The generalizability of Older Adult Self‐Report (OASR) syndromes of psychopathology across 20 societies

Abstract

The findings supported the generalizability of OASR syndromes across societies. The seven syndromes offer empirically based clinical constructs that are relevant for elders of different backgrounds. They can be used to assess diverse elders and as a taxonomic framework to facilitate communication, services, research, and training in geriatric psychiatry.
