The MacArthur Foundation Initiative on Depression and Primary Care has
developed a range of resources to help primary care clinicians recognize and
manage depression. The Tool Kit collects, in one place, a variety of easy to
use instruments and information to assist clinicians and patients with the
various steps in the process of care for depression recognition and treatment.
The Tool Kit was designed as a stand-alone package that could be used by any
interested clinician. A series of manuals take a more didactic approach in preparing clinicians, supportive mental health professionals, and telephone support staff.
The materials for Re-Engineering Practices are designed to be used as part of
an overall program for re-engineering a primary care practice to manage
depression as a chronic disease. The material in this section is for the
clinicians in a practice (e.g. family physician, general internist, nurse
practitioner, physician's assistant), care managers, and office staff.
