Clinical Trial Summary

The primary aim in this pilot project is to test the feasibility, acceptability and impact (decreased depressive symptoms) of a brief behavioral treatment for depression (Engage) combined with video social support (PRISM 2.0) among socially isolated/lonely case management clients who endorse depressive symptoms. Eligible participants will be offered the combination of Engage and Prism 2.0, called Engage-Prism. The investigators hypothesize that the intervention (Engage Therapy With Video Support) will be accepted by participants, improve depressive symptom, and be feasible to complete.


Clinical Trial Description

Engage is a brief therapy designed to offer a structured, stepped approach and interventions to reduce barriers to increased engagement with rewarding activities to improve depression (Alexopoulos et al, 2020). The goal is to increase participation in meaningful activities. Homebound older adults have limited social interaction given their restricted mobility and medical burden. In prior research with an intervention targeting social engagement with a technology intervention (PRISM 2.0), participants reported increased social support, decreased loneliness, increased feelings of well-being, more positive attitudes about computers, and gains in computer proficiency (Czaja et al., 2017). Participants will be referrals from case management service. Clinicians will incorporate elements of the Prism system into therapy as appropriate, and participants will be instructed to use the Prism system at their leisure or as it pertains to their chosen "reward exposure" activities. There will be a post-therapy assessment and interview about their experience with the technology at week 9. The study will conclude with follow-up assessments at week 12. ;
