As an example of the brief treatment outcome impact, the results for depression suggest that the prevalence of depression was about 7% lower among treated cases at follow-up compared to matched untreated cases. Likewise, treated cases had lower mean depression symptom scores by about 2 points compared to matched untreated cases.
