Do you want to improve your mood? Need help starting an exercise program?   The University of Washington is looking for adults aged 45 and over with spinal cord injury and depressed mood to take part in a research study. We are conducting a study to test the effect of exercise on mood.   ·         Participation is by mail and telephone only, and people living anywhere in the United States are eligible. ·         You would take part in one or more phone calls to help you become more physically active. ·         You would also complete phone-based counselor assessments and mailed surveys at three different times throughout the study. The surveys ask about your experience with pain, fatigue, and other symptoms in addition to questions about your participation in daily activities, mood and general outlook. ·         You would be asked to wear a watch-sized activity monitor for three 1-week periods. ·         All participants will receive a free exercise DVD. ·         The study will be done over a 6 month period and you will be compensated up to $120.   Interested?
