My PICO was based on the adolescent population that is addicted to prescription drugs:  PICO Question: In the adolescent population, how does the treatment of depression overcome the use of prescription drug vs adolescents that do not have treatment for depression? I provided an intervention that utilized computer behavior therapy in treating adolescent depression to prevent/treat prescription drug use. I researched the relationship of depression and prescription drug use in this population.

Advance nurses take on an interdisciplinary approach to address the health care needs of this population group. As nurses, we address the needed population group as a multicultural, socioeconomic, and multiracial goal of ensuring all adolescents are afforded competent health care services. Adolescents are a complex group with much needed specialization. Primary care providers are often the first contact for many adolescents, seeing an estimated 75% of all adolescents, placing them in a favorable position to help screen, identify, and treat adolescent depression (De Jonge-Heesen et al., 2016).
