Depression in Primary Care aims to provide visitors to our web site with a variety of resources designed to educate and inform:
- In The Journals:
Each month we review numerous journals and other publications and produce In The Journals, a comprehensive summary that highlights the most recent literature relevant to our program’s themes. In The Journals also includes publications emanating from this program by the National Program Office staff and consultants and our grantees.
- News You Can Use:
We have produced educational handouts in a Frequently Asked Questions format that focus on a variety of issues of interest to consumers, providers, and other stakeholders. Each News You Can Use handout offers answers to commonly asked questions, suggestions for additional reading, and links to web sites offering more information on the topic. We currently offer News You Can Use pieces for the following topics:
Depression Screening
Managing Minor Depression
Patient Self-Management
- Web Links To Other Programs:
Access a list of web links to other programs dedicated to improving the quality of care.
- Tool Kits:
We have assembled a comprehensive list of tool kits for identifying and managing the treatment of depression that have been developed by innovators in the field. You can click on Tool Kits in the right margin of this Resources page to access either a list of the tool kits with a description of their respective components or a one-page at-a-glance summary of the tool kits and contact information for each program.
- List Serv:
You are invited to join the program’s list serv and adding to the ongoing discussions about how people and programs are meeting today’s challenges in health care. Simply send an email to our deputy director, Jeanie Knox Houtsinger, at knoxjv@upmc.edu and she will add you to the distribution list and provide you with basis instructions for participating in this informative exchange.
