AnnotationA multifaceted secondary preventive intervention was found to have significant effects on depressive symptomatology and quality of life for inhabitants of residential homes in the Netherlands. Improvements in Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) scores indicate that the effects of the intervention are stronger in residents with more depressive symptoms. General approaches aimed at residential home staff may therefore be capable of influencing residents' depressive symptoms. (RH).
