A Feasibility and Preliminary Efficacy Study of an App-Based Physical Activity Intervention (MoodMover) for Depression

Sponsor: University of British Columbia

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

Exercise is recommended as a standalone treatment for mild-to-moderate depression in Canada. However, it's unclear how mental health practitioners can guide patients to structured, in-person exercise programs. In cases where such programs are not available or are unattractive to some, self-guided mobile health physical activity interventions could be a potential alternative. The investigators have been following a behavioural intervention development framework to create a 9-week, app-based physical activity intervention called MoodMover for people with depression. To evaluate the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of MoodMover, this study will employ a single-arm, pre-post experimental trial.

MoodMover

MoodMover is a 9-week app-based program aimed at increasing physical activity (PA) among individuals with depression, delivered via Pathverse. The current version of MoodMover includes one introductory module for baseline self-monitoring, eight primary modules, and eight optional supplementary modules. The program uses a variety of formats to deliver educational content, including videos, podcasts, and illustrated articles. In addition to its structured psychoeducational content, the app provides a range of behavioral features.
