简要总结
This study is being done to test the feasibility of a personalized nutrition eating plan in adolescents with depression. Evidence suggests that dietary quality may affect an individual's mood. A healthy diet includes vegetables, fruit, nuts, seeds, and olive oil, as well as minimally processed whole grains, legumes, and moderate amounts of lean meat, fish, and dairy.
The investigators will examine the feasibility of a personalized nutrition eating plan for children and youth with depression. Previous research has shown that it helps improve depressive symptoms in adults, but it is not clear if the same is true for children and youth.
详细描述
The proposed 8-week, mixed-methods, single-arm study aims to examine the feasibility of an adjunctive personalized dietary intervention for adolescents with major depressive disorder. The secondary aims are to determine potential barriers and facilitators of implementation and to improve adherence and uptake.

结局指标
主要结局
Feasibility of the Intervention
时间窗: Baseline, 9 weeks
Feasibility of Intervention Measure (FIM). The FIM is a self-reported four-item measure scored using a five-point Likert scale ranging from 'completely disagree' (1) to 'completely agree' (5) with higher scores indicating greater acceptability or feasibility. Higher scores indicate greater feasibility with a maximum score of 20.
Acceptability of the Intervention
时间窗: Baseline, 9 weeks
Acceptability of Intervention Measure (AIM). The AIM is a self-reported four-item measure scored using a five-point Likert scale ranging from 'completely disagree' (1) to 'completely agree' (5) with higher scores indicating greater acceptability or feasibility. Higher scores indicate greater acceptability with a maximum score of 20.
Feasibility, Acceptability, and Satisfaction of the Intervention
时间窗: Baseline, 9 weeks
Feasibility, Acceptability, and Satisfaction are also assessed using semi-structured qualitative interviews pre- and post-study intervention.
