 Engage for Late-Life Depression and Comorbid Executive Dysfunction

 

This research study will test a psychotherapy program called Engage that is designed to improve depression in older adults. We hope to expand this treatment to adults aged 60 and older with depression who are also experiencing changes to their concentration and thinking ability. If someone is eligible and chooses to participate in our research study, they will receive nine (9) weekly Engage therapy sessions in person at either UNLV or an affiliated site near downtown Las Vegas. They will also complete questionnaires, interviews, and computer tests about their symptoms at different times throughout the study. Engage therapy is offered free of charge, and participants will be eligible to receive financial compensation for participating.
