Why was this study done?

Depression is the number one health problem in adolescents, and by age 18, 20% of adolescents will experience a major depressive episode. For kids and teens with inflammatory bowel disease, the risk for depression is high. One in three adolescents struggle with some form of depression. Depression is linked to (associated with) difficulty adhering to medication, worsened disease activity, and higher healthcare costs. Yet, little is known about depression screening practices in pediatric IBD care. An improved understanding of current screening practices is an important step toward promoting mental health in pediatrics.
