Findings from the KSADS interview were consistent with
our prior published data on a subset of this clinical trial
sample showing that anxiety disorders are widely prevalent
in JPFS with over half the sample meeting the DSM-IV
criteria for one or more anxiety disorders. About 24% of
adolescents met criteria for an attentional disorder and
19% met criteria for a depressive disorder (Table I). It
should be noted that fewer participants met diagnostic
criteria for depressive disorder on the clinical interview
than those scoring above the clinical cut-off on the CDI
(19% versus 25% of the sample). The overlap between the
two groups was substantial but not identical with 65% of
those meeting diagnostic criteria for depressive disorder
also scoring above the CDI cut-off.
