The Integrated DEpression CAre (IDECA) Programme is a multi-faceted intervention strategy aiming to improve guideline adherence and shared care practices for depression management in both providers and patients, as measured through a set of process and clinical outcome indicators (primary outcome measure).
Eligibility

- presenting to the general practitioner's office
- with depressive symtomatology
Exclusion Criteria1

Interventions
The intervention will be modelled based on the most frequently reported patient, family physician and specialist barriers in depression management. In this project, multiple interventions aiming to tackle these barriers will be set up, with the WHO Framework on Integrated People-Centred Health Services (IPCHS) serving as conceptual backbone to the study (Table 1). The IPCHS distinguishes five interdependent strategies supporting a shift in healthcare delivery, management and funding towards universal health coverage. These strategies are: 1. empowering and engaging people and communities; 2. strengthening governance and accountability; 3. reorienting the model of care; 4. coordinating services within and across sectors; 5. creating an enabling environment.
