“…Therefore, this study is silent with regard to the validity of cognitive models in predicting depressive diagnoses in young adolescents. The rate of MDD at Time 2 (5.2%) in this sample of young adolescents (i.e., ages 12 to 13 years) is consistent with other studies of youth this age (see Costello, Erkanli, & Angold, 2006, for a review) and from community samples (e.g., Albert & Beck, 1975; Bird, Gould, Yager, Staghezza, & Canino, 1989; Fleming, Offord, & Boyle, 1989; Graham & Rutter, 1973; Kandel & Davies, 1982; Kashani et al, 1987; Velez, Johnson, & Cohen, 1989), although this rate is lower than that generally found in other high-risk samples (e.g., Beardslee, Schultz, & Selman, 1987; Hammen, Gordon, et al, 1987; Klein, Clark, Dansky, & Margolis, 1988; Pilowsky et al, 2006; Weissman, 1988). This may be partially due to differences in the current diagnostic status of the parents.…”
