Summary

In a previous study (https://osf.io/qdznc), the research team found that an 8-minute version of a single-session intervention for loneliness was more effective than a 23-minute version of it. The present work aims to further explore the relationship between intervention duration and effectiveness.

In this online trial, participants will be randomized to a 15-minute single-session depression intervention called the Action Brings Change (ABC) Program, a 10-minute version of it, a 6-minute version of it, or a 2-minute version of it. The main analysis will evaluate how change in depressive symptoms over eight weeks differs across conditions.

Conditions

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Action Brings Change Project (15-minute adult version)

The ABC Project is a self-guided online single-session intervention based on principles of behavioral activation. In a slightly different form intended for adolescents, it has demonstrated efficacy in several studies. Its adult version has also shown some efficacy.

BEHAVIORAL

Action Brings Change Project (10-minute adult version)

This is a 10-minute shortened version of the 15-minute adult version of the ABC Project. The research team created it and pilot-tested it.

BEHAVIORAL

Action Brings Change Project (6-minute adult version)

This is a 6-minute shortened version of the 15-minute adult version of the ABC Project. The research team created it and pilot-tested it.

BEHAVIORAL

Action Brings Change Project (2-minute adult version)

This is a 2-minute shortened version of the 15-minute adult version of the ABC Project. The research team created it and pilot-tested it.
