Stepped Care
Stepped care is a model of treatment delivery in which patients are first provided a low-intensity treatment, are systematically monitored for progress and are stepped up to more intensive treatments if they fail to show adequate improvement. In this project, the stepped care program initiated treatment for depression with ThinkFeelDo, our web-based digital mental health treatment, and stepped up those who did not meet improvement criteria to telephone administered cognitive behavioral therapy (tCBT). This trial found that stepped care was approximately half as costly to deliver but no less effective than tCBT.
