Statement of Need:
Depression is a common, debilitating disorder affecting 12.8% of adolescents and 6.7% of adults in the United States. Routine depression screening is critical to ensure opportunities are not missed to provide patient treatment.

The role of primary care in screening, detection, and treatment of depression has grown, becoming the point-of-care where most people seek treatment. A recent study of five health care systems was published representing data from 241,251 adults newly diagnosed with depression in primary care settings. Efforts to improve depression outcomes in primary care have focused on improved screening, but in the study population, only 11% of patients had a PHQ-9 score measured and recorded on the index date of diagnosis, demonstrating a significant gap in the utilization of screening tools.

In part one of this free CME Outfitters Snack series, expert faculty present an engaging, focused video discussion using the ArchViewer platform to discuss improved screening and use of measurement-based care in patients with depression.
