description The coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic has exacerbated and increased the prevalence of depression in adolescents. There is significant evidence supporting best practices for treating adolescent depression; yet, many adolescents remain unidentified or untreated by their primary care provider. For this quality improvement initiative, the Guidelines for Adolescent Depression in Primary Care (GLAD-PC) were implemented in a primary care setting. After GLAD-PC implementation, 90% of participants identified as having depression received an intervention compared with 60% of patients in the baseline group. The results showed that implementing GLAD-PC led to a significant increase in the treatment of adolescent depression in primary care.
