Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
This study adopts a waitlist-controlled trial and examines the effectiveness of an innovative cultural art programme to combat internalised ageism and reduce depressive symptoms compared with service as usual. Community-dwelling older adults (age 60 years and over) at risk for depression will be recruited and randomised to receive cultural arts (experimental group) or service as usual (waitlist control group). Assessments will be administered by trained researcher(s) at baseline (T0), and completion of the 9-session intervention (T1). Effectiveness analyses will be based on changes in assessments at different time points between intervention and control groups.
