Primary outcomePrimary: Change in Self-report Measure of Depressive Symptoms — 13.90; 13.43; 7.00; 7.57 score on PHQ-9
Summary
This study aims to test the effectiveness of a computer-assisted cognitive behavioral therapy for depression among rural adults. The intervention, called Raising Our Spirits Together (ROST), was developed via a community-based participatory approach and will be delivered in small groups, facilitated by local pastors. Groups will be held virtually, or in-person at two churches in rural Michigan. Eighty-four individuals will be recruited from Hillsdale, Michigan, to test the effect of ROST on depressive symptoms, compared to an Enhanced Control Condition (ECC).
