Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
This 24-week study will enroll depressed Chinese Americans. Potential participants will be interviewed in primary care clinics to screen for depression. Once enrolled, all participants will attend a consultation with a psychiatrist trained in cultural sensitivity to introduce the concept and treatment of depression. Participants will then be randomly assigned to either CSCT or standard care. Both groups of participants will receive regular care from their primary care provider, but the CSCT group will also meet with a bilingual and bicultural care manager to learn how to fully manage their depression. Outcome measurements will include symptoms of depression; adherence to appointments with primary care providers; adherence to medication treatment; and adverse events. All measurements will be assessed during follow-up phone calls at Weeks 2, 6, 10, 14, 18, 22, and 24.
