Latent Transitions in Mental Health outcomes in a Sample of Adolescents in Treatment for Depression

Oregon Convention Center 

In this report, we attempt to identify subgroups of participants experiencing differential patterns of transitions over time. The data are from the Texas Youth Depression and Suicide Research Network (TX-YDSRN), a multi-site registry network of adolescents (8-17 years of age) who are under treatment for depression or suicidal ideation. We utilized Pediatric Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Inventory (PROMIS -Pediatric 25): a self-reported measure of Physical Function and Mobility, Depression Severity, Anxiety, Fatigue, Peer Relationships, Pain Interference, and Pain Severity of these participants over a period of 6-months during which 4 data-points were collected. The model selection was based on fit statistics such as Akaike Information Criterion (AIC), Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC), Consistent AIC (CAIC), and Adjusted BIC (ABIC), etc.
