Summary:
Dr. Alexopoulos has conducted studies on treatments for patients with unmet needs, including low income depressed, disabled, home-bound patients, depressed stroke victims, depressed patients with severe chronic COPD, and depressed patients with executive dysfunction. He has been one of the first to use neurobiological models to streamline behavioral interventions so that they can be broadly used by community therapists.

Objectives for Webinar:
• Understand the role of neurobiological advances in the development of streamlined behavioral interventions
• Learn how to work with community based services to develop user-based plans for implementing and testing streamlined interventions
• Learn how mobile technology can be integrated in the care of depressed older adults
• Familiarize themselves with principles of behavioral economics used in improving adherence to psychosocial interventions.
