This article describes a geriatric wellness program in which social work practitioners played a major role. The focus of this article is twofold: to examine the use of a telephone screening test for depression among a well elderly population and to compare the results of that screening with the clinical judgment of social workers. Overall findings indicated that a telephone screening instrument incorporating the Rand Mental Health Inventory and the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale was an efficient tool for assessing a population with a higher rate of major depression. Furthermore, the social workers identified many previously undetected cases of major depression, and a majority of people referred for treatment completed those referrals.
