NCT ID: NCT01879111 Completed - Hypertension Clinical Trials

Increasing the Efficiency of Depression-screening Using Patient-targeted Feedback

DEPSCREEN-INFO
Start date: October 2011
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Out-patients with coronary heart disease or hypertension will fill out a depression screening questionnaire while waiting in a cardiac clinic. Using a randomised-controlled study design half of the patients will receive a patient-targeted written screening feedback. This feedback contains information about depression in general, depression-severity adapted treatment guidelines and contact-information for treatment. Patients in the control group receive no direct screening-feedback but their cardiologist will be informed about the screening result. All patients with a positive screening-result will be contacted after one month and six months and asked for symptoms of depression, and their use of health care. The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficiency of this minimal intervention on the course of depressive symptom in patients with known coronary heart disease or hypertension.
