The Government has offered Australia's three mobile operators, and vividwireless, renewal of their existing spectrum allocated on 15 year licences in the late 90s and early 2000s at set prices, while the Government expects to rake in $3 billion.
Dr. Judy Garber, of Vanderbert University, the lead researcher in the study, stated, "We hope that the program will not only prevent depression, but also the impairments associated with it."
She adds, "We will be looking at alcohol and drug use, eating problems, anxiety and behavior problems and performance in school." [Time magazine]
She also made a comment about teens dealing with a depressed parent: "It's awfully hard to change your thinking habits if a parent is depressed and everything is so chaotic around you.”
The researchers hope to add to their study with experiments on depression and teenagers with depressed parents.
For additional information on teen depression and this study, please read the Time magazine article mentioned earlier.
A video on the study published in JAMA is also available.
It is described as: "Adolescents at-risk for depression may benefit from a prevention program -- except when they've got a currently depressed parent."
