The Evidence-based Practice Center (EPC) Program at the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) has posted the proposed key questions for the systematic review on Treatment of Childhood Depression. They are available for your review and feedback until February 21 at the Effective Healthcare Web site.

The purpose of the review is to examine the benefits and harms of non-pharmacological and pharmacological interventions for depression in children and adolescents.

The key questions are the questions that we will seek answers to during the systematic review. Your feedback will help improve the relevance of our reviews for healthcare decision making. Please comment on the clarity, relevance, and usefulness of the key questions. All comments will be reviewed and considered. We value your feedback and look forward to receiving your comments.

AHRQ is a government agency tasked with producing evidence to improve the quality of healthcare while working with partners to ensure that the evidence is understood and used. Below are links that provide more information on the EPC Program.
