Name
Depression Outcomes Measurement: It's Time to Change the Perspective
Session Type
Breakout Session
Description
Performance measurement of depression outcomes has been long focused on episode-based rather than population-inclusive measurement. Existing PHQ-9-based measure for depression response and remission faces feasibility difficulties with restrictive follow-up windows and inclusion requirements. Measurement with a population health perspective, consistent with other chronic illnesses such as diabetes and hypertension, would improve incentives for depression measurement and provide more representative data on depression treatment outcomes.
