The objectives of the project are as follows:1. To determine if the intervention leads to increases the frequency and variety of activities.2.

To determine which demographic and environmental factors and mechanisms of action impact the effectiveness of the intervention.4. To determine if the the intervention leads to an improvement in overall well-being (e.g., improved quality of life).Participants will be asked to attend a 2-hour weekly online session for 10 weeks and then a 1-hour online monthly session for a 3 month maintenance period.For data collection, participants will also be asked to:1. Complete three, approximately 1-hour interviews at baseline, after the 10 week intervention, and again at the end of the maintenance period;2. Carry a mobile phone with a global positioning system app to track their movements outside their home for 2 weeks at a time, at three separate times (e.g., baseline, after the intervention, and at the end of the maintenance period); and3. Complete a 15 minute weekly interviews for 26 weeks about their daily activities and participation.The study will enroll 52 participants split into 4 cohorts of 13. The study will use a multiple baseline design and, as such, all participants will receive the intervention and there is no control group., conditionsModule conditions: Major Depressive Disorder, conditions: Schizo Affective Disorder, conditions: Schizophrenia, conditions: Bipolar Disorder, designModule studyType: INTERVENTIONAL, phases: NA, designInfo allocation: NA, interventionModel: SEQUENTIAL, primaryPurpose: SUPPORTIVE_CARE, maskingInfo masking: NONE, enrollmentInfo count: 52, type: ESTIMATED, armsInterventionsModule interventions name: Behavior Activation, outcomesModule primaryOutcomes measure: Activity Logs, primaryOutcomes measure: Participation Checklist, primaryOutcomes measure: Behavior Activation for Depression Scale, primaryOutcomes measure: Temple University Community Participation Measure, primaryOutcomes measure: Community Mobility (Global Positioning System; GPS), primaryOutcomes measure: Community Mobility (Global Positioning System; GPS), secondaryOutcomes measure: Lerman Quality of Life Interview, secondaryOutcomes measure: New General Self-Efficacy Scale (adapted to participation), secondaryOutcomes measure: Recovery Assessment Scale (RAS), secondaryOutcomes measure: Activity Assessment Scale, secondaryOutcomes measure: Capabilities and Opportunities for Participation Questionnaire, secondaryOutcomes measure: Self-Control and Self-Management Scale, secondaryOutcomes measure: Habit Strength Scale, secondaryOutcomes measure: University of California Los Angeles Loneliness Scale, secondaryOutcomes measure: Lehman Quality of LIfe (QOL) Interview Social Relations sub scale, secondaryOutcomes measure: Hopkins Symptoms Checklist, secondaryOutcomes measure: The Life Engagement Test, secondaryOutcomes measure: The University of Rhode Island Change Assessment Measure (URICA), secondaryOutcomes measure: Reward Probability Index, eligibilityModule sex: ALL, minimumAge: 18 Years, stdAges: ADULT, stdAges: OLDER_ADULT, contactsLocationsModule locations facility: Temple University, status: RECRUITING, city: Philadelphia, state: Pennsylvania, zip: 19120, country: United States, contacts name: Crystal Slanzi, role: CONTACT, geoPoint lat: 39.95233, lon: -75.16379, hasResults: False
