Description
Summary:Randomised controlled trial to evaluate the effectiveness of collaborativecare in a Dutch occupational healthcare setting: 126 workers on sick leavewith major depressive disorder were randomised to usual care(n = 61) or collaborative care (n =65). After 3 months, collaborative care was more effective on the primaryoutcome measure of treatment response (i.e. reduction in symptoms of ≥50%)on the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9). However, the groups did notdiffer on the PHQ-9 as a continuous outcome measure. Implications of theseresults are discussed.
