Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this pilot study is to test the effectiveness of French adaptation of the Blues program, a school-based indicated depression prevention intervention. The program will be delivered by the endogenous psycho-social staff of 3 Montreal secondary schools to adolescents with sub-clinical depressive symptoms and compared to a no-intervention (Informational Brochure only) control condition, designed to represent the "usual intervention" in these schools.
