INTRODUCTION: There is currently no depression prevention intervention available to adolescents in primary care. METHOD: Fourteen late adolescents evaluated the acceptability (performance and ratings), potential adverse effects (negative emotions), and benefits (pre/post measures of three risk factors for depression) of a combined primary care Internet-based depression prevention intervention. Nearly all participants engaged the website (13/14) and 8/14 completed the entire intervention. RESULTS: Completers reported high levels of readability and ease of understanding and low levels of negative emotions. Completers showed favorable trends for the targeted risk factors: depressive symptoms, dysfunctional thinking, and low social support. CONCLUSION: A primary care/prevention intervention may be acceptable and favorably impact risk factors for depression.
