Abstract
This pilot study evaluated the impact of a teaching package for school staff on their ability to recognize depressed pupils within a year group in their school. Sixteen teachers were tested before and after training on their ability to identify depressed pupils in that year. The pupils were screened using a 2-stage procedure to determine caseness for Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). After training, teachers felt more confidant about their ability to recognize depressed pupils but this was not able to be statistically verified because of small teachers numbers. This suggests a promising way forward in recognizing depression in the community.
