5. Study Description

Brief Summary
Depression and other unhealthy behaviors, such as not taking medication as prescribed and not attending doctor visits have been suggested to increase the worsening of allergic diseases (e.g. asthma, urticaria). We intend to determine whether a one-session behavioral intervention is effective in helping with depression and controlling disease symptoms. We will measure this using pre- and post-intervention surveys.
Detailed Description
The purpose of this research study is to investigate whether a one-session behavioral activation intervention for depression can successfully reduce depression and improve asthma or urticaria disease-relevant outcomes (medication adherence, doctor's visits, substance abuse) in clinical patients with asthma or urticaria who report heightened levels of depression and are seen in the UMMC Allergy Clinic.
