First seen Mar 18, 2026 · Last updated Jun 22, 2026 · Updated 8 times
Summary
This study tests whether five weekly video therapy sessions led by trained non-professional counselors can prevent depression in older, low-income stroke survivors who have mild depressive symptoms. Researchers will track 350 participants for up to three months to see if the program reduces the risk of full-blown depression. The goal is to find an affordable, accessible way to support recovery after a stroke.
