Partners in Care was a real-world trial conducted from 1995 to 2000 to determine whether diverse primary care practices can implement previously tested, effective models of care for depression. A collaborative effort of researchers and clinicians at many institutions, the study involved more than 27,000 patients, 125 providers, and 46 primary care clinics within six nonacademic managed care practices in various locations across the United States.
The full Partners in Care package included introductory materials, training materials, forms and worksheets, materials for primary care physicians and nurses, psychotherapist materials, and materials for patients.
