Cost-Effectiveness of a Web-Based Program for Residual Depressive Symptoms: Mindful Mood Balance.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Mindful Mood Balance (MMB) is an effective Web-based program for residual depressive symptoms that prevents relapse among patients with partial recovery from major depressive episodes. This cost-effectiveness analysis was conducted from the health plan perspective alongside a pragmatic randomized controlled trial of MMB.

Methods

Adults were recruited from behavioral health and primary care settings in a large integrated health system and randomly assigned to MMB plus usual depression care (MMB+UDC) or UDC. Patients had at least one prior major depressive episode; a current score of 5-9 on the Patient Health Questionnaire-9, indicating residual depressive symptoms; and Internet access. Program costs included recruitment, coaching, and MMB licensing. Center for Medic
