Provider Interventions to Increase Uptake of Evidence-Based Treatment for Depression: A Systematic Review

Abstract

Over the past two decades, the Department of Defense (DoD) has invested unparalleled resources into developing effective treatments for military-related psychological health conditions. Systematic reviews are a key component in the knowledge translation process and function to translate research into evidence-based health care guidelines that promote optimal clinical care. Although a few government agencies, including the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), have established evidence synthesis centers, there is no similar center within the DoD that can synthesize research evidence on psychological health issues of interest. The Southern California Evidence-Based Practice Center, housed at the RAND Corporation, was awarded a three-year contract to synthesize research on psychological health interventions important to military populations. This document details a systematic review that was performed during year one of this three-year project. There view is of interest to military health policymakers and practitioners who oversee or implement provider interventions for the treatment of depression.
