Collaborative Health Literate Depression Care Among Predominantly Hispanic Patients With Coronary Heart Disease in Safety Net Care

Demographic, clinical and psychosocial factors identify a high-risk group for depression screening among predominantly Hispanic patients with Type 2 diabetes in safety net care

“…We hypothesize that after controlling for all the other demographic and clinical risk factors found to be statistically significant associated with depression jointly, the number of psychosocial stressor domains is significantly associated with increased risk of depression based on our previous studies of depression and diabetes, cancer and heart disease [27][28][29].…”

Self-Management of Heart Disease in Older Adults

“…Co-morbidity with depression may influence treatment of the chronic heart disease due to interactions in medications and management of the disease. It is important to have multidisciplinary treatment teams that include physicians, nurses, social workers, and community health workers to address issues of socio-cultural health literacy (Caughey, Roughead, Shakib, Vitry, & Gilbert, 2011; Ell, Oh, Lee, Guterman, 2014). Finally, given that one-third of the sample of elderly below the county threshold, future studies should take into consideration the specific needs of low-income patients.…”

Collaborative Care for Depression among Patients with Limited English Proficiency: a Systematic Review

“…Table 1 summarizes the basic characteristics of the included studies. Fifteen articles, [35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49] representing nine studies with distinct patient populations (five randomized controlled trials, three cohort studies, and one case-control study), met the study criteria and are included in this review (see Fig. 1 for PRISMA flow diagram).…”

“…The non-RCTs did not have a usual care control group. [46][47][48] Depression measures were generally well described. All studies employed the same widely used and validated screening instrument, the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), to determine baseline depression diagnosis.…”

“…44,50 Other studies did not specify whether they used validated translations or translated their own instruments. [35][36][37][38][39][40][41]43,[45][46][47][48][49] All studies adequately described the interventions and the control conditions (if present in non-RCTs; Bcomparability^criteria in Table 3). Spanish-speaking study recruiters Relative to patients in the usual care group, patients in the intervention group were significantly more likely to have ≥50% improvement in PHQ-9 score (OR 4.5, 95% CI 0.18-5.12).…”
