The independent variable are level of depression (mild or severe) and maintenance of treatment protocol for depression. Moderating variables are age, ethnicity, and SES. Local public health clinics will be contacted and asked to participate in the study. The clinics will be given a description of the study and a request to solicit volunteer subjects. Subjects will be guaranteed confidentiality. Solicitations will continue at more clinics in a wider geographical area until at least 30 subjects are obtained. There are two primary threats to external validity in this study. First, the subjects in this study are all self-selected. The only way to control for thi
