Routine Outcome Monitoring for Geriatric Psychiatry and Sciences (ROM-GPS)
The ROM-GPS study continuously recruits and follows individuals receiving geriatric-psychiatric secondary care in outpatient departments in the North of the Netherlands. The cohort includes patients who are diagnosed at baseline with a unipolar mood disorder, anxiety disorder or somatoform disorder. The study started in 2015 and now runs in geriatric-psychiatric outpatient clinics of seven mental health organizations, after participants give informed consent for the supplementary study assessments.
