【 摘 要 】

Introduction: National guidelines recommend primary care providers (PCPs) screen patients for depression with a standardized tool and address positive screenings. However, depression prevalence is lower in Latinos (8% to 15%, with Spanish speakers at 8%) than non-Latino whites (22%). As a result of these prevalence differences, PCPs may use ethnicity and language of the patient to determine depression screening behaviors. This study examined standard of care (SoC) depression treatment recommendations by ethnicity and language for patients who screened positive for major depression during a medical visit.
