Evaluating the Active Ingredients and Dose Response Effects of Group Interpersonal Psycho-therapy Components on Depression
REFNo: HS7468ES
1. To determine the comparative effectiveness of each core IPT-G component (psychoeducation, peer support, and problem-solving skills) in reducing depression symptoms (as measured by the PHQ-9) from baseline to post treatment, when delivered as a single session.
2. To determine feasibility and acceptability of each individual arm.
3. To assess the effect of session intensity (duration) on the efficacy of each core component by comparing outcomes across low, medium, and high intensity doses for a single session.
4. To evaluate the effect of treatment frequency (number of sessions) on the efficacy of each core component by comparing outcomes from a single session, 2, 4, and 6 sessions with enhanced treatment as usual. duration.
5. To identify interaction effects between the type of active ingredient, session intensity, and treatment frequency to determine if certain components benefit more from increased duration, increased number of sessions, or a specific combination of both.
6. To develop an optimized therapy model by synthesizing the findings to propose a stream- lined protocol that specifies the most potent components and their minimal effective dosage for reducing depression symptoms in low resource settings.
