The Early Prediction of Adolescent Depression study
This data is from the The Early Prediction of Adolescent Depression study. This is a longitudinal prospective cohort study that began in 2007 of recurrently depressed parents and their offspring. The dataset shows the fourth wave of data collection for both parent and young person, collected from 2018 to 2020. The first three waves cannot be included due to ethical restrictions.

Continuous variables are: parent and self-reported Mood and Feelings Questionnaire (MFQ) scores and self-reported Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) Impact score.
Binary variables: self-reported Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT) score above harmful drinking threshold, combined report of anxiety disorder, combined report of broadly defined depressive disorder, combined report of mood or anxiety disorder, self-reported NEET status (not in education, employment or training), self-reported completed a university degree, self-reported low social support (only has one person or no one to rely on), self-reported recent self-harm or suicide attempt and the combined report of the SDQ impact score is abnormal or borderline.
