Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), GAD-7 scores, and demographics were collected from electronic medical records at baseline and 3 and 6 months after enrollment in the COACH program.

Over 18 months, the phase analysis showed that post-intervention mean monthly PHQ-9 and GAD-7 scores dropped from 11.8 to 7.5 and 10.8 to 6.4, respectively, indicating a shift in the process, which was statistically significant (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      &lt; 0.001 and &lt; 0.0001, respectively).\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The care provided using the COACH Program was associated with a reduction in depression and anxiety symptoms at 3 and 6 months, achieving significant remission rates, while maintaining good patient engagement.
