Abstract

This descriptive analysis examines prescribing trends of antidepressants in English primary care, providing analysis of NHS reimbursement data for groups of antidepressants between 1989 and 1994. Prescribing trends seem unaffected by the release of information on the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of antidepressant drugs. We found that simple distribution of the results of health technology assessments may not be sufficient to influence practice.
