the website, and the relevance of the material on the website to each participant had an effect on the results. The study found that internet-based depression prevention programs might be of use in the prevention of depression in adolescents and should be considered.
