Randomized Controlled Trial of Screening for Depression in Cardiac Outpatients
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Collaborative Care for Depression and Coronary Heart Disease. Completed, enrolled 201 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This study compares the effects of depression screening and case management to usual care in cardiology outpatients with documented evidence of coronary heart disease. Despite strong evidence that depression is a risk factor for cardiac events, there is insufficient evidence to support the use of depression screening in cardiac patients.
