 Supervised Treadmill intervention to Reduce Inflammation and Depression through Exercise in HIV: The STRIDE Pilot Study
REFNo: HS3358ES

The objective of this study is to determine the feasibility and acceptability of an aerobic intervention via a treadmill among individuals with HIV and depression in Uganda.
3.1 Primary Endpoint: Feasibility and acceptability of Exercise as a treatment for depression in Ugandans with HIV. This will be measured by:
-Percent completion of the prescribed aerobic exercise intervention, as assessed by research staff logging participation.

3.2 Secondary Endpoint(s)/ Outcome(s):
- acceptability of the intervention assessed via a post intervention survey
-feasibility and acceptability of using a wearable exercise tracker to assess the volume of exercise, based on calories burned and steps achieved, during the intervention period among Ugandans with HIV and depression.
- measure the mean and standard deviation of baseline and 8-week serum BDNF and IL-6 level to estimate an effect size and power a future study.
- measure the mean and standard deviation of baseline and 8-week depression score via PHQ-9 to estimate an effect size and power a future study.
- measure the mean and standard deviation in aerobic fitness baseline and at 8 weeks measured via METS/watts achieved and total time/distance to estimate the effect size for a future intervention.

 Hong Kong 2023-08-25 8:07:30 2026-08-25 4800 The study population will include participants aged 18 to 90 years old. Both male and female participants are included in the study. ICM will first choose communities and identify 30 ultra-poor households for its Transform program (administered across control and treatment groups). Eligibility for Transform is determined using poverty assessment via an asset-based scoring and self-reported household income. Historically, there have been an average of 30 households per community. With a target sample size of 160 communities, we will have approximately 4,800 households in the study. ICM targets communities to receive a Transform program based on the proportion of community members living in ultra-poverty (less than USD $0.50/person/day).Participants who are above the threshold using the poverty assessment will be excluded from the study. Households also cannot participate in the study if they have previously received the Transform program, unless the implementation team overrides the score due to specific circumstances that only affect a minority of participants.
