Evidence-Based Support Collaborative Care is an evidence-based model of care that has emerged since its development in the 1990s. Beginning with the IMPACT trial published in 2002, more than 90 randomized controlled trials and several meta-analyses have demonstrated the model to be more effective than usual care for patients with depression, anxiety, and other mild to moderate behavioral health needs. CoCM is also shown to be highly effective in treating co-morbid mental health and physical conditions such as cancer, diabetes, and HIV.
