Abstract
Clinicians referred 145 participants with depression and cognitive impairment to PATH-MHS. We completed analyses of the change in depression, disability and the association between baseline characteristics and remission of depression. Most participants were Hispanic or Non-Hispanic Black and 54.7% (76) were primary Spanish speakers. Overall, there were significant decreases in the mean PHQ-9 and WHODAS 2.0 scores. In logistic regression models, neither age, education, gender, race/ethnicity, language nor long-term care status was significantly associated with remission of depression. This study demonstrates that we were able to engage a diverse, cognitively impaired, and frail cohort of older adults in PATH-MHS with significant reductions in depression and disability.
