Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Pilot study to assess a multi-component intervention to increase physical activity in persons with depression.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The research project is a pilot study to assess the effects of a multi-component intervention in increasing physical activity among persons with depression. Individuals meeting inclusion/exclusion criteria will be enrolled in the 12-week intervention. Intervention components will include self-monitoring, Active Living counseling, and facility access. Blood samples will be collected at baseline. Assessments (anxiety, stress, sleep) and sample collection will also occur at 2 time points during the intervention (Weeks 7 and 13). Changes in physical activity will be assessed using Fitbits to measure weekly minutes of moderate/vigorous activity.

Physical Activity Intervention

Participants will participate in a multi-component physical activity intervention for 12 weeks.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Physical Activity

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Self-monitoring: Subjects will be provided with a commercially available activity monitor (i.e., Fitbit) and instructed to wear the device daily.

Active Living counseling: The Active Living counseling program will consists of 12 weekly group educational sessions, facilitated by project interventionists. These sessions will involve discussion of topics related to increasing physical activity, including: identifying and overcoming barriers, setting goals, social support, and time management.

Facility Access: Subjects will have access to the exercise lab in the UT Southwestern Depression Center consisting of equipment for aerobic exercise (treadmills, stationary bikes, etc.).
