Depression is common among older adults and becomes even more common as we age. If not well treated, late-life depression can lead to poor quality of life, disability, and premature death. Efficacious drugs and psychotherapeutic treatments have been available for over four decades, yet most depressed seniors remain either undetected or inadequately treated. Researchers at UW and Kaiser have been successfully designing and studying more effective ways of delivering depression care. Resident Ed Wagner, UW physician and founding director of the Center for Health Studies at Group Health, takes a closer look into the development, testing, and dissemination of one of these interventions.
