Routine Outcome Monitoring – Geriatric Psychiatry & Sciences
The primary aim is to study the one-year outcome (remission) of late-life depressive-, anxiety- and somatic symptom disorders jointly. ROMGPS specifically aims to estimate the impact of comorbidity between affective disorders, the treatment components delivered, and age-related characteristics on treatment effectiveness. Such knowledge will guide the development of more effective and age-specific treatment strategies.
