认知行为和信仰团契改善您的健康 (CB-FAITH)

CB-FAITH is a behavioral depression intervention set inside a cognitive behavioral framework, and Afrocentric paradigm and informed by faith-based principles, designed to treat major depressive disorder among African American adults. The 13-treatment modules focus on increasing knowledge of depression and healthy coping behaviors. It is designed to be co-delivered by licensed mental health clinicians and pastors at churches.

Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) is a self-administered depression scale (5 minute completion time), which scores each of the 9 DSM-IV criteria as "0" (not at all) to "3" (nearly every day).

Categories of depression symptoms are defined as none (score 0-4), mild (score 5-9), moderate (score 10-14), moderately severe (score 15-19), and severe (score ≥20). In addition to making criteria-based diagnoses of depressive disorders, the PHQ-9 is also a reliable and valid measure of depression severity.

The 16-item Quick Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology (QIDS) assesses depressive symptom severity and symptom change. Investigators will use the clinician rated QIDS-CR. Scores range from 0-27 and higher scores suggest higher severity of depression.

Religiosity will be measured with the Multidimensional Measure of Religious Involvement (MMRI), a three-dimensional measure of religious involvement, consisting of organizational (frequency of service attendance), non-organizational (use of and frequency of nonorganized activities, such as watching religious programs on TV), and subjective religiosity (self-rated level of religiosity, such as significance of prayer and orientation toward God).

It consists of 12 items and is self administered (5-10-minute completion time). Using Likert-scale responses, ranging from: 1 = very religious, 2 = fairly religious, 3 = not too religious, and 4 = not religious at all.

Client Satisfaction Inventory (CSI), an 8-item measure of satisfaction with counseling; total scores range from 8 to 32, with the higher number indicating greater satisfaction. The CSI will be self-administered.
