Homecare Agency-Randomized Trial of Web Implementation Strategy for Depression

Status unconfirmed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Depression

In brief

To identify effective implementation strategies that can efficiently promote the use of evidence-based practices (EBP) across a large number of geographically dispersed, independent Home Health Agencies (HHAs). This study will use an agency-randomized design to test the effectiveness of a web-based implementation strategy (MHTraining-Net) on the use of an evidence-based practice for geriatric depression by home healthcare agencies. The EBP is known as the Depression CARE for PATients at Home (CAREPATH) Intervention. The effectiveness of MHTraining-Net will be measured by an agency's adherence to the Depression CAREPATH protocol with its depressed patients and changes in their patients' depressive symptoms over the episode of care.
