Screening older adults for depression : the relationship among clinical discipline training, barriers, attitudes, norms, and perceived behavioral control.

Abstract

I'm so grateful for the love and support from my wife Kristina, who has shown immeasurable patience and resolve as I attended graduate school and worked on this study. Thank you. I'm also thankful to Dr. Suzanne Meeks for her practical mentoring style, which I believe played a large role in my completion of this degree. Her clinical and research expertise in geropsychology is impressive and she provided an excellent model for mentoring students. I hope to utilize both throughout my career. Thanks to my committee members Dr. Benjamin Mast, Dr. Richard Lewine, Dr. Daniel DeCaro, and Dr. Jesse Wright for their service and their recommendations for future research. I am so grateful for my University of Louisville colleagues that shared this journey with me, and am thankful to my VA Boston colleagues for supporting me to the finish. I don't know if my family will ever fully understand what I do, but they have nevertheless been extremely supportive of my studies and work. Thank you to the Graduate Student Council for funding this research. I am so grateful for a private donation from Duke and Nikki Lewis, and am thankful for their support of mental health research. Finally, can't forget the coffee, bourbon, and beer. They were certainly helpful.
