Research abstract:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Comorbid depression is common in adolescents with chronic illness. We aimed to design and test a linguistic coding scheme<\/a> for identifying depression in adolescents with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome\/Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (CFS\/ME), by exploring features of e-consultations within online cognitive behavioural therapy treatment.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>E-consultations of 16 adolescents (aged 11 – 17) receiving FITNET-NHS<\/a> treatment in a national randomised controlled trial were examined. A theoretically-driven linguistic coding scheme was developed and used to categorise comorbid depression in e-consultations using computerised content analysis.<\/p>\n

Linguistic coding scheme categorisation was subsequently compared to classification of depression using the Revised Children’s Anxiety and Depression Scale<\/a> (RCADS) published cut-offs (t-scores \u2265 65, \u2265 70). Extra linguistic elements identified deductively and inductively were compared with self-reported depressive symptoms after unblinding.<\/p>\n

The linguistic coding scheme categorised three (19%) of our sample consistently with self-report assessment. Of all 12 identified linguistic features, differences in language use by categorisation of self-report assessment were found for ‘past-focus’ words (mean rank frequencies: 1.50 for no depression, 5.50 for possible depression, and 10.70 for probable depression; p < .05) and ‘discrepancy’ words (mean rank frequencies: 16.00 for no depression, 11.20 for possible depression, and 6.40 for probable depression; p < .05).<\/p>\n

The linguistic coding profile developed as a potential tool to support clinicians in identifying comorbid depression in e-consultations showed poor value in this sample of adolescents with CFS\/ME. Some promising linguistic features were identified, warranting further research with larger samples.<\/p>\n
