This study describes the impact of this course in a pragmatic randomized controlled trial. ABSTRACT Methods: Inclusion criteria (入选标准)were 50 years, a score of 5 or higher on CES-D, and no depressive disorder or psychotropic or psychological treatment. Participants were randomized and strati?ed by gender: the experimental group (N=83) was offered the course and the comparison group (N=88) a movie. There were three measurements: pre-treatment, post-treatment and 6 months after post-treatment. Depressive symptoms constituted the primary outcome. Secondary outcomes were anxiety symptoms, satisfaction with life, mastery and reminiscence styles. All analyses were conducted according to the intention-to-treat principle. Missing values were replaced by regression imputation.
