TL;DR: The quality of depression treatment at commercial and public insurance plans in New York City and New York State were compared to that of the East Harlem Health Outreach Partnership, the student-run clinic of the Mount Sinai School of Medicine, and recommendations were made for an integrated, on-site mental health service program at the community health clinic.
