Objective:
We analyzed programs managed by the ten biggest social health insurance companies in Germany that aim at early detection, prevention, and promotion of health in depression.
Methods:
We conducted interviews with the responsible managers and studied relevant web sites.
Results:
The content of these programs ranges from internet-based offers to relaxation techniques. There is very little information publicly available on the results of these programs; the same holds true for the number of participants, efficiency, and cooperation with physicians.
Conclusion:
There is a strong need to investigate results and efficiency of the programs.
