Summary

The purpose of this study is to pilot test an adapted collaborative care model for homeless mothers with depression.

Detailed description

Homeless mothers are more vulnerable to Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) than comparable groups of impoverished mothers, with rates in recent community studies approaching 50%. Even though primary care offers an ideal venue to identify and manage depression among women who commonly fail to receive needed mental health services, rigorously tested primary care-based treatment strategies that address the needs of homeless mothers with depression are lacking. This study reports results on a pilot test and feasibility findings of a new intervention, the Integrated Care Model for Homeless Mothers (ICMHM), adapted from the collaborative care model for depression (CCM) to address unique aspects of care for homeless mothers who screened positive for depression during a shelter-based primary care visit.
