N2  - This paper describes the development and evaluation of a 3-hour multimedia community education program on depression and suicide in later life. Designed for families, older adults, and service providers, the program provides information and teaches skills needed to recognize and respond to depression and suicidal behavior in the elderly. Compared with a control group, program participants had significant gains in knowledge and in their intent to take appropriate action in support of a depressed person.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
