{ "Peer-Delivered Behavioral Activation for Depression and Substance Use", "This study is looking at a program called Peer Activate, which is a type of behavioral activation (BA) therapy. BA helps people increase positive activities to improve their mood. In this study, Peer Activate is delivered by peer recovery specialists (people who have personal experience with mental health or substance use recovery) to help individuals with major depressive disorder and substance use disorders. The study also compares this to general support services provided by peers. Researchers want to see if Peer Activate can reduce symptoms of depression and substance use. You might be able to join if you are 18 or older and have significant symptoms of depression. The study will measure changes in depression symptoms over about 12 months.", "design": "This interventional study plans to enroll 250 participants. It compares two different behavioral interventions delivered by peer recovery specialists.", "commitments": "You would participate in either the Peer Activate program or receive non-specific peer services. Your depression symptoms will be measured at the start, after about 3 months, and then again at 6 and 12 months.", "compensation": "Not stated in the trial record.", "follow_up": "Participants will be followed for approximately 12 months after starting the study interventions.", }
