WiserAD: The Effect of a Structured Online Intervention on Antidepressant Deprescribing in Primary Care
Sponsor: University of Melbourne
Summary
The use of antidepressants (ADs) is increasing globally, including within Australia, which has one of the highest rates of AD prescribing. Despite clear benefits for many people, there is reason to believe that the ongoing use of these medications is often not properly monitored or stopped (deprescribed) when a person returns to better Mental health. This trial sets out to test how well an online support tool (WiserAD) can help patients and their general practitioner to manage the careful and appropriate reducing and stopping of antidepressants, in primary care patients.
Official title: WiserAD: A Randomised Trial of a Structured Online Intervention to Promote and Support Antidepressant Deprescribing in Primary Care.
