Effectiveness Study of a Stepped Care Depression Algorithm for Patients With Cancer
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating ADAPt-C intervention for Major Depression and Dysthymia. Completed, enrolled 472 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The ADAPt-C collaborative depression care model is designed to: improve depression symptom reduction in the intervention group over the modestly enhanced usual care group of low-income, predominantly Hispanic, patients with cancer who are receiving care in an urban public sector care system; and to improve quality of life outcomes among intervention patients over enhanced usual care.
