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.

该项目进一步开发并评估了一种教学CD-ROM产品，即态度MPOPATIREMENT研讨会，用于教授应对抑郁症的应对技巧。该产品通过扩大内容并增强交互性和多媒体组件来扩展I期原型的证明的希望。抑郁疾病的患病率和影响表明需要低成本，可访问的干预措施。数字技术可以使个性化，引人入胜且有效的学习经验有效地分配有效的质量分布。基于彼得·勒温索恩（Peter Lewinsohn）博士及其同事开发的抑郁干预措施的应对，其态度MSPower研讨会已得到经验证实，可有效地减轻抑郁症。将添加一个新的模块，即体育锻炼，以响应改善情绪的体育锻炼功效。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来分配大规模分配。此外，还将开发多媒体培训材料，以向针对最终用户开出产品的专业人员提供指导。该产品的功效将通过在一年内衡量其附加值，以在初级卫生保健环境中提供的“通常护理”抑郁干预措施来测量其附加值。拟议的商业应用：该研究将评估交互式CD-ROM产品的功效，该产品可能有助于美国在美国患有抑郁症或抑郁症状的人。该产品将适合通过既定的心理健康和卫生保健机构，包括健康维护组织，初级保健诊所，员工援助计划和健康保险组织分发。
