Storytelling Video Intervention for Depressed Primary Care Patients - Pilot Trial

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Major Depressive Disorder

In brief

The overall aim of this program of research is to refine and test a newly developed storytelling video intervention (sTVi) for depressed primary care patients. The purpose of the proposed project is to establish the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effects of the intervention for an eventual large-scale randomized clinical trial which would test the efficacy of sTVi in comparison to a control condition. To achieve the specific aims, the investigators will conduct a pilot randomized clinical trial (n = 40), with two treatment arms: antidepressant treatment as usual (aTAU) + sTVI vs aTAU + attention control videos.
