Our goal was to evaluate treatment attendance patterns, including both treatment completion and premature termination from treatment, for 2 evidence-based psychotherapies for major depressive disorder (MDD) delivered in a community mental health setting. We explored rates of premature termination across the course of treatment as well as the factors that predicted and moderated premature termination and treatment completion.
