A Randomized Controlled Trial of In-Home Tele-behavioral Health Care Utilizing Behavioral Activation for Depression
This study will evaluate the effectiveness of a web-based behavioral activation(BA)
treatment for depression by comparing it to in-person BA treatment in Soldiers and Veterans
with Major and Minor Depressive Disorder. We will test the hypothesis that 8 sessions of
in-home BA delivered via a webcam will be as safe and effective in reducing symptoms of
hopelessness and depression as in-person BA treatment for depression.
