Development and Testing of a Behavioral Activation Mobile Therapy for Elevated Depressive Systems

University of Maryland, College Park·interventional·Posted Jul 15, 2015·Updated Nov 29, 2023

In Brief

A clinical study evaluating Behavioral Activation, Cognitvie Based Therapy, and 1 other intervention for Depression. Completed, enrolled 52 participants.

Detailed Summary

Elevated depressive symptomatology is a widespread public health concern and individuals with elevated depressive symptoms most frequently report such symptoms to primary care physicians (PCPs). PCPs have few evidence-based resources beyond antidepressant medication for treating elevated depressive symptoms, which results in negative outcomes for their depressed patients. Mobile technologies offer an ideal strategy to meet widespread treatment needs. The purpose of the proposed project is to\\ customize Behavioral Activation (BA), a straightforward, empirically supported treatment for elevated depressive symptoms, for a mobile format (Moodivate) in order to address the currently unmet needs of PCPs and their patients with elevated depressive symptoms.

Interventions

Behavioral Activationother

BA is based in behavioral principles of depression that suggest that depression is caused by a lack of reinforcement in the environment for positive, non-depressed behaviors. As such, the goal of BA is to help the patient reengage in positive, non-depressed activities. In clinical trials, BA as a treatment component has been consistently superior to no treatment and treatment as usual control groups, and a large body of research has found that BA is either equally or more effective than CBT, CT, and antidepressant medications (Cuijpers, Van Straten, \& Warmerdam, 2007; Dimidjian et al., 2006; Jacobson et al., 1996).

Cognitvie Based Therapyother

CBT explores patterns of thinking that lead to self-destructive actions and the beliefs that direct these thoughts, people with mental illness can modify their patterns of thinking to improve coping

Treatment as Usualother

Individuals will be provided with one on one therapy sessions
