    Description/Abstract:
    Major depressive episode (MDE) among adolescents is a significant public health issue. Approximately, 4.5 million adolescents have experienced an MDE in the past year. This study examined whether MDEs among adolescents differed based on specific parenting behaviors. A national sample of adolescents ages 12 to 17 years (n = 11,572) completed the 2023 National Survey of Drug use and Health. Univariate and multivariable logistic regression analyses were conducted to determine whether lifetime and past year MDE differed based on parenting behaviors. Results indicated that adolescents at highest risk for both lifetime and past-year MDE were female, older (14-15 or 16-17-years-old), and white. Regarding parenting behaviors, adolescents at highest risk for lifetime and past-year MDE were those who had parents never/seldom check their homework, never/seldom help with their homework, never/seldom limit the amount of TV, never/seldom tell them they did a good job, never/seldom tell them they were proud of them, and who argued/fought with them ten or more times in the past year. These findings show the intricate relationship between adolescent MDE and parenting behaviors. Public health educators should encourage parents to engage in authoritative parenting behaviors (defined as high levels of parental support, warmth, and clear expectations) to help prevent MDE among adolescents. Findings should be used to assist program developers in incorporating parenting components in MDE prevention and treatment efforts.

    Description/Abstract:
    4 parts. 14 pages. “Manrat” is more than just a rat; he is an elusive and amorous spirit residing in the smelly underbelly of man’s city. Fluff N' Stuff and Cheddars are his wisecracking nest-mates who speculate about the motives of Manrat's recently developed depression. All the while, they search the south side sewer for dinner: that is until they run into Talia, licensed psychologist. The two rodent cronies agree to help her back to the world above… if she can first cure Manrat of his sorrowful affliction. Fluff N' Stuff and Cheddars, Manrat's supposed friends are counting on it, but Talia's life is also at play. Can Talia and Manrat find salvation together, or will all four be condemned to wade in the stink of their daily problems? And what about Cheddars and Fluff N' Stuff? Will they be able to scurry out of their own hang-ups and help a friend in his hour of need? Fear. Passion. Giant mutant rats. “Manrat” delivers all in a filthy, unforgiving comedy.
