The present findings support the use of behavioral activation as an effective treatment for patients with MDD in a primary care setting. These findings suggest that new integrated primary care settings should incorporate behavioral activation to offer brief, evidence-based treatments that provide reliable symptom reductions in addition to possible reductions in treatment needs and better management of related physical health conditions.

The project success reflects strong leadership, a partnership of committed staff, effective training, and an organizational culture exemplifying excellence in Veteran services and innovation.
