Abstract
Stepped behavioral health care models have begun to receive increased attention. Self‐administered treatments deserve consideration as an element in these models for some disorders and for some consumers. Features suggesting inclusion include low cost, wide availability, and evidence‐based status. We present a stepped‐care model for depression inclusive of a self‐administered treatment component. We also discuss cautions such as depression severity and consumer preference. Evaluation of the efficacy and cost effectiveness of this approach to depression treatment is necessary. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Clin Psychol 59: 341–349, 2003.
