- Registration Number
- NCT06915207
- Lead Sponsor
- University of Saskatchewan
- Brief Summary
The goal of this quasi-experimental study is to learn if integrative medical care works to treat depression in adults and compare it to usual medical care. The main question it aims to answer is to find out whether integrative medical care is equal or better to usual medical care in treating depressed adults over one year.
Participants attended five data collection visits which occurred at baseline, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months. At each visit, they completed questionnaires and had a small blood sample drawn. They were also asked to keep a diary of their symptoms and what they did between visits. They brought a calendar summary with a saliva sample at visits 2 to 5.
