The present study set out to estimate the prevalence of bereavement experiences in adolescents, the association between these experiences and depressive symptoms and the attitudes of bereaved young people to professional interventions. The study was based on 1746 adolescents aged between 11 and 16 years from two secondary schools in Northern England. Questionnaire measures of bereavement experiences and depressive symptoms were completed by the adolescents in the classroom. One thousand three hundred and fifty-five (77.6%) reported that at least one of their first-or second-degree relatives or close friends had died. These losses were associated with increased levels of depressive symptoms in comparison with the loss of other relatives or pets. The impact of the loss of someone close depended to an important extent on the young person's perception of how the loss had changed their lives. Most adolescents did not feel the need for professional services. Those who did use these services had higher levels of depressive symptoms, suggesting that service use was likely to have been appropriate.
