title: [School Based, Universal Primary Prevention of Depressive Symptoms (Disorders) in Adolescents].
abstract: The universal prevention programme "Lifeskills with LARS&LISA" includes 10 sessions held in a regular school setting. We expected the programme to empower young people to improve their life skills, to foster their realistic thinking, to influence school behaviour and thus to prevent the development of depressive symptoms. The "Lifeskills with LARS&LISA" programme can be successfully delivered to a school-based population (grades 7-8) and integrated into the classroom curriculum. Our results demonstrate a prevention (less depressive symptoms) but also an intervention effect on social skills, school behaviour (more social, less aggressive).
