Abstract
OBJECTIVE: Assessment of patients' preferences regarding depression treatment using a ranking approach. METHODS: 641 primary care patients (mean age 43.9 years) ranked their primary preference for depression treatment out of 9 options. Logistic Regression analyses were used to determine factors associated with the most prioritized treatment options. RESULTS: The most frequently prioritized treatment options were psychotherapy (30 %), combination treatment of psychotherapy and drug treatment (18.4 %) and sole drug treatment (15.4 %). 12.3 % of women prioritized alternative therapy options. CONCLUSION: Patients with depression report individually different treatment preferences. These findings underline the importance of elucidating patients' preferences within a shared decision making process as recommended by treatment guidelines. There is a need of evidence-based information on the role of alternative therapies in the context of depression treatment. © Georg Thieme Verlag KG Stuttgart · New York.
