Summary

The purpose of this study is to test the effectiveness of Open Door (previously known as the Treatment Initiation Program \[TIP\]), a brief psychosocial intervention to address the psychological barriers to care and improve the use of mental health services by depressed community elderly. The intervention is designed to help the older adult identify the barriers, problem-solve to find solutions and mobilize the motivation to seek help.
