This project sought to expand access to depression care. We trained undergraduate students in Patient Activation, a low-intensity, evidence-informed behavioral program for mild-to-moderate depressive symptoms. Select students served as “coaches” to deliver Patient Activation with community-dwelling adults with depression.
Preliminary data was presented in a symposium at the 2020 Association for Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies (ABCT) virtual conference.

We worked with an industry partner to develop a randomized controlled trial testing their mental health app, including the use of trained coaches to supplement the self-guided app. We will examine any app benefits on depression, anxiety, stress, and other patient-centered outcomes. Data have been presented at the 2022 Anxiety & Depression Association of America (ADAA) Annual Conference (Denver, CO) and the 2022 Annual Convention of the Association for Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies (ABCT; New York, NY). The main outcomes paper is in preparation.
