Depression Symptoms and Cognitive Test Performance in Older American Indians: The Strong Heart Study

Abstract

These findings maybe informative for health disparities populations, especially those with depressive risk. Clinicians may require particular training in cultural humility. Future studies should validate use of the CES-D scale in this population; longitudinal studies may focus on causal mechanisms and potential secondary prevention, such as social support.
