Description
Hadas Elbaz and colleagues compare depressive symptoms and mental-health service use among older Israelis across three population groups. Data from the Survey on Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe covered 3,517 participants, 54 percent women, averaging 64 years.
Groups were Jews born in Israel or arrived before 1989, Arabs living in Israel, and later arrivals from the former Soviet Union. Logistic models linked social and clinical traits to clinically significant depressive symptoms, scored at four or more points on the EURO-D scale, and to service use in each group. Policy makers get a group-by-group picture of need versus care, where culture, migration history, and income may pull in different directions.
