Phone psychotherapy and care management for patients on antidepressants

PubMed: "Compared usual primary care for depression with 2 intervention programs: telephone care management and telephone care management plus telephone psychotherapy. Treatment participation rates were 97% for telephone care management and 93% for telephone care management plus psychotherapy. For primary care patients beginning antidepressant treatment, a telephone program integrating care management and structured cognitive-behavioral psychotherapy can significantly improve satisfaction and clinical outcomes. These findings suggest a new public health model of psychotherapy for depression including active outreach and vigorous efforts to improve access to and motivation for treatment."
