Once the clusters are identified, a random sample is selected from them, with the number of clusters chosen based on the desired sample size. Health centers within each selected cluster are then included in the sample. Eligible elderly participants from these health centers are then randomly allocated into blocks of four and assigned to either the control or intervention group. This is done after they have met the entry criteria for the study. Random allocation into blocks of four means that for every four eligible elderly participants, two are randomly assigned to the intervention group and two to the control group. The randomization process is done using a computer-generated random number sequence. The blocks of four ensure that there are an equal number of participants in each group, which can help to reduce the risk of chance imbalances between the groups. N/A Condition 1: Depression.
