This study is testing a program called Lifestyle Physical Activity (LPA) to help women who are in alcohol treatment and also experience depression. The goal is to see if LPA can help prevent them from returning to drinking alcohol. You would either receive the LPA program, which includes counseling and a Fitbit, or just a Fitbit to track your activity. Researchers will compare these two groups to see if the LPA program helps more. To join, you need to be a woman between 18 and 65, have certain depression symptoms, be currently in alcohol treatment, and not be very active. The study aims to enroll 214 women and will measure how many remain abstinent from alcohol after 12 months.

Study design

This is an interventional study that will enroll 214 women. Participants will be randomly assigned to either the Lifestyle Physical Activity (LPA) + Fitbit group or the Fitbit Only control group.

What's involved

You would participate in an orientation session, six telephone counseling sessions (if in the LPA group), and have your activity monitored with a Fitbit. You would also complete follow-up assessments at 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, and 12 months, along with three 10-day periods of ecological momentary assessment (EMA).

Compensation
