Healthy Heart Habits-2
Sponsor: The Miriam Hospital
Summary
Sixty adults who have experienced acute coronary syndrome within the past 2-12 months from three states (Rhode Island, North Carolina, Minnesota) will be randomized to either (1) a coaching program for depressed mood and health behavior change (Behavioral Activation for Health and Depression; BA-HD), or (2) Enhanced Usual Care. This study will evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of study procedures and BA-HD, and establish protocol and measurement harmonization across three sites in preparation for a future multi-site efficacy trial.

Interventions
Behavioral Activation for Health and Depression (BA-HD)
BA-HD includes 8 - 10 sessions delivered over 10-12 weeks. Sessions use behavioral activation techniques to connect patient core values with goal-setting targeting activities that improve mood, alongside personalized adjustments to cardiovascular health behaviors (i.e., tobacco cessation, medication adherence, physical activity, diet, and sleep). Educational materials and commercially available tools like activity trackers, pillboxes, and portion control aids will accompany the goal-setting process to facilitate behavior change.
Enhanced Usual Care
Patients will receive depression and heart disease education, as well as a list of local mental health resources.
