NIMH Treatment of Depression Collaborative Research Program Public Use Data TapeDocumentation. Volume 2. Study Forms

摘要

The research program is a multi-site coordinated study of the effectiveness of two forms of brief (16 weeks) psychotherapy for the treatment of non-psychotic, non-bipolar depressed outpatients. Two hundred fifty patients at three research sites were randomly assigned to four treatment conditions: cognitive behavior therapy, interpersonal therapy, imipramine plus clinical management (a reference treatment condition), or placebo plus clinical management (a control condition). Two hundred thirty-nine patients entered treatment and 162 completed treatment (at least 15 weeks and 12 sessions). Patients were evaluated pre-treatment and at 4, 8, 12 weeks, termination, and 6, 12, and 18-months follow up. Included in the second release are all outcome phase data. These data include pre-treatment and termination scores on measures of depression, general functioning, and mode-specific functioning. Relevant sociodemographic, clinical and personality variables are also included.
