Summary
Classification Tree Analyses are used to predict treatment decisions for depression and anxiety disorders. Students learn how these analyses work and how they can help improve treatment decisions for mental health conditions.
Treatment decisions for mental health
Treatment decisions for anxiety disorders can be predicted more accurately than for depression. Social problems and risk ratings are important factors in these decisions.
Classification tree analysis
A classification tree analysis was performed using data from an audit of secondary care services. The analysis aimed to predict whether evidence-based treatments were offered to patients.
Predictor variables
Predictor variables included presenting problem, risk, comorbid problem, social problems, and previous psychiatric history. These variables helped to determine the relative importance of factors in treatment decisions.
Differences between depression and anxiety
Treatment decisions for depression are more idiosyncratic than for anxiety disorders. The complexity of depression and the lack of clarity in clinical guidelines contribute to this difference.
