Randomized Controlled TrialPsychotherapy for depression in older veterans via telemedicine: a randomised, open-label, non-inferiority trial.
Many older adults with major depression, particularly veterans, do not have access to evidence-based psychotherapy. Telemedicine could increase access to best-practice care for older adults facing barriers of mobility, stigma, and geographical isolation. We aimed to establish non-inferiority of behavioural activation therapy for major depression delivered via telemedicine to same-room care in largely male, older adult veterans. ⋯ US Department of Veterans Affairs.
