Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Depression

    To measure changes in the Quick Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology (QIDS) over time. The QIDS is made up of 16 items and has a possible range of scores of 0 to 27. Higher scores represent worse outcomes.

    Baseline, midtreatment, end of treatment, 3 month post treatment, and 6 month post-treatment follow-up

  • Cost-Effectiveness

    Measure the ratio of the difference in costs and difference in effectiveness between the two groups, Stepped care minus Telephone Cognitive Behavior Therapy. Below are reported individual cost means and standard deviations for therapist costs during study.
