TI  - Universal Depression Screening to Improve Depression Outcomes in Primary Care: 
      Sounds Good, but Where Is the Evidence?

AB  - The 2016 recommendation statement by the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force 
      (USPSTF) endorsed screening for depression in the general adult population. The 
      recommendation was mainly based on studies that compared enhanced depression care 
      that included depression screening with usual care. In contrast to the USPSTF 
      recommendation, the 2013 guidelines from the Canadian Task Force on Preventive 
      Health Care (CTFPHC) recommended against routine depression screening. The CTFPHC 
      could not identify any studies comparing depression outcomes of usual care with 
      and without the addition of routine depression screening. In the absence of 
      evidence of clinical benefit, there are concerns that wide adoption of the USPSTF 
      recommendation for universal depression screening would lead to overdiagnosis of 
      depression and an increase in inappropriate prescription of antidepressant 
      medications.
