EAAD's Best Practice Model To Improve Depression Care & Prevent Suicidal Behaviour In Europe (EEAD-Best)
EAAD's Best Practice Model To Improve Depression Care & Prevent Suicidal Behaviour In Europe (EEAD-Best)
Adapting and Implementing EAAD´s Best Practice Model to Improve Depression Care and Prevent Suicidal Behavior in Europe (EAAD-Best) seeks to address this deficit by increasing the number of people with depression and suicidal behaviour that are getting treatment. This project is particularly timely given the exacerbation of mental health problems associated with the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. The main goal of EAAD-Best is to improve care for patients with depression and to prevent suicidal behaviour in Europe. EAAD-Best will achieve this goal by:
- Implementing the European Alliance Against Depression’s community-based 4-level intervention concept for the first time to target regions in Bulgaria, Estonia, Greece, Italy and Poland and to further regions in Hungary, Ireland and Spain.
- Promoting in each of these countries a nationwide uptake of the iFightDepression®-tool, an internet-based self-management tool for patients with depression and more broadly, the iFightDepression® awareness website.
- Reducing stigma
- Improving health literacy
- Increasing help-seeking behaviour

European Comparative Effectiveness Research on Internet-based Depression Treatment (E-COMPARED)
European Comparative Effectiveness Research on Internet-based Depression Treatment (E-COMPARED)
E-COMPARED provides mental healthcare stakeholders with evidence-based information and recommendations about the clinical and cost-effectiveness of blended depression treatment. E-COMPARED aims to provide mental healthcare stakeholders with evidence-based information and recommendations about the clinical and cost-effectiveness of blended depression treatment. Comparative Effectiveness Research is conducted in nine European countries to determine what treatment works best, for whom, and under what circumstances. Current practice of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) in routine and specialised mental healthcare is compared with ‘blended’ treatment for depression that combines both internet, mobile technologies, and face-to-face interventions. It uses a number of methods:
- Compare: compare and evaluate current mental health policies and guidelines for both treatment-as-usual (TAU) and internet-based treatment for depression.
- Synthesise: to synthesize current knowledge about the clinical and cost-effectiveness of internet-based depression treatment, as compared in controlled settings to treatment as usual.
- Evaluate: to evaluate the clinical and cost-effectiveness of internet-based depression treatment as compared to TAU in routine primary healthcare and specialised mental health service centres
- Personalise: to predict which patient groups could benefit from internet-based treatment versus treatment as usual by intelligent modelling of individual patient characteristics.
- Predict: to provide a macro-economic model that allows for calculating different scenarios, costs and levels of internet-based depression treatment implementation throughout Europe.
- Recommend: to provide evidence-based recommendations and informing how internet-based depression treatment can be integrated into routine primary healthcare and outpatient specialised practices for depression treatment in the European Union.

Preventing Depression and Improving Awareness through Networking in the EU (PREDI-NU)
Preventing Depression and Improving Awareness through Networking in the EU (PREDI-NU)
Preventing Depression and Improving Awareness through Networking in the EU (PREDI-NU) is a project intended to contribute to the promotion of mental health and the prevention of depression and suicidality through information and communication technologies (ICT). It started on September 1, 2011 with a duration of 36 months. The goal of the project was to develop an internet-based guided self-management tool for mild to moderate depression. The self-management tool will soon be accessible on the European Mental Health website www.ifightdepression.com.PREDI-NU was built upon the experience of two EU-funded and internationally recognized depression and suicide prevention projects:
- The European Alliance Against Depression (EAAD)
- Optimising Suicide Prevention Programmes and their Implementation in Europe (OSPI-Europe)
- The evidence-based multi-level depression awareness and suicide prevention concept established through this previous work provides a solid foundation through which to develop opportunities for innovative ICT interventions.
PREDI-NU was coordinated by Prof. Dr. Ulrich Hegerl (University of Leipzig, Germany) and co-coordinated by Dr. Ella Arensman (National Suicide Reserach Foundation Ireland). The project was funded by the European Commission in the Framework of the Health Programme - Consumer, Health and Food Executive Agency (CHAFEA)
