Demographic Table

This statistical analysis assesses the effectiveness of an intervention in reducing

depression among older adults. Pre-intervention and post-intervention Geriatric Depression

Scale (GDS) are used as the primary measure. This analysis uses the paired-sample t-test to

compare the pre-and post-GDS scale for gender, race, ethnicity, marital status, and education

demographics to assess the effectiveness of the treatment for the different demographics.
