Effectiveness of an Integrated Care Pathway for Depression: Cluster Randomized Controlled Trial
Sponsor: Centre for Addiction and Mental Health
Summary
This a stepped wedged cluster RCT with two intervention arms--Treatment As Usual (TAU) and an Integrated Care Pathway (ICP). Eligible participants are between the ages of 13 and 18, who present to community mental health agencies with depressive symptoms as the primary concern. The primary objective is to establish the clinical effectiveness of the ICP intervention in the community setting relative to TAU, with respect to reducing evaluator-rated depressive symptoms. The secondary objectives are to explore changes in clinician-rated function and caregiver-rated symptoms for youth receiving the ICP intervention relative to TAU. The third objective is to explore the implementation effectiveness of the ICP intervention, namely investigating: feasibility, fidelity, cost and acceptability.
