Sought to determine if a correlation existed between the incidence of depression among 24 adolescents admitted to a hospital psychiatric service and the incidence of depression among their parents. No correlation between adolescent and paternal depression was found. (Since mothers evidenced no depression, their test results were not correlated with the adolescents'.) (Author/RH)
