The Depression Attention for Women Now (DAWN) Study led by Wayne Katon, MD and Susan Reed, MD, MPH, received the 2014 Roy M. Pitkin Award presented by the editors of the journal Obstetrics & Gynecology. The award honors departments of obstetrics and gynecology that promote and demonstrate excellence in research. The winning article, “Improving Care for Depression in Obstetrics and Gynecology: A Randomized Controlled Trial” compared the results of collaborative depression care adapted to obstetrics and gynecology with usual care. The authors found that Collaborative Care in obstetrics and gynecology was feasible and significantly more effective than regular care in improving mental health. The award certificate and a $6,000 prize will be presented at this year’s American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists Annual Clinical and Scientific Meeting in San Francisco, CA in May.
