Summary: Improve Depression Screening among Ethnically Diverse Older Adults with Cardiovascular Disease

Do you have high blood pressure? Do you suffer from heart problems?



We are looking for a diverse, English-speaking population of adults aged 65 or older who suffer from one or more cardiovascular diseases or risk factors. The purpose of this study is to develop questions that can identify early signs of depression in older adults more effectively than current models. Participants will be asked to answer questions relating to mood, view of life, alcohol-use, heart problems, cultural background, and physical changes in an interview and through questionnaires. The study will take one visit for 30-90 minutes.


Compensation is $25 for participating and $25 for related transportation costs.
