Background and purpose The purpose of this article is to describe the utility of the Assessment, Development, Assurance: Pharmacist’s Tool (ADAPT) during the design, delivery, and assessment of service-learning events by pharmacy students Educational activity and setting The ADAPT instrument was used to develop a series of five service-learning events that featured a health promotion program delivered by 19 pharmacy students and attended by over 200 senior citizens at local senior centers. Student competence was assessed prior to participating in the service-learning activities and each student completed a reflection following the event. Senior center directors evaluated both the quality of the health promotion program as well as the interaction with the sponsoring college of pharmacy. Findings Pharmacy students reported achievement of health promotion learning objectives based on self-evaluations. Responses to reflections also indicate that students gained insight to and appreciation for several of the public health essential services, which are the basis of the ADAPT instrument. Feedback from the senior center directors was consistently positive. Discussion and summary Use of the ADAPT instrument helped to facilitate the delivery of a high-quality, comprehensive service-learning series at local senior centers that had a solid public health foundation. Colleges and schools of pharmacy should strongly consider consulting the tool prior to planning any future health promotion activities for students.

“…Extensive research has shown the influence that senior centers have on older adult populations (Aday et al, 2006;Chen et al, 2008;Fulbright, 2010;Turner, 2004). Fulbright (2010) found that a large number of older adults feel that their lives improved after taking part in activities at a senior center.…”

In addition, Turner (2004) identified participation in senior centers' nutrition programs as being a significant outlet for seniors to benefit from socialization and eating nutritious meals.…”

Objective We describe the development of a lay‐delivered behavioral intervention (“Do More, Feel Better”) for depressed senior center clients, and we present preliminary data from a pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT) on (a) the feasibility of training lay volunteers to fidelity and (b) the acceptability, impact, and safety of the intervention. Methods We trained 11 volunteers at two aging service settings in “Do More, Feel Better” and randomized 18 depressed clients to receive the intervention or referral to mental health services. Results Pilot data indicated that we can successfully train and certify 64% of older volunteers and that depressed clients receiving the intervention reported high levels of session attendance and satisfaction. While there were no significant differences in 12‐week reduction in Hamilton Depression Rating Scale scores between groups, intervention clients showed an 8‐point reduction in comparison with a 0‐point reduction among referral clients. Conclusions “Do More, Feel Better” has the potential of transferring evidence‐based behavioral interventions to the hands of supervised lay volunteers and can address the insufficient workforce providing geriatric mental health services.
