Background:

A range of models exist for the delivery of depression services in primary care and the community. The efficacy of the following approaches was assessed: passive education campaigns, telephone and Internet interventions, schools programs, general practice (education, care management, enhanced care, self-help in practice) and community programs linked to general practice.

Method:

Systematic review.

Results:

There is evidence for the effectiveness of schools programs, Internet and telephone interventions, care management, enhanced care and some community programs. Evidence is weaker or inconclusive for passive education, education directed at GPs, pharmacist interventions and bulletin boards.
