Regular screening for teen depression is recommended by the United States Preventive Services Task Force as the standard of care.. To meet this goal, the Dartmouth's primary care practice based research networks* have been funded for a "Teen Mental Health" quality improvement project. This project will allow offices to better identify and help teens who have depression. Successfully treating depression helps teens live better and more productive lives.
