Important Considerations for Adolescent Depression Screening

Please add to this section:

Based on results discussed appropriate plan of care with patient

Consider whether there in a need to screen adolescent privately (parent not being there)

Consider a translator for those who might need it for the depression screening

Please can you make box or diagram or a sort of design for this section just like the way it was done in the picture I sent with the assignment instruction

Overall, please consider whether you can make the slide bigger the font size big and everything appearing little bigger Importance of Depression Screening Assignment Paper

 Please don’t forget to update references list as you will add new ones

If you can put a picture somewhere it will be nice, just think of a way to make it more attractive. That is why I was suggesting a table or have a design for the symptoms and also for the considerations if you can have sort of diagram. Please anything you can think of or do to make it look nicer is welcome.

 I am believing that you are the one who also completed the IRB instruction worksheet. I paid extra so it can be assigned to you and I saw the same ID number but I am noticing discrepancies between the assignment in regards to the pre/posttest question and information on the slide and some information on the test questions I have attached to the IRB worksheet are not included in the presentation. The prevalence rate of depression among adolescents on the slide is different from the percentage put on the test question. Please check and make sure about the correct ones

Assignment instructions.
Thank you so much for your continuous support on this project. I noticed you uploaded an assignment but I saw that same assignment on another order so I am guessing it is a wrong assignment here. Please forgive me I did not attach the assignment instruction. You can take your time to complete this assignment if you need additional 2 days, same thing for the IRB worksheet if you need more time. You will need to review the pre/posttest questions attached to the IRB order to assist with some key content that need to be on PowerPoint presentation.
Please see bellow instructions:
This assignment will be the PowerPoint presentation that will be used for the project to educate participants and I will have to submit it with the IRB worksheet.
Please cover all contents, it might be more than the slides I put on the order but please just help me.
You can change or rephrase headings of slide but see below in bold topics to cover
Project objectives

Depression key facts
Please keep in mind that the focus should be on adolescents. You can briefly define Depression to begin with, please insert here Depression is linked to suicide, also insert that depression can be misdiagnosed in teens and support with source.

Risk factors
Again, focus should be on adolescents. Some specific to adolescents can be school stress, parent going through divorce, death of a parent, comparison to peers, relationship, abuse (sexual, drug), obesity, bullying, other mental health services. Please see below for more ideas you may insert.
Many factors increase the risk of developing or triggering teen depression, including:

However, I am fine with whichever way
Teen depression signs and symptoms include a change from the teenager’s previous attitude and behavior that can cause significant distress and problems at school or home, in social activities, or in other areas of life.
