DEVICE

Electronic Self-Management Resource Training for Mental Health

eSMART-MH is a software, which is set in a 3-D virtual primary care office environment in which a subject interacts with avatar virtual healthcare staff (medical receptionist, medical assistant, providers, and a virtual healthcare coach). The avatars are programed to behave like humans. The subject moves through the 3-D virtual primary care office and encounters virtual healthcare staff and providers. The subject practices discussing depressive symptoms with avatar healthcare providers and practices self-management skills related to symptoms of depression.The subject also interacts with the health care coach. The health care coach provides the subject with real-time strategies to enhance communication with healthcare providers during their virtual office visit. Overtime, coaching is decreased to build the the subject's self-confidence. eSMART-MH will be used once a month, for three months.

BEHAVIORAL

Screen-based health education

Screen-based health education will be used and cover topics like depression, nutrition, physical activity, and sleep hygiene at the same frequency as the eSMART-MH intervention, which is used once a month, for three months.
