Abstract: Examined the predictive validity of urban first-graders' self-reports of depressed mood and feelings with respect to later psychopathology and adaptive functioning. Found that subjects' self-reports of depressed mood predicted later academic functioning, the need for and use of mental health services, suicidal ideation, and major depressive disorder diagnosis by age 14.
