Depression - Annual Evidence Update 6 October 2008
Depression (Mental Health Specialist Library)
http://www.library.nhs.uk/mentalhealth
The Mental Health Specialist Library has searched the four major databases (Cinahl, Embase, Medline and PsycInfo) for the latest evidence on depression published between January 2007 and the end of August 2008. This search retrieved over 2,000 hits (information overload for all but the most hardcore evidence lovers!).
We have sifted the evidence and just retained the high quality research (guidelines, systematic reviews), which we've organised into categories and presented so that you can quickly and easily see what's new, reliable and relevant to you.
The Update also features an audio podcast of interviews with leading experts in the field and will cover the following topics:
1. Incidence and Prevalence
2. Diagnosis
3. Treatment
4. Populations
The National Library for Health (NLH) Specialist Libraries have been developed to identify and meet the information needs of particular communities of practice. They are web-based collections containing clinical and non-clinical information on the major health priority areas. Each NLH Specialist Library identifies and provides access to quality assessed information of relevance to the community that it serves. An aspect of this involves the production of Annual Evidence Updates, which aim to highlight the best current evidence for selected healthcare topics. Annual Evidence Updates consist of the good quality evidence from a search of research evidence on a particular topic over a 12 month period, plus user-friendly summaries written by relevant experts, and links to guidelines, secondary research and primary research, if applicable. All information included in Annual Evidence Updates has been subject to rigorous selection criteria.
