  Abstract: Objective: To explore the intergenerational transmission of depression in adolescents from the perspective of family-centered health promotion, and to provide theoretical foundations and policy recommendations. Methods: Based on the CFPS 2018 database, OLS models and Shapley value decomposition were used to analyze the effects of parental depression levels on adolescent depression levels and calculate the relative contributions. Mediation and moderating effect analysis were used to test the impact mechanisms of daily parental care and family structure in the intergenerational transmission of depression. Results: Depression levels among parents were significantly associated with depression levels among adolescents, and the parent-child system had the highest relative contribution to adolescent depression levels. Meanwhile, adolescent depression levels can be affected by parental depression through adolescent’s perceived parental concerns, and parental involvement in adolescent’s education and daily life could weaken the impact of parental depression on adolescent depression. Furthermore, the effects of intergenerational transmission of depression are more pronounced in single-parent families than in dual-parent families. Conclusions: The levels of depression in adolescents are influenced by their parent’s depression levels and the shared family environment. Therefore, it is recommended that policymakers and health practitioners should pay attention to the construction of family mental health. In addition, they should promote synergy between adolescent mental health promotion and family education policies.
