GET ActivE Study for At-risk Youth
This study, called GET ActivE, is looking at whether an app called Vira, combined with support from a health coach, can help teenagers aged 12-18 who are dealing with depression and anhedonia (a reduced ability to feel pleasure). You would be randomly assigned to one of two groups: either using the Vira app with health coaching (GET ActivE) or using an app that tracks activity without coaching. The researchers want to see if the GET ActivE approach is practical, acceptable, and helps improve feelings of pleasure and reduce depression and suicidal thoughts. The study aims to enroll 75 participants, but its current status is unclear.

What this trial measures
- GET ActivE Feasibility3 months
The study will observe high GET ActivE intervention feasibility (50% of eligible youth approached will enroll; completion \>50%; attrition \<20%)
- Response to Health coach contacts3 months
Participants will respond to health coach contacts \>80%
- GET ActivE AcceptabilityPost intervention follow up; up to 3 months
Acceptability of the GET ActivE intervention will be assessed through the 4 item Acceptability of Intervention Measure (AIM). Individual item scores are summed. Scale values range from 1 to 5. No items are reverse scored. Higher scores indicate greater acceptability. The items include questions to determine if intervention is appealing to, liked by, welcomed by, and approved by study population.
- GET ActivE AppropriatenessPost intervention follow up; up to 3 months
Intervention appropriateness of the GET ActivE intervention will be assessed through 4 item Intervention Appropriateness Measure (IAM). Individual item scores are summed. Scale values range from 1 to 5. No items are reverse scored. Higher scores indicate greater appropriateness. The items include questions to determine if intervention is a good match, fitting, suitable, or seems applicable to the study population.
