This randomized trial demonstrates the effectiveness of a collaborative care intervention adapted for primary care clinics too small or remote to support onsite specialty consultation. This finding is especially important for the dissemination of collaborative care programs outside of urban settings in wealthier countries.

This randomized trial provides evidence for the generalizability of collaborative care models from the US to the UK and suggests that at least some of the clinical benefits of collaborative care occur at the practice level rather than the level of the individual patient.

This study provides essential practical information regarding the implementation and operation of a collaborative care program providing care management by telephone. The majority of care managers' time was spent attempting to reach patients by telephone.
