Secondary outcomes included response (\u226530% reduction in CDRS-R scores), remission (CDRS-R score \u226428), self-rated depression, quality of life, suicidality, and safety.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Of 257 randomized participants (mean [SD] age, 15.7 [1.7] years; 188 [73.2%] female; mean [SD] CDRS-R score, 58.5 [8.8]), 129 received \u03c9-3 supplements and 128 received placebo. The mean (SD) CDRS-R scores decreased similarly in both groups: at 12 weeks, 45.93 (11.98) vs 46.08 (12.99); at 36 weeks, 36.50 (13.12) vs 36.83 (15.46). The adjusted mean difference in CDRS-R scores was 0.77 (95% CI, \u22121.39 to 2.93;\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u2009.49) points.

Secondary measures and suicidality improved without between-group differences. EPA plus DHA levels expressed by the \u03c9-3 index rose by a mean (SD) of 4.33% (1.54%) and 4.88% (2.38%) at 12 and 36 weeks, respectively, in the \u03c9-3 arm, confirming adherence. A total of 76 serious adverse events were reported in 97 participants, with 31 occurring in the placebo arm and 45 in the \u03c9-3 arm. These included 28 suicide attempts, but no deaths or permanent disabilities.
