See also Resources for Doctors and Nurses in Primary Care SettingsGuidelines for Adolescent Depression in Primary Care Major depression in teens is common and often recurrent. However, most of these cases are not identified or treated until teens reach their early adulthood. Therefore, experts and patient advocacy groups from across North America collaborated on Guidelines for Adolescent Depression in Primary Care (GLAD-PC) to help family doctors identify and manage depression. The GLAD-PC toolkit was developed to help doctors and pediatricians work with patients in their clinics with depression. The toolkit is being tested in both the U.S. and Canada and is available to doctors who are interested in improving their ability to care for teens with depression. The toolkit includes materials such as questionnaires for teens to complete to help diagnose depression, as well as information sheets for teens with depression to learn about the illness and the available treatments. Doctors or nurse practitioners working in primary care settings who would like to know more about the GLAD-PC project may contact: Dr. Amy Cheung Registered Nurses Association of Ontario. (2003). Enhancing Healthy Adolescent Development . Toronto: Author.
