What is being tested?
The study is examining the 'Depression CAREPATH' initiative against usual care practices. The CAREPATH aims to improve how nurses help manage depression treatment over time with patient and doctor collaboration. Patient progress will be tracked at several intervals up to one year.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves care management rather than medication, side effects are not typical as with drug trials. However, there may be emotional or psychological impacts from discussing depressive symptoms regularly.
