What Works 4 Us Project (WW4US)

What works for depression for you?

There is quite a lot of research information about what mental health professionals and researchers consider effective treatments for depression. But we know very little about what treatments consumers find useful.

To find out we have developed an online survey (on the Internet) of what consumers say helps for depression. The survey contains questions about what sources of help you have tried in the past and how well they worked. The survey also includes questions about how you are feeling now, and what you think about depression.

WW4US is a multi-national study using an online survey to investigate consumers’ reports of the benefits and disadvantages of medical, psychological and alternative treatments for depression, plus an anti-stigma intervention.
