Clinical TrialOne-Visit Behavioral Intervention for Older Primary Care Patients with Mild to Moderate Depressive Symptoms.
We pilot tested a one-visit behavioral intervention with telephone follow-up for older primary care patients with mild to moderate depressive symptoms. ⋯ This pilot study provided preliminary evidence that a one-visit behavioral activation intervention is acceptable and feasible and improves outcomes. If findings are confirmed, then this intervention could be integrated into existing collaborative care programs.
