Depression in the Elderly: Attitudes of Seniors and Practices of Healthcare Providers

Introduction: Support & Services at Home (SASH) is a model for independent housing for seniors that was developed in 2009 by a partnership of community providers and Cathedral Square Corporation. Results of a 2010 PHQ-9 screen on depression administered to seniors living at Heineberg Senior Housing, a Cathedral Square community, found that 30% of residents had mild depression, 6% moderate depression, and 6% moderate to severe depression. This topic has been targeted by SASH coordinators so that they may provide more support for their residents. Furthermore, a high prevalence of depression amongst the elderly population has been well-documented and this disease is often under-diagnosed, under-treated, or missed altogether.https://scholarworks.uvm.edu/comphp_gallery/1069/thumbnail.jp

Community Awareness and Utilization of School Based Health Centers in Burlington, Vermont

Most K-12 students will miss at least one day of school each year due to illness or injury; in 2010, six percent missed 11 days or more. School Based Health Clinics, SBHC, are provider-based health clinics located in schools, supplementing routine nursing care and complementing the role of a pediatrician while the child is in school. SBHCs aim to: • Reduce the amount of school that students miss • Provide quick and convenient care for a variety of routine and acute medical concerns Our objective was to: • Investigate community awareness and utilization of the SBHCs in the Burlington School District • Providing insight regarding how to increase engagement of students and parents with the SBHC’s and thereby reduce avoidable class absenteeism.https://scholarworks.uvm.edu/comphp_gallery/1274/thumbnail.jp
