Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Primary outcome is the utilization rate of psychological healthcare within six months after counselling a physician trained in "motivational interviewing" vs. a not-trained physician.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary outcomes are improvement of symptoms of anxiety and depression and treatment related parameters in the 6-months follow-up. Furthermore, the success of a short "motivational interviewing" education of physicians for our setting will be analysed by evaluation of the interviews. The screening results for anxiety and depression over a broad spectrum of chronic disease will be descriptively analysed.
