Summary

This study tested a program called Positive Minds-Strong Bodies Enhanced (PMSB-E) in 427 older adults from racial, ethnic, and linguistic minority groups who had depression, anxiety, and some mobility issues. The program combined mental health support with physical exercises to help prevent disability. Researchers measured how acceptable the program was and whether it improved mood and physical function over time.
