Description

To many employers, problematic drinking, and major depressive disorder (MDD) are very costly conditions and significantly impact the quality of life and morbidity and mortality of their employees.  This presentation will review an evidence-based model enabling an employer to quantify the economic, quality of life and morbidity and mortality impact of both MDD and problematic drinking on an employed population. The presentation will conclude by reviewing the benefits of offering evidence-based digital therapeutics (DTx) rooted in cognitive behavioral therapy as part of an employees benefit package.
