The program is an outgrowth of a five-year research project conducted in collaboration with the UW Health Promotion Research Center, which showed PEARLS home-based depression management counseling significantly reduced depression symptoms and improved health status in chronically medically ill older adults with minor depression. PEARLS counseling supplements—without competing— with other services for veterans.
