Impact of Medicare annual wellness visits on uptake of depression screening.
This study assessed whether patients with an initial annual wellness visit (AWV) were more likely to be screened for depression than those with a primary care visit. Fifteen percent of patients with non-AWVs and 10 percent of patients with AWVs received depression screening. After accounting for clustering, there was no statistically significant difference in depression screening by visit type.

Parents' role in adolescent depression care: primary care provider perspectives.
This study aimed to understand how primary care providers (PCPs) perceive barriers to adolescent depression care in order to inform strategies to increase treatment engagement. PCPs perceived that parental unwillingness to accept the depression diagnosis, family dysfunction, and trauma were common barriers. PCPs contrasted this with examples of good family support they believed would enable adolescents to attend follow-up appointments and have a “life coach” at home.

Mental health service use for adult patients with co-occurring depression and physical chronic health care needs, 2007-2010.
This study examines (1) whether the presence of chronic physical conditions is associated with mental health service use for individuals with depression who visit a primary care physician, and (2) whether race modifies this relationship. It found that most patient office visits (70 percent) where a depression diagnosis was recorded also had co-occurring chronic physical conditions recorded.
