Appendices study will help us better understand the concept of depression and help-seeking behaviors of our local youth. What are the study procedures? All of the adolescents in your child's class are being asked to participate. We are interested in the thoughts and experiences of students in grades 8 and 11. Students who participate in the study will be asked to fill out a set of questionnaires in their classrooms that will take approximately 50 minutes to complete during class time for 1 session. The questionnaires will be confidential and no names will appear on any of the forms. Most of the questionnaires have been used previously in research in school settings and there have been no ill effects from answering these questions. One set of questions asks students to provide information about their background, such as age, gender, or language spoken at home. The other questionnaires assess social and emotional competence. Students are also asked to define depression, and how they make decisions to seek help. Many students find the questionnaires interesting. Students whose parents do not provide consent to participate in the study will be given work to do within the classroom that is relevant to the subject of the class they are in at the time. Following completion of the questionnaires, the class will resume. In our project, we are not, in any sense "testing" the youth. There are no right or wrong answers-we simply want to know how adolescents define depression in others their age and in themselves, and what they do about it. Participation in this study is voluntary and withdrawal from the research study or refusal to participate at any time will not jeopardize the student in any way. How will privacy and confidentiality be maintained? All of your child's answers will be completely confidential and will not be made available to other students, parents, teachers, or any school or university personnel. However, if a participant's answers to one measure suggest that he or she may be feeling depressed or thinking about hurting himself or herself, contact will be made with the participant, parent or guardian, and the school counsellor. Due to the nature of this study, a small number of students may provide information about their well-being that warrants further investigation. Right after completion of the questionnaires, Ms. Fuks Geddes will score one set of questions for each participant's level of depression, and potential for self harm. Ms. Fuks Geddes will contact each participant who scores in the potential risk for clinical depression and refer them to their school counsellor who will NOT be shown any answers to the questions. If we refer this child to the school counsellor for further follow up for potential risk for clinical depression, we will send the parent or guardian a note within a 24 hour period of referral to inform them that we have referred their child to the school counsellor. Additionally, the school counsellor will be prepared to meet with these individuals. For those few participants who may express that they feel like hurting themselves, Ms. Czesia Fuks Geddes will contact these participants within 24 hours to ask them if they feel like hurting themselves at present. If these very few participants respond that they feel like hurting themselves presently, they will be referred to the school counsellor and the parent or guardian will be contacted by telephone within 24 hours of this response. No specific child will be referred to by name or identified in any way in the report of the results. Students' names will be removed from any questionnaires and be replaced with a code number. All documents will be kept in a locked cabinet in the custody of the Co-Investigator, Ms. Czesia Fuks Geddes. Under no circumstances will anyone other than the researchers have access to the information collected from the students. This is done in order to ensure that students who may benefit from further evaluation can be identified. After completing the survey, each participant will receive a resource pamphlet describing the different resources available for young people on the North Shore and Vancouver. Is there any compensation? 240
Appendices An honorarium of $70 will be donated to the teacher and the entire classroom regardless of whether consent to participate is provided. Most often, the fund is used to have a pizza party for the students. Contact information? If you have questions or wish to further discuss this project, please do not hesitate to call me at 604-822-0634. You may also contact my research advisor, Dr. Kimberly Schonert-Reichl, at 604-822-2215. Additionally, if you have any concerns about your child's rights as a research participant, you may contact the Research Subject Information Line in the UBC Office of Research Services at 604-822-8598. Participation in this study is entirely voluntary and you may refuse to have your child participate or withdraw from the study any time, even after signing this consent form. Also, we always respect a student's wishes as to whether he or she wants to participate. Refusing to participate or withdrawal will not jeopardize your child's education in any way. We would appreciate it if you would indicate on the slip provided on the attached page whether or not your son/daughter has permission to participate. Would you then kindly sign and date the slip and have your son/daughter return it to school tomorrow? Thank you very much for considering this request. Sincerely, Czesia Fuks Geddes 241
