depressed vignettes from non-depressed vignettes and identify common symptoms of depression in their assessments. The primary differences between the present pilot study and Burns and Rapee (2006) were the ages and residence of the participants. A sample (N=36) of 17- and 18-year-old high school students in the U.S. also was administered the Friend in Need Questionnaire (Burns & Rapee, 2006). Statistically significant main effects were found for the degree of concern for depressed/non-depressed vignettes and for the length of recovery. Anhedonia and suicidality were primary signs in their identification of depression in the depressed vignettes. Recommended sources of help for the depressed vignettes somewhat varied and seemed to depend on the signs of the person in the depressed vignettes. Common sources of recommended help in both vignettes included family and friends. More studies are encouraged in this area as a way to better understand mental health literacy as it pertains to adolescent depression and help-seeking for teenagers who face depression.
