Source: CMHS/SAMHSA Tool Box: "HIV-Related Mental Health Interventions Delivered Through Telephone & Internet Technology" Greater retention in care appears to be a hallmark of telephone-administered psychotherapy, which was found to produce significant reductions in depressive symptoms in a recent meta-analysis. This tool box examines a line of telephone-based intervention research that has focused on the treatment of depressive symptoms in men and women living with HIV, with particular emphasis on extending services to those who are living with HIV in rural America. The relative merits of cognitive-behavioral and interpersonal psychotherapy, and their effectiveness when administered by telephone to this population, are discussed. The tool box concludes with research on the use of Internet technology both to evaluate depressive symptoms and to automatically generate tailored self-care management strategies for those who are living with HIV, an exciting development that has "the potential . . . to reframe the traditional patient-provider relationship." |
