Clinical Trial Summary

This single-group trial will evaluate the feasibility and preliminary effect of a novel group-based cognitive behavioral therapy program for older adults with elevated depressive symptoms. Participants will complete the program remotely in small groups.


Clinical Trial Description

Depression affects up to 40% of homebound seniors, but most do not receive psychotherapy due to various access barriers. This study focuses on developing community-based solutions to reduce access barriers. In a previously approved project HUM00207612, the investigators tested the feasibility of a novel internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy (iCBT) program called Empower@Home. This study will test an adapted version of Empower@Home called Empower@Home: Connected that is delivered in a group format and also addresses social isolation and loneliness. Recruitment methods include 1) referrals from social service agencies, 2) advertisements on social media, local news outlets, and the program website, and 3) research participant registries. The intervention involves attending 9 group sessions. The sessions are facilitated by a mental health professional and involve psychoeducational material, cognitive-behavioral therapy exercises, and socialization. Sessions will occur on 9 consecutive weeks and will last approximately 90 minutes. Participants will complete a comprehensive baseline assessment and post-test. Each assessment will take between 40-60 minutes to complete over the phone. Recruitment will occur between January and April 2023, 20-25 participants will be recruited. All participants will receive the intervention. ;
