Previous work has explored reporting discrepancies of depression symptoms between children and their parents, specifically, and identified several demographic factors that potentially affect parent-child agreement. Findings remained mixed, however, on the extent to which these variables influence parent-child agreement. The present study examined parent-child agreement on a self-report assessment of depression symptoms (Patient Health Questionnaire-9 modified for adolescents; PHQ-A) in 698 parent-child dyads. Additionally, we aimed to characterize the relationship between parent-child agreement and treatment utilization. We found a low level of parent-child agreement overall and no significant differences in agreement when examined as a function of, child's sex assigned at birth, ethnicity, or parental history of depression. Additionally, children currently receiving psychotherapy had greater agreement with their parents regarding their depression symptoms than children receiving any other types of services (i.e., medication treatment or a combination treatment). These results suggest that clinicians should expect a low level of agreement between parent and child when assessing youth with depression and should consider gathering contextual information from additional sources to generate a comprehensive assessment. Highlights: The study examined parent-child agreement of depressive symptoms on the Patient Health Questionnaire for Adolescents. Agreement was low overall and did not differ by child age, sex assigned at birth, ethnicity or parental depression history. Agreement was better when youth were receiving psychotherapy. Clinicians should consider low levels of agreement during assessment and treatment of youth depression. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
