“…There is no evidence that one is differentially effective, and both have some relapse-prevention effects (Elkin et al 1989. Six major studies have found CBT comparable in efficacy to pharmacotherapy (Blackburn et al 1981, DiMascio et al 1979, Hersen et al 1984, Hollon et al 1992, Murphy et al 1984, Rush et al 1977; none of the studies included analyzable subsamples of ethnic minorities. Finally, in the National Institute of Mental Health Treatment of Depression Collaborative Research Project (Elkin et al 1989), an extremely important study documenting the effectiveness of CBT and IPT as compared with medications, only 11% of the participants were ethnic minorities, and there was no power to examine ethnic responses to care.…”

“…[23,24] There are even a few studies found that psychological treatment alone is more effective than combined treatment. [25,26] Because it can be expected that the difference between psychological and combined treatments are small, large sample sizes are required to find significant differences. When small effect sizes are expected in individual studies, meta-analytical techniques can be used to integrate the results of individual studies and to increase the statistical power.…”

Background: A large number of studies have shown that psychological treatments have significant effects on depression. Although several studies have examined the relative effects of psychological and combined treatments, this has not been studied satisfactorily in recent statistical meta-analyses. Method: We conducted a meta-analysis of randomized studies in which a psychological treatment was compared to a combined treatment consisting of the same psychological treatment with a pharmacological therapy. For each of these studies we calculated the effect size indicating the difference between the psychological and the combined treatment. Results: All inclusion criteria were met by 18 studies, with a total of 1,838 subjects. The mean effect size indicating the difference between psychological and combined treatment was 0.35 (95% CI: 0.24$0.45; Po0.001), with low heterogeneity. Subgroup analyses indicated that the difference between psychological and combined treatments was significantly smaller in studies in which cognitive behavior therapy was examined. We also found a trend (Po0.1) indicating that the difference between psychological and combined treatment was somewhat larger in studies aimed at specific populations (older adults, chronic depression, HIV patients) than in studies with adults, and in studies in which Trycyclic antidepressants or SSRIs were examined, compared to studies in which a medication protocol or another antidepressant was used. At follow-up, no difference between psychological and combined treatments was found. Conclusion: We conclude that combined treatment is more effective than psychological treatment alone. However, it is not clear whether this difference is relevant from a clinical perspective. Depression and Anxiety 26:279-288, 2009.

“…Six additional studies have compared psychotherapy with pharmacotherapy for treatment of depression. One of these reports did not mention ethnic or racial characteristics of participants ( Blackburn, Bishop, Glen, Whalley, & Christie, 1981 ); one reported that 17% of the participants were African American ( Murphy, Simons, Wetzel, & Lustman, 1984 ); and four reported that 10% or less of the participants were not White, with no reference to Latinos ( DiMascio et al, 1979 ;Hersen, Bellack, Himmelhoch, & Thase, 1984 ;Hollon et al, 1992 ;and Rush, Beck, Kovacs, & Hollon, 1977 ). We are aware of only one psychotherapy outcome study examining treatment of depression that included a Spanish-speaking sample ( Comas-Diaz, 1981a, 1981b .…”

This article offers suggestions for recruiting and retaining low-income Latinos in treatment studies. Because Latinos underuse traditional mental health services, places such as medical centers or churches with large Latino constituents are suggested as useful alternative sources. To keep Latinos in research protocols, providing culturally sensitive treatments are necessary. Culturally sensitive treatments should incorporate families as part of recruitment efforts, particularly older men in the family. In addition, showing respect is an important aspect of traditional Latino culture that includes using formal titles and taking time to listen carefully. Finally, traditional Latinos tend to like interactions with others that are more warm and personal than is generally part of a research atmosphere.Correspondence may be addressed to Jeanne Miranda,
