Evidence shows that effective education about depression for children is done with (a) increasing mental health literacy, (b) increasing emphasis on activities that promote mental health resilience (peer support, exercise, team sports), (c) educating on the effects of social media habits on mental health, (d) getting help and treatment if feelings of depression or anxiety are present and, lastly, (e) the route of education for adolescent populations of different socio-economic status should be taken into account, as the data supports the idea that certain avenues of education, whether that be community or individual based, digitally or in the classroom, allows for improved patient outcomes. 000009272 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000009272 650__ $$aDepression$$017614 000009272 650__ $$aAnxiety$$014946 000009272 650__ $$aMental Health$$022046 000009272 6531_ $$aadolescents 000009272 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000009272 692__ $$aDivision of Physician Assistant Education$$041465 000009272 7001_ $$aSmith, Spencer$$uOregon Health and Science University$$1https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3434-4314$$041354 000009272 789__ $$whttps://doi.org/10.6083/t435gd65t$$2URL 000009272 8564_ $$9314539bc-511e-400b-89b2-4b0a6f54ebb8$$s168079$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/9272/files/Smith.Spencer.2021.capstone.pdf 000009272 905__ $$a/rest/prod/w0/89/2b/77/w0892b770 000009272 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:9272$$pstudent-work 000009272 980__ $$aPhysician Assistant Program collection
