Snowden M, Steinman L, Frederick J. Treating depression in older adults: challenges to implementing the recommendations of an expert panel. Prev Chronic Dis 2008;5(1).
A special topic in the Preventing Chronic Disease, Public Health Research Practice and Policy series, this article shows the difficulties involved in translating research into practice. The authors describe real-world experiences in implementing evidence-based interventions in various community settings. Because depression among older people is viewed more and more as a public health problem, they suggest that partnerships of providers, patients, and policy makers be forged to overcome challenges related to funding, training, and implementing treatments for this condition.
