This meta - analysis of social and emotional learning interventions (including 213 school - based SEL programs and 270,000 students from rural, suburban and urban areas) showed that social and emotional learning interventions had the following effects on students ages 5 - 18: decreased emotional distress such as anxiety and
depression, improved social and emotional skills (e.g., self - awareness, self - management, etc.), improved attitudes about self, others, and school (including
higher academic motivation, stronger bonding
with school and teachers, and more positive attitudes about school), improvement in prosocial school and classroom behavior (e.g., following classroom rules), decreased classroom misbehavior and aggression, and improved academic performance (e.g. standardized achievement test

Except for maltreated children
with the s / s genotype, maltreated children
with monthly or more frequent contact
with their primary support had relatively low
depression scores (which were, on average, only 3 points
higher than the mean
depression score of the CC group).

scores showed that parents in the intervention group reported
higher scores than those in the UC group on the aggressive behavior subscale (7.74 vs 6.80; adjusted β, 0.83 [95 % CI, 0.37 - 1.30]-RRB-, although neither group reached a subscale
score of clinical significance (the cutoff for this age is 22 years)(Table 3).14 There were no group differences in reported sleep problems or problems
with depression or anxiety.

Within the maltreated group, the children
with l / l or l / s genotype had only slight elevations in their
depression scores compared
with CCs, but the children
with s / s, the most vulnerable genotype, had
depression scores that were twice as
high as the
depression scores of the CC children
with the same genotype (maltreatment plus s / s genotype, 27.2 ± 13.0; CC plus s / s genotype, 13.1 ± 6.4) and almost twice as
high as the
depression scores of the maltreated children
with the other genotypes.
The items in each subscale were on a four - point scale ranging from «strongly disagree» (1) to «strongly agree» (4) yielding possible
scores from seven to 28,
with a
higher score indicating a greater level of general anxiety and
depression.
Many of the scales demonstrated weak psychometrics in at least one of the following ways: (a) lack of psychometric data [i.e., reliability and / or validity; e.g., HFQ, MASC, PBS, Social Adjustment Scale - Self - Report (SAS - SR) and all perceived self - esteem and self - concept scales], (b) items that fall on more than one subscale (e.g., CBCL - 1991 version), (c) low alpha coefficients (e.g., below.60) for some subscales, which calls into question the utility of using these subscales in research and clinical work (e.g., HFQ, MMPI - A, CBCL - 1991 version, BASC, PSPCSAYC), (d)
high correlations between subscales (e.g., PANAS - C), (e) lack of clarity regarding clinically - relevant cut - off
scores, yielding
high false positive and false negative rates (e.g., CES - D, CDI) and an inability to distinguish between minor (i.e., subclinical) and major (i.e., clinical) «cases» of a disorder (e.g.,
depression; CDI, BDI), (f) lack of correspondence between items and DSM criteria (e.g., CBCL - 1991 version, CDI, BDI, CES - D, (g) a factor structure that lacks clarity across studies (e.g., PSPCSAYC, CASI; although the factor structure is often difficult to assess in studies of pediatric populations, given the small sample sizes), (h) low inter-rater reliability for interview and observational methods (e.g., CGAS), (i) low correlations between respondents such as child, parent, teacher [e.g., BASC, PSPCSAYC, CSI, FSSC - R, SCARED, Connors Ratings Scales - Revised (CRS - R)-RSB-, (j) the inclusion of somatic or physical symptom items on mental health subscales (e.g., CBCL), which is a problem when conducting studies of children
with pediatric physical conditions because physical symptoms may be a feature of the condition rather than an indicator of a mental health problem, (k)
high correlations
with measures of social desirability, which is particularly problematic for the self - related rating scales and for child - report scales more generally, and (l) content validity problems (e.g., the RCMAS is a measure of anxiety, but contains items that tap mood, attention, peer interactions, and impulsivity).
Cognitive behavior therapy showed a lower rate of MDD at the end of treatment compared
with NST (17.1 % vs 42.4 %; P =.02), and resulted in a
higher rate of remission (64.7 %, defined as absence of MDD and at least 3 consecutive Beck
Depression Inventory
scores < 9) than SBFT (37.9 %; P =.03) or NST (39.4 %; P =.04).

Primary outcomes were the Posttraumatic Diagnostic Scale (PDS) 25,26 for PTSD symptoms and the Symptom Checklist
Depression Scale (SCL - 20) for depressive symptoms.27 The PDS (17 items) assesses severity of PTSD symptoms over the prior 4 weeks
with high internal consistency and test - retest reliability26;
scores are summed and range from 0 to 51;
scores of 10 or less are mild; 11 to 20, moderate; 21 to 35, moderate to severe; and at least 36, severe.
ABFT has been reviewed by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration's National Registry of Evidence - based Programs and Practices (NREPP) and awarded a quality of research
score of 3.5 for
depression and 3.6 for suicide ideation and a 4.0 for readiness for dissemination (based on a scale of 0.0 - 4.0,
with 4.0 being the
highest)
The possible range of
scores for EDS and SCL -90-R is 0 — 30,
with higher scores indicative of more severe
depression or anxiety [78, 81].
Patients
with chronic
depression had significantly
higher relationship dissatisfaction
scores than patients
with non-chronic
depression.
High neuroticism
scores are related to reduced psychosocial wellbeing, psychological adjustment and quality of life in patients
with IBD [81] or
higher depression and anxiety vulnerability.
This cutoff point corresponds to 80th percentile
scores for community samples and has a 95 % sensitivity for diagnosing major depressive disorder (MDD) among low - income women, although the specificity and positive predictive value for MDD are low (70 % and 0.28, respectively).29, 30 The cutoff point of 16 has been used by many investigators assessing depressive symptoms in a variety of cohorts, including pregnant women.28 — 33 When studying depressive symptoms during pregnancy, some investigators chose to use a
higher CES - D cutoff point (eg, the 90th percentile) to account for the possibility that symptoms of normal pregnancy may overlap
with symptoms of
depression.9, 18 There is no evidence that this approach is more accurate or preferable to using the cutoff point of 16, and the use of
higher cutoff points increases specificity but decreases sensitivity for MDD.28 We used a consistent cutoff point of 16 to define depressive symptoms before and after parturition.
General indices regarding mental health of mothers have been associated
with their children's sleep, and less well - organized sleep patterns have been noted in children from poorly functioning families.113) Mothers of children
with sleep disturbances exhibited much
higher psychological stress than did controls, obtaining increased
scores on all factors of the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ).114) Children's sleep quality significantly predicted that of their mothers,
with maternal sleep quality associated
with stress and fatigue.115) Moreover, infants of mothers
with low levels of
depression and anxiety were more likely to recover from sleep problems than those
with high levels of
depression and anxiety after controlling for the influence of attachment patterns.116) Sleep disturbances in early childhood were positively related to negative maternal perceptions of their child, 117) potentially interfering
with the development of beneficial parent - child interactions.

Furthermore, altered frontal FC in infants born to mothers
with higher fluctuation of a maternal
depression score from pre - to post-natal period may reflect a neural basis for the familial transmission of phenotypes associated
with psychopathology.
Their mothers had
higher Edinburgh Postnatal
Depression Scale
scores (median: 8 vs 5) and more difficulties
with their partner undermining the management of their child.
Persistence or recurrence of infant sleep problems in the preschool years is common and is associated
with slightly
higher child behavior problems and maternal
depression scores.
