Examined between-and within-programs variations in the amount and type of treatment obtained by 412 patients (aged 18+ yrs) who entered treatment for unipolar depression in 1 of 6 programs. Ss were assessed on the Health and Daily Living Form, the Family Environment Scale, and the Work Environment Scale. Each program had a distinctive orientation toward treatment as shown by considerable between-programs variability in Ss' treatment experiences. These between-programs differences remained significant after controlling for severity of depressive symptoms and the sociodemographic characteristics of Ss treated in each program. Within programs, there was only limited evidence for a patient–treatment matching process in which Ss with more severe depression received more intensive treatment. However, there was also little evidence of clinician bias against providing treatment to less" desirable" Ss, such as those who were older or of lower social status. Ss who experienced more recent life stressors were treated less intensively, perhaps because of a tendency to attribute their depression to situational rather than dispositional factors.(45 ref)(PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
