Brief Summary
Having both depression and conduct problems at the same time has been found to be associated with increased risk for the other and increased risk of negative outcomes. This study will develop an family based cognitive behavioral treatment protocol for youths with both conduct problems and depression, that will take be administered over the course of six months. Youth with comorbid conduct problems and depression will be assigned to the experimental condition or treatment as usual in a community care setting. The treatment manual will be revised as needed. Youth will be assessed before and after treatment to examine program potential. The goal of this research is to develop a more comprehensive outpatient treatment for youth with both conduct problems and depression.
