Outcomes of Depression and Anxiety in a Virtual Collaborative Care Program: A Quality Improvement Study.
Article in Global journal on quality and safety in healthcare, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Introduction: Behavioral health conditions affect a substantial proportion of the United States population each year, yet many individuals do not receive treatment due to multiple barriers. The Clinically Optimal Access to Collaborative Healthcare (COACH) program is a virtual implementation of the Collaborative Care Model (CCM) that addresses these barriers. Methods: This was a retrospective study evaluating the outcomes of a QI project aimed at improving the care of patients with major depressive disorder (MDD) and/or generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) through enrollment into the COACH Program from Nov 1, 2021, to Oct 31, 2024. Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), GAD-7 scores, and demographics were collected from electronic medical records at baseline and 3 and 6 months after enrollment in the COACH program. Remission and attrition rates were calculated at 3 and 6 months. A phase analysis over 18 months was conducted of PHQ-9 and GAD-7 mean scores before and after enrollment in the COACH program A paired Results: A total of 531 patients were included in the analysis (median age 45 y, 50% White, 27% Hispanic). Most patients were referred from primary care provider (PCP) offices (95%) and spoke English (99%). Fifty-four percent ( Conclusion: The care provided using the COACH Program was associated with a reduction in depression and anxiety symptoms at 3 and 6 months, achieving significant remission rates, while maintaining good patient engagement. The COACH program, as an iteration of the collaborative care model, presents an alternative for the traditional delivery of care for anxiety and depression.
