Brief Summary
Pilot study to assess a multi-component intervention to increase physical activity in persons with depression.
Detailed Description
The research project is a pilot study to assess the effects of a multi-component intervention in increasing physical activity among persons with depression. Individuals meeting inclusion/exclusion criteria will be enrolled in the 12-week intervention. Intervention components will include self-monitoring, Active Living counseling, and facility access. Blood samples will be collected at baseline. Assessments (anxiety, stress, sleep) and sample collection will also occur at 2 time points during the intervention (Weeks 7 and 13). Changes in physical activity will be assessed using Fitbits to measure weekly minutes of moderate/vigorous activity.
