Comparative Effectiveness Research for Eliminating Disparities
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Depression
In brief
Our study tested the effectiveness of a combined cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and care manager intervention offered either by telephone or face-to-face with depressed Latinos identified in primary care. Eligible patients were randomized after baseline to one of three conditions; 1) ECLA-T (telephone) intervention, 2) ECLA-F (face to face) intervention, and 3) usual care. Usual care was considered care as usual in the participating clinic for a patient screening or depression. The ECLA-T intervention was based on a telephone-plus-care-management intervention that has been shown to be effective in decreasing depressive symptoms and increasing client satisfaction and self-perceived global improvement, as compared to usual care in depressed patients in primary care settings.
