This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing a new approach called GET ActivE that combines a mobile app with one-on-one support from a health coach to help teenagers with depression and anhedonia (loss of interest in activities). The app tracks your daily activity and sends you encouraging messages and reminders from your coach to help you do more activities that could improve your mood. Researchers think that by gently nudging you to be more active, you might start to feel better and more motivated.
Many teenagers struggle with depression and lose interest in things they used to enjoy, and traditional treatments don't always work well for everyone. This trial is testing whether a personalized, tech-based approach with real human support might help more teens feel better by getting them moving and reconnecting with activities that bring joy.

If you join, you'll be randomly placed into one of two groups. One group uses just an activity-tracking app that sends you weekly summaries by text. The other group uses a more interactive app plus regular contact with a trained health coach who will check in with you by text, phone, video call, or chat to encourage you to do activities and support your mood. Either way, you'll be asked to use the app on your phone and participate in the study for several weeks, with check-ins to measure how you're feeling.
