From: Self-evaluation as an active ingredient in the experience and treatment of adolescent depression; an integrated scoping review with expert advisory input

 

Inclusion

Exclusion

Participants

All participants must be between the ages of 11 to 24. If only mean and SD is given, mean+/− SD must fall within our target age range. If age is not specified, include ‘adolescent’

If age is not mentioned, exclude ‘adults’, ‘children’, ‘infants’, ‘students’

Specific participant group that may present with unique self-evaluation e.g. all homeless

Depression status

Primary diagnosis of depression. Identified through prior diagnosis, clinical interview, or meet threshold for elevated depression symptoms prespecified by the study authors

Median split depression measures. Thresholds identified not relating to clinical cut offs, e.g. no justification for cut off.

Co-occurring conditions

Where studies report on a participant group with primary anxiety or bipolar II, and secondary depression.

Where other physical or mental health conditions are reported as the primary problem.

Self-evaluation measurement

Any study that measures self-evaluation (or related terms) as a characteristic, or target of intervention, in adolescent depression.

Where the only measurement of self is:

1) too broad e.g. self-esteem;

2) too specific e.g. self-efficacy that focuses on the evaluation of a specific skill

3) not relevant to the self-judgement of the individual e.g. self-awareness

4) a more generic measure with self-items but no subscale e.g. a depression measure

Type of study

Peer-reviewed primary research.
