Abstract

In this research we evaluated the relationship between protection factors and risk factors with depressive symptoms in adolescence. For that, a cross-sectional study was conducted with 388 Sergipe high school students. A socio-demographic / school questionnaire was used and the scales of the Assessment of Childhood Depression Indicators (BAID-IJ). Data were analyzed using the Multinomial Logistic Regression test. We observed that the female gender (OR = 6.1) and age 16 years or older (OR = 3.3) significantly increased the odds of the adolescents score in the high stratum of depressive symptomatology. Low self-concept scores (OR = 5.7), high helplessness (OR = 12.3), high loneliness (OR = 7.0) and high hopelessness (OR = 2.8) had a significant impact on the presence of symptoms of depression. It is believed that such findings may aid in the development of effective interventions for depressive symptoms in adolescence
