Publication: Canadian Journal of Community Mental Health
29 January 2009

Abstract

The University of British Columbia (UBC) has partnered with community primary care providers to implement a shared care pilot project for the management of depression. The National College Health Assessment survey conducted at UBC in 2004 identified a significant gap in the management of depression. This finding highlighted a need to better integrate existing resources and strengthen the capacity of primary care providers to effectively recognize, assess, and treat depression. This article outlines the development and evaluation of a shared care collaborative approach to the primary care of depression in the UBC campus community.

Résumé

L'Université de la Colombie-Britannique (UBC) a collaboré avec des prestataires de soins primaires dans la communauté pour mettre en œuvre un projet pilote visant à contrôler la dépression. Données provenant du 2004 National College Health Assessment, prenant place à l'UBC, révèlent un manque associé au contrôle de la dépression. Ces données permettent d'identifier le besoin d'intégrer les ressources existantes et d'améliorer la capacité des prestataires de soins primaires de reconnaître, de mesurer et de traiter la dépression. Cet article trace les grandes lignes de l'élaboration et de l'évaluation d'une approche partagée axée sur la collaboration pour contrôler la dépression dans la communauté universitaire de l'UBC.
