title: A pilot for improving depression care on college campuses: results of the College Breakthrough Series-Depression (CBS-D) project.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To implement a pilot quality improvement project for depression identification and treatment in college health.
  
  
  METHODS
  Eight college health center teams composed primarily of primary care and counseling service directors and clinicians.
  
  
  METHODS
  Chronic (Collaborative) Care Model (CCM) used with standardized screening to identify, treat, and track depressed students for 12 weeks to monitor predetermined process and clinical outcomes.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Of all students receiving primary medical care services between January 2007 and May 2008, 69% (n = 71,908) were screened for depression. A total of 801 depressed students were treated and tracked; most predetermined treatment process and clinical outcome targets were achieved.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The CCM for depression shows promise for improving depression identification and care for college students.
