Abstract
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this paper was to review the large US National Institute of Mental Health-sponsored depression intervention effectiveness study, STAR*D, in order to evaluate critically its relevance for Australasian clinicians.
CONCLUSIONS
STAR*D is a landmark study which tried to address issues of effectiveness rather than efficacy, of a number of interventions for depression. However, methodological shortcomings limit the utility of the study in informing Australasian clinical practice.
