a
Higher scores on MÅDRS and PRIME-MD indicate more severe depression.
b
Baseline scores were not corrected for propensities.
c
Statistically significantly different from the usual care group. MÅDRS = Montgomery Åsberg Depression Rating Scale. PRIME-MD = Primary Care Evaluation of Mental Disorders.
