Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
In Home
Participants in this condition will receive 8 sessions of BA treatment over the course of approximately 8 weeks (one session per week). The sessions will be conducted in their homes using an Army approved secure web-based video conferencing system. BA has been successfully delivered in this time frame, and it has been delivered via in-home video conferencing technology.
Behavioral Activation
Behavioral activation(BA)will be delivered in 8 weekly sessions via webcam for the in-home arm or face to face in the in-person arm. Behavioral activation attempts to help depressed individuals reengage in their lives through focused activation strategies.
In-Person
Participants in this condition will receive 8 sessions of BA treatment over the course of approximately 8 weeks (one session per week with allowance for rescheduled sessions). The sessions will be conducted in a clinic setting at The National Center for Telehealth \& Technology.
Behavioral Activation
Behavioral activation(BA)will be delivered in 8 weekly sessions via webcam for the in-home arm or face to face in the in-person arm. Behavioral activation attempts to help depressed individuals reengage in their lives through focused activation strategies.
