Background: Poor treatment outcomes, disease recurrence, and medical co-morbidities contribute to the significant burden caused by depressive disorders. Increasing physical activity in persons with depression has the potential to improve both depression treatment outcomes and physical health. However, evidence for physical activity interventions that can be delivered as part of depression treatment remains limited. This study will examine a Behavioral Activation teletherapy intervention adapted to include a specific focus on increasing physical activity. Methods: The two-phase study will include a preliminary pilot study (n = 15) to evaluate and refine the manualized intervention using a mixed-methods approach followed by a single-arm study to evaluate feasibility and preliminary efficacy of the adapted BA teletherapy. Participants will be adults, age 18–64, with moderate to severe depressive symptoms (defined as a PHQ-9 score ≥10) and who currently engage in 90 min or less of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity. Individuals will be excluded if they have a current or past manic or hypomanic episode, psychosis, schizophrenia or schizophreniform disorder, or active suicidal ideation, or if not medically-cleared to exercise. The BA intervention will consist of 8 weekly sessions, followed by 2 bi-weekly booster sessions. Feasibility outcomes will include metrics of screening, enrollment, intervention adherence and fidelity, and participant retention. Intervention preliminary efficacy will be evaluated through assessment of changes in depressive symptoms and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity. Conclusion: Data from this trial will be used to support the conduct of a randomized controlled trial to evaluate the efficacy of the adapted BA intervention. |
