| Opplysninger | Previous research and our own observations suggested that older Caribbean people might use terms for emotional distress that differed from those found in standard screening instruments. Using a combination of qualitative approaches derived from the 'new cross-cultural psychiatry', we have developed a new 13-item culture-specific screen containing items which both overlap and differ from those found in, for example, the Geriatric Depression Scale. Further research is in progress to test the validity of this screen in a large community sample.
