By four-month follow-up, intervention participants displayed significantly lower levels of depressive symptoms than control students (B=-.09, SE=.04, p<.05), with no effect at post-intervention (B=.02, NS). The effect was partially mediated by increased use of social supports (beta indirect = -.01, 95% CI: -.0003, -.035).
