Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The proposed study seeks to establish the feasibility of universal screening for depression in an adult primary care safety net setting, measure the effectiveness of a culturally appropriate depression education intervention to reduce stigma and increase uptake in depression treatment among Hispanics, and implement a Measurement-Based Integrated Care (MBIC) model with collaborative, multi-disciplinary treatment and culturally tailored care management strategies.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Specific Aim 1: Examine the specific effects of a Depression Education Fotonovela (DEF) to increase knowledge of depression, reduce stigma and increase engagement in depression treatment among Hispanic patients.

Specific Aim 2: Evaluate the impact of Measurement-Based Integrated Care (MBIC) for the treatment of depression in one community-based Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHC) in North Texas whose patient population is majority Hispanic.

Specific Aim 3: Examine the feasibility of universal screening and accurate detection of depression among adult primary care patients utilizing innovative iPad Depression Screening technology.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

MBIC + DEF

Measurement-Based Integrated Care with Depression Education Fotonovela

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Measurement-Based Integrated Care

Intervention Type OTHER

Measurement-Based Integrated Care (MBIC) synthesizes the science of integrated health care and incorporates the strategies of measurement-based care. concept of MBIC for the treatment of depression includes: systematic assessment of symptoms, antidepressant treatment side effects and medication adherence and incorporation of a Depression Care Manager (DCM) to track patients and keep them engaged in care using behavioral interventions

Depression Education Fotonovela

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Depression education that uses a unique, culturally adapted depression fotonovela titled "Secret Feelings" developed by Cabassa, Molina and Baron (2012). The fotonovela is a popular comic-book style pamphlet that portrays a dramatic story using photographs and dialogue bubbles, which has become an effective tool for engaging Hispanic audiences and increasing knowledge about specific health issues
