Study Summary

The purpose of this study is to see whether therapy for elderly adults with major depression can be delivered effectively using videoconferencing technology ("telepsychology"), which allows a therapist and patient who are not in the same room as one another to communicate. We are interested in learning if this form of mental health service delivery is an acceptable alternative to traditional face-to-face therapy delivered with the therapist in the same room as the patient.

Primary Outcome

The Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) is a 30-item self-report assessment designed specifically to identify depression in the elderly. Participants are asked to respond by answering yes or no in reference to how they felt over the past week. Higher scores indicate more severe depression.

Interventions

  • BEHAVIORAL Telepsychology
  • BEHAVIORAL Face-to-face therapy
