The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficiency of a minimal intervention on the course of depressive symptoms in patients with known coronary heart disease (CHD) or hypertension. By means of a depression screening and individual patient-targeted feedback the level of depression should decrease, the percentage of treated depressed patients should increase and health economic costs should be lowered. The main hypothesis is that screening plus targeted feedback results in a greater reduction of depression than screening only.
