Brief Summary: The overall aim of this program of research is to develop a collaborative narrative intervention for patients with depression being treated in primary care.

The purpose of the proposed project is to establish the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effects of our newly developed narrative intervention on depression.

To achieve the specific aims, the investigators will conduct an open trial to further develop and refine the intervention (n = 10).
Detailed Description: The public health impact of existing treatments for major depression is limited by our ability to disseminate those treatments. There is a particular need to find innovative ways to disseminate key principles of empirically supported psychotherapy in primary care settings. Narrative communication is an alternative way to disseminate psychotherapy behavior change principles. Narrative communication refers to "storytelling" -real people talking about their struggles and successful ways of coping. An advantage of narrative communication is that it can be easily distributed (by video) and may reach people who do not have access to other technologies or who experience barriers to traditional psychotherapy. We propose that key principles of a type of cognitive-behavioral therapy (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT) can be readily disseminated through a video storytelling intervention. ACT is an empirically supported therapy for depression. Together with a video production firm with a record of working in healthcare and developing documentary-style videos, we will produce a storytelling video intervention (sTVi).

Our aim is to conduct a small open trial (n = 10) of antidepressant medication treatment as usual + sTVi. Assessments will occur at baseline and 4 weeks (post-treatment). We will examine the feasibility and acceptability of sTVi (e.g., uptake and completion of sTVi, engagement with videos, and understanding of key ACT principles) and of this research design. We will examine treatment effects (within relevant confidence intervals) on outcomes (e.g., depression severity). We will examine change in potential mechanisms, i.e., ACT-consistent coping strategies derived from key ACT principles.
