NCT00134576

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to design, refine, and test for the effectiveness of a computer-based telephone system (Telephone-Linked Communications for Detection of Mental Health Disorders in the Workplace; TLC-Detect) that will screen workers for mental health distress; educate them about seeking treatment; and follow up with them over a 6 month period.
