“Caminando y socializando con Happy Older Latinos are Active (HOLA)”: Results of a randomized clinical trial to promote health and prevent depression and anxiety in older Latinos.

Findings highlight the feasibility, acceptability, and significant impact the HOLA intervention can have in reducing psychological distress because it is responsive, respectful, and specific to the needs of older Latinos. Furthermore, using a community health worker to deliver a health promotion intervention to prevent common mental disorders in older Latinos is an innovative approach for reducing disease burden in a population living with high disparities in accessing and engaging in mental health services.
