The Royal Colleges of Psychiatry and General Practice wish to increase knowledge of depressive illness among patients and professionals. This study reports the results of a series of depression education seminars in a Health Board in Northern Ireland. Seminars lasted 2 1/2 hours and included didactic teaching and interactive case management vignettes. 88 general practitioners took part (39% of those eligible). Seminars increased knowledge as measured by questionnaire immediately, but this did not appear to be sustained at one year, when compared to a group of general practitioners with no access to such seminars. Educational programmes as described do not appear to have a sustained effect on general practitioners' knowledge of depressive illness.
皇家精神科医学院和全科医学学院希望增进患者和专业人员对抑郁症的了解。本研究报告了北爱尔兰一个健康委员会举办的一系列抑郁症教育研讨会的结果。研讨会持续2个半小时，包括理论教学和互动式病例管理案例。88名全科医生参加了（占符合条件者的39%）。通过问卷调查衡量，研讨会立即提高了知识水平，但与未参加此类研讨会的一组全科医生相比，一年后这种效果似乎并未持续。所述的教育项目似乎对全科医生关于抑郁症的知识没有持续影响。
