No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The primary aim of the proposed study is to compare the efficacy of cognitive therapy (CT) with the efficacy of an enhanced usual care (EUC) intervention for reducing the rate of suicide ideation (SI) and the severity of depression and hopelessness among older men. The investigators expect that suicidal older men randomly assigned to the CT intervention condition will have a lower rate of SI during the follow-up period than participants assigned to the control condition.
