Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study
Telephone-Delivered Stepped Collaborative Care for Treating Anxiety in Primary Care: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
Collaborative care for depression is more effective in improving treatment outcomes than primary care physicians' (PCPs) usual care (UC). However, few trials of collaborative care have targeted anxiety. ⋯ Telephone-delivered, centralized, stepped CC improves mental HRQoL, anxiety and mood symptoms. These improvements were durable and particularly evident among those most anxious at baseline, and among African-Americans and men.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Patient and Partner Feedback Reports to Improve Statin Medication Adherence: A Randomized Control Trial.
Simple nudges such as reminders and feedback reports to either a patient or a partner may facilitate improved medication adherence. ⋯ Daily alarms combined with individual or partner feedback reports improved statin medication adherence. While neither an individual feedback nor partner feedback strategy created a sustainable medication adherence habit, the intervention itself is relatively easy to implement and low cost.
