Neurocognitive Predictors of Behavioral Therapy Response in Depression
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Behavioral Activation therapy for Depression. Completed, enrolled 57 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This project aims to identify brain and behavioral characteristics of individuals experiencing symptoms of depression that will predict the effectiveness of Behavioral Activation Therapy. Brain imaging aspects of the study will use functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and electroencephalography (EEG). Behavioral assessments will include self-report questionnaires, computer-based and observational tasks, and interviews. Assessments will focus on how individuals process positive information (such as reward) and negative information (such as distressing images), as well as how people make decisions. These assessments will be conducted across 2-3 in-person sessions prior to beginning the treatment, and will be repeated across 2-3 in-person sessions after completing treatment. A blood draw will also be conducted pre- and post- treatment. Behavior Activation therapy will consist of 10, 90-minute weekly therapy sessions conducted in small groups.
