Brief Summary:
Previous research by Mental Health Research Network (MHRN) investigators and others demonstrates that online messaging and other telehealth technologies can effectively and efficiently address premature discontinuation of depression treatment. These interventions, however, have focused on adherence after treatment initiation and have been tested primarily in non-Hispanic white populations. Less is known about the acceptability and effectiveness of different communication modalities (online messaging, mailed letters, telephone) among racial and ethnic minority populations. Implementation of electronic-Health (eHealth) technologies must take care not to exacerbate health disparities.
This clinical trial involves a pilot trial to evaluate a population-based outreach program to improve rates of depression treatment initiation among traditionally underserved racial and ethnic groups. This pilot work intends to inform a subsequent full-scale pragmatic trial to examine impact on health disparities.
