Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
A randomized trial to improve the quality of treatment for panic and generalized anxiety disorders in primary care.
Panic disorder and generalized anxiety disorder are prevalent in primary care, associated with poor functional outcomes, and are often unrecognized and ineffectively treated by primary care physicians. ⋯ Telephone-based collaborative care for panic disorder and generalized anxiety disorder is more effective than usual care at improving anxiety symptoms, health-related quality of life, and work-related outcomes.
