| Annotation | Results of interviews using the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale (CES-D) with low-income, frail older Americans examined the extent to which service providers in a community-based care programme accurately identified and referred older people with symptoms of depression. Reviews of case files, recognition of depressive symptoms, and mental health service referrals gave an imperfect association between CES-D scores and case managers' perceptions and referrals. Only 31% of those screened received counselling. (RH). |
