The study is designed to answer the following research questions: 1. Evaluate the acceptability of mental health screening and of the instruments used in a sample of community living Chinese seniors; 2. Determine rates of mental health service utilization in individuals identified at screening as having psychological disturbance; 3. Determine if identifying mental illness and informing participants of screening results and with treatment alternatives alters help-seeking pathways. The study hypotheses are: 1. This community sample of Chinese seniors will show a higher prevalence of psychological disturbance than their counterparts in the general population; 2. Emotional well-being will be positively correlated with individuals' physical health and social support network.
