Activity Engagement (AE) group
ABI
SESSION
AE participants received no specific encouragement to increase activity engagement between sessions or to overcome barriers to activity participation in everyday life. Rather, they were told that they would complete potentially rewarding activities during sessions. At the start of the 8 weeks, participants were told that one approach to increasing activities was to “learn by doing” and as part of the group they will take part in potentially reinforcing/enjoyable activities. Participants were offered suggestions, such as card games and “pub quizzes,” and were encouraged to suggest activities (including repeating an activity from a previous session). Session content was based on typical ABI charity activities. Over the course of the 8 sessions, participants were encouraged to jointly discuss which activities they would like to complete.
