Observational study into depression gets underway

Under the project leadership of the Institute of General Practice at Freiburg University Hospital, the observational study on depression (acronym: BEBOP Depression/ DRKS00033568) will commence on 5 February 2024. This is the second of three retrospective observational studies. As part of the study, in collaboration with the participating GP research practices and GP research practicesPLUS, the feasibility of the IT research infrastructure will be tested, and data relevant to GP care will be collected and analysed. This study has the potential to provide a basis for future studies and research questions relating to the diagnosis of „depression“. This observational study will be followed by a further observational study on heart failure (led by Heidelberg) within FoPraNet-BW.
