Project Title: PEARLS Equity: Expanding Access to Depression Care for Underserved Older Adults
Description: The Health Promotion Research Center (HPRC) will focus on expanding the Program to Encourage Active, Rewarding Lives (PEARLS) with underserved populations by partnering with organizations that are already serving and doing work with these communities. The ultimate goal is to help provide equitable access to depression care. Priority populations for the study include older adults who are experiencing poverty, are community members of color, have limited-English proficiency, and/or live in rural areas.
