This study investigated the effects of race/ethnicity (r/e) match in cognitive-behavioral therapy with rural older adults. Races/ethnicities represented in this study were African-American and White. Treatment followed a CBT treatment protocol and was provided by MSWs to clients in their homes. Results indicated little evidence of differences in outcome and process for matched and non-matched dyads for number of sessions attended, changes in quality of life and psychological symptoms, overall quality of therapy sessions, or the number of sessions considered of unsatisfactory quality. Our findings are consistent with recent research on r/e matching and extend these findings to a sample of rural older adults.
