Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The investigators propose a randomized clinical trial in which 240 depressed individuals are assigned to one of three arms, with each successive arm having an added component that may serve to increase and maintain physical activity: 1. brief advice (BA) to exercise (control condition); 2. BA + supervised \& home-based exercise (SHE) + health education (HE) contact control; and 3. BA + SHE+ cognitive-behavioral sessions focused on increasing and maintaining exercise (CBEX). The primary aim is to assess and optimize the safety, feasibility, acceptability of each intervention component, as well as barriers limiting their effectiveness in order to prepare for a larger scale randomized clinical trial.
