This longitudinal study examined peer rejection as a predictor
of adolescent depressive symptoms during the critical developmental period associated with substantial increases in the prevalence of girls» depression.
The present study addressed these issues by examining the concurrent and prospective longitudinal effects of maternal parenting, DRD2 TaqIA polymorphism, and their interaction
on adolescent depressive symptoms in a sample of 1026 Chinese adolescents (M age = 11.33 ± 0.47 years at T1, 50.3 % girls) in a three - wave longitudinal study from age 11 to 13.
Results indicated that maternal positive and negative parenting significantly concurrently
predicted adolescent depressive symptoms at all three waves, whereas TaqIA polymorphism had no main effect on depressive symptoms.
Parental depressive symptoms were assessed using a questionnaire when the children were 9 and 7 years old in the two cohorts, and
then adolescent depressive symptoms were assessed when the children were 13 and 14 years old.
Table 4 presents the associations between parental alcohol use at ages 4 and 12 years (using linear and binary terms) and

This project aimed to test the relative benefits of reducing parent and
adolescent depressive symptoms through a family substance abuse education program (the BEST Program), a purpose - designed enhanced adolescent cognitive therapy (delivered over eight weeks), and a combination of both (delivered over 12 weeks).
Using multiple linear regression analyses, our results suggest that higher levels of childhood depressive symptoms and earlier menarche have independent effects
on adolescent depressive symptoms.

We also found insufficient evidence to support an association between maternal alcohol use at age 4 years and
adolescent depressive symptoms (intercept: b =.001, 95 % CI = -.01,.01, and slope: b =.003, 95 % CI = -.03,.03) per 1 - unit change in maternal alcohol use.
