Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
A further objective is to evaluate the feasibility of a novel self-motivated physical activity intervention, which has been designed for this project.
The final objective of this project is to investigate alternative intervention delivery modes, for an adolescent sample with subclinical depressive symptomatology, i.e., presenting with some depression symptoms but not at a level where major depressive disorder would be diagnosed. We aim to compare the effect of a completely mediated delivery approach for physical activity (i.e., no researcher contact) and a mediated intervention with face-to-face contact and fortnightly check-in telephone calls.
