Summary

This study evaluates stepped care for depression in patients with heart failure (HF). The stepped care intervention consists of individualized cognitive behavior therapy (CBT). Half of the participants will receive stepped care and half will receive usual care for depression; all participants will receive heart failure self-care education and support. The primary aims are to determine whether stepped care is superior to usual care for depression, and whether treating depression improves heart failure self-care outcomes.
