Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to examine the efficacy of telephone-administered cognitive-behavioral therapy T-CBT in treating major depression among veterans served by community-based outpatient clinics CBOCs in the Veterans Integrated Service Network VISN 21 which serves rural areas in Northern California
Detailed Description:
More that 20 of patients in primary care have depressive disorders While primary care is the principal venue for treatment for depression fewer than 25 of depressed patients receive adequate treatment for their depression These outcomes can be worse when there are barriers to treatment such as living in a rural area Several studies have found that given a choice about two-thirds of depressed primary care patients prefer psychotherapy or counseling over antidepressant medication
This is a controlled randomized trial in which subjects meeting criteria for major depressive disorder MDD from primary care settings in VISN 21 including CBOCs will be randomly assigned to one of two conditions 1 a 16-session manualized telephone administered cognitive behavioral therapy T-CBT delivered over 24 weeks or 2 a treatment-as-usual TAU condition Telephone-administered cognitive behavioral therapy T-CBT is an intervention aimed at improving coping skills and social functioning It is divided into two phases 1 an initial treatment phase consisting of 12 weekly sessions aimed at reducing symptoms of depression and 2 a booster phase in which 4 sessions are provided at increasingly greater intervals to target maintenance of treatment gains T-CBT administered by doctoral level psychologists will be compared to a treatment-as-usual TAU condition that controls for the natural course of depression during the course of treatment
