This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This pilot study is exploring whether a personalized nutrition plan—tailored specifically for you—might help improve mood in teenagers with depression. Research suggests that what we eat can affect how we feel emotionally. The study will test whether a customized eating plan works better than standard healthy eating information.
While doctors know that diet quality can influence mood, there hasn't been much research testing whether a personalized eating plan can actually help teenagers with depression feel better. This pilot study is designed to see if this approach is worth studying more deeply.

If you're in the intervention group, you'll work with the research team to create a personalized eating plan based on your preferences and needs, along with support to help you follow it. The comparison group will receive Canada's food guide recommendations. Both you and a parent will likely participate, and you'll need internet access to be part of the study. The exact duration and number of visits aren't specified in this summary, so you'd want to ask the research team for those details.
