Results: The 26 participants' ages ranged from 62 to 87 years (mean = 72 years). For type construction, we performed a contrasting case comparison, regarding inductive and deductive categories of the intervention utilization and the symptom development. We analyzed the interviews using a qualitative type-building content analysis. Methods: Of 64 patients from the intervention group, we carried out problem-centered interviews with 26 patients from the intervention group. The aim of this study is to identify and describe the different types of utilization and of treatment response to understand what constitutes an effective intervention.
Nevertheless, three-quarters did not respond with a remission. The low-threshold intervention was more successful than TAU.
Twenty-six percent of the intervention group responds with a remission of depressive symptoms compared with 11% who received treatment as usual (TAU). Care managers offered a complex stepped-care intervention of monitoring, psychoeducation, and behavioral activation techniques. To improve treatment, the collaborative care approach GermanIMPACT was evaluated in a cluster-randomized controlled trial. Most common are time pressure in primary care and latency for specialized therapeutic care.
