Depression and role impairment among adolescents in primary care clinics

Grade Retention and Seventh-Grade Depression Symptoms in the Course of School Dropout among High-Risk Adolescents

“…These inconsistent findings are surprising considering the large body of knowledge indicating that depression often co-occurs with academic difficulties (Fleming et al, 2005;Storvoll, Wichstrom, & Pape, 2003). The relationship between depression and grade retention (Asarnow et al, 2005;Fiske & Neuharth-Pritchett, 2007;Resnick et al, 1997), a serious risk factor of school dropout (Alexander, Entwisle, & Kabbani, 2001;Jimerson, Anderson, & Whipple, 2002;Pagani et al, 2008), is particularly noteworthy as it could help explain why children who face these issues are at increased risk for dropout. This study aims at understanding the relationship between depression and grade retention in the course of dropout Emotional distress and depression in adolescence are known to be associated with grade retention (Asarnow et al, 2005;Fiske & Neuharth-Pritchett, 2007;Resnick et al, 1997), one of the most important risk factors for school dropout.…”

The effect of retention on dropout has been found to be very persistent and generally outweighing other risks (Alexander et al, 2001;Jimerson et al, 2002;Pagani et al, 2008).…”

Adolescents in Primary Care with Sub-Threshold Depressed Mood Screened for Participation in a Depression Prevention Study: Co-Morbidity and Factors Associated with Depressive Symptoms

“…By age 24, one-quarter of adolescents will develop a depressive disorder with substantial adverse impact on both individuals and society with costs in excess of 100 billion dollars per year [3][4][5][6]. Regardless of the risk of progression, sub-threshold depressive symptoms at the level of minor depression with at least two core symptoms for at least 2 weeks result in considerable cost and impairment of social and academic function [7,8].…”

Anxiety/Depression And Academic Achievement In Adolescents In Prishtina

“…Moreover, several researchers have linked depressive disorders or symptoms to underachievement (e.g., PuigAntich et al, 1993). Adolescents with depression are at increased risk for impairment in school and educational attainment (Asarnow, Jaycox, Duan, LaBorde, et al, 2005).This notion was then supported by Zaid, Chan, and Ho (2007) in the study on emotional disorders among medical students in one of the Malaysian private colleges found that students who experienced depression had a lower academic performance. Eisenberg, Golberstein, & Hunt (2009) stated that detailed descriptive analysis of association between mental health and academic outcomes in college showed depression as a significant predictor of lower GPA (Grade Point Average) and co-occurring anxiety and depression have an additional negative association with GPA.…”
