Study Summary

Primary Outcome
The Geriatric Depression Scale (Residential) (GDS-12R) is a validated, self-reported instrument assessing depression over the past 7 days. It is a "yes/no" format. Possible scores range from 0 (no depressive symptoms) to 10 (depression). A score of 0 to 4 is normal; scores ≥ 4 are significant for depressive symptoms; scores ≥ 08 is almost always indicative of depression. A score ≥ 5 points should warrant a follow-up comprehensive assessment.
