- The study evaluated clinical practice guidelines for managing depression globally, focusing on their development and implementation quality.
- It found that guidelines from low- and middle-income countries generally had less transparency, fewer multidisciplinary authors, and lower rates of systematic reviews compared to those from high-income countries.
- The conclusion emphasizes the need for improved planning, reporting, and measurement of guideline effectiveness, especially in low- and middle-income countries, and recommends that future guidelines include strategies for implementation and assessment.
