As can be seen in Table 26, only about half (45.2%) <strong>of</strong> the 31 a<strong>do</strong>lescents who self-<br />
recognized <strong>depression</strong> in the past two weeks prior to the survey were screened as "Depressed."<br />
Table K1-13 in Appendix K1 provides an overview <strong>of</strong> the association <strong>of</strong> lifetime self-recognition<br />
<strong>of</strong> <strong>depression</strong> to depressive symptomatology illustrating that 15 a<strong>do</strong>lescents screened as<br />
"Depressed," self-recognized <strong>depression</strong> beyond the two weeks prior to the survey, and 1<br />
a<strong>do</strong>lescent screened as "Depressed" did not self-recognize <strong>depression</strong>.<br />
To calculate the differences in those a<strong>do</strong>lescents who self-recognized and did not self-<br />
recognize <strong>depression</strong> for the RADS-2 (Reynolds, 2002) Depression Total Score means, the 30<br />
a<strong>do</strong>lescents screened as "Depressed" with a score <strong>of</strong> greater or equal to 76 were removed from<br />
the analysis, and a t test was conducted for the remaining participants. For the means <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Depression Total Score, those a<strong>do</strong>lescents who self-recognized <strong>depression</strong> (M= 57.63,<br />
SD = 9.39) had a significantly higher mean on the RADS-2 (Reynolds, 2002) Depression Total<br />
Score than those a<strong>do</strong>lescents who did not self-recognize <strong>depression</strong> (M= 49.01, SD = 9.30), t<br />
(296) = 7.95, p .000 (two-tailed).<br />
Further, to examine the differences between those a<strong>do</strong>lescents who self-recognized<br />
<strong>depression</strong> and those who did not self-recognize <strong>depression</strong> for the RADS-2 (Reynolds, 2002)<br />
Depression Total Score, the medians and their range were calculated for the participants who<br />
