We know that social interactions and emotional responses play an important role in shaping mental health outcomes for teenagers. However, we don't know how teen responses contribute to their experiences of stressful life events and future depression risk. Therefore, in this study we are examining adolescents' brain function, emotions, and social interactions and how these relate to youth mental health. For this study, we are recruiting female adolescents (ages 13-15) and their participating parent, based on the parent's history of depression.
Participation includes both virtual and in-person visits. The first is a virtual visit where you will have psychiatric interviews and answer questionnaires. You will then have a visit at UNC where your teen will complete computer tasks while we measure their brain waves. You and your teen will also complete an interaction task during which both your and your teen's heartbeat will be recorded. Your teen will also have a functional MRI scan at Duke to non-invasively measure brain function while interacting with other teenagers. Your teen will also complete surveys on a cell phone app for 14 days. There will be 3 virtual follow-up visits over 12 months that include interviews and questionnaires.
