This project further develops and evaluates an instructional CD-ROM product, the Attitude mPowerment Workshop, for teaching coping skills for managing depression. The product extends the demonstrated promise of the Phase I prototype by broadening the content and enhancing the interactivity and multimedia components. The prevalence and impact of depressive illness demonstrates the need for low cost, accessible interventions. Digital technology makes possible efficient mass distribution of an individualized, engaging and effective learning experience. The Attitude mPowerment Workshop, based on the Coping With Depression intervention developed by Dr. Peter Lewinsohn and his Associates, has been empirically validated as effective in alleviating depression. A new module, Physical Activity, will be added in response to the demonstrated efficacy of physical activity for improving mood. The product will be suitable for mass distribution through health and mental health care institutions, health maintenance organizations, health insurance companies and employee assistance programs. In addition, multimedia training materials will be developed to provide instruction to professionals who prescribe the product to end-users. The efficacy of the product will be studied by measuring its added value over a one year period to a "usual care" depression intervention provided in primary health care settings. PROPOSED COMMERCIAL APPLICATION: The research will evaluate the efficacy of an interactive CD-ROM product that can potentially assist tens of millions of people in the United States who suffer from depression or depressive symptoms. The product will be appropriate for distribution through established mental health and health care institutions, including health maintenance organizations, primary care clinics, employee assistance programs and health insurance organizations.

该项目进一步开发和评估了一种教学光盘产品--态度动力工作坊，用于教授应对抑郁症的技巧。该产品通过拓宽内容并增强互动性和多媒体组件，扩展了第一阶段原型所展示的承诺。抑郁症的流行和影响表明需要低成本、可获得的干预措施。数字技术使个性化、引人入胜和有效的学习体验的有效大规模分发成为可能。基于Peter Lewinsohn博士和他的同事开发的应对抑郁干预的态度mPowerment研讨会，已经被经验验证在缓解抑郁方面有效。将增加一个新的模块，体力活动，以回应证明的体力活动改善情绪的有效性。该产品将适合通过健康和精神保健机构、健康维护组织、健康保险公司和员工援助计划进行大规模分发。此外，还将开发多媒体培训材料，为向最终用户开出产品处方的专业人员提供指导。该产品的疗效将通过在一年内对初级卫生保健环境中提供的“常规护理”抑郁症干预措施的附加值进行测量来进行研究。拟议的商业应用：这项研究将评估一种交互式CD-ROM产品的效果，该产品可能会帮助美国数千万患有抑郁症或抑郁症状的人。该产品将适合通过现有的精神健康和保健机构进行分销，包括健康维护机构、初级保健诊所、员工援助计划和健康保险组织。
