Collaborative care score
Table 1 shows an overview of the CCC of all studies. Of the 35 studies,
33 interventions met at least 1 criterion and most studies met 2
criteria. A multi-professional approach to patientcare was the most
scored and interprofessional communication was the least scored
criterion. Of the 35 studies, 6 studies met all CCC. The studies with
high CCS scores of 3 or 4 (n=13) were all evidence-based interventions
(CBT, IPT, multicomponent, psychoeducation) provided by multiple
professionals to depressive women. All interventions with a score of 4
were provided to women with additional psychosocial risk factors.
Whereas the CCS 3 studies provided follow-up sessions after treatment
only, the CCS 4 studies provided more often follow-up sessions during
treatment. Also, more professionals were involved in the CCS 4 studies
and interprofessional communication took place. Of the 29
multi-professional interventions, 25 interventions were provided by a
gynaecologist/midwife and a mental health therapist. The other 4
interventions were provided by a team of 3 to 6 different professionals.
