Abstract in brief
- The study analyzed electronic health records of over 240,000 adults newly diagnosed with depression in primary care settings between 2010 and 2013, focusing on who started treatment and what type they chose (medication or psychotherapy).
- Only about 35.7% of patients initiated treatment within 90 days, with minority groups (Asian, Black, Hispanic) and older adults (60+) being significantly less likely to start treatment compared to white and younger patients.
- Depression severity influenced treatment initiation, but overall, initiation rates remained relatively low, and minority patients more often received psychotherapy rather than medication, highlighting disparities in depression care access and treatment choices.]
