Trends in Adolescent Mental Health
PSY4381.01
Course Description
Summary
Adolescent mental health has become a topic of public discourse, due to research showing increases in depressed mood and anxiety among teens. This course is for students interested in a rigorous reading of the recent (past five years) literature on adolescent mental health. We will discuss methodologies to research adolescent mental health, as well as statistical techniques. Using the available evidence, we will debate major theories that explain increases in depressed mood and anxiety.Prerequisites
