Abstract
Greater dose of mental health visits was associated with lower annual health care costs. Improved screening and adequate treatment of depression has potential to reduce total health care costs among patients with cancer. Because this was a small study, few patients with exceptionally high costs could augment the results. Therefore, replication of these findings, particularly using a clinical trial design, is needed to confirm these effects. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2018 APA, all rights reserved).
