Telepsychology-Service Delivery for Depressed Elderly Veterans

US Department of Veterans Affairs·interventional·Posted May 11, 2006·Updated Apr 24, 2015

In Brief

A clinical study evaluating Telepsychology and Face-to-face therapy for Depression and Elderly. Completed, enrolled 241 participants across 1 site.

Detailed Summary

The purpose of this study is to see whether therapy for elderly adults with major depression can be delivered effectively using videoconferencing technology ("telepsychology"), which allows a therapist and patient who are not in the same room as one another to communicate. We are interested in learning if this form of mental health service delivery is an acceptable alternative to traditional face-to-face therapy delivered with the therapist in the same room as the patient.
