Summary

This trial tests whether a structured, culturally adapted home-based exercise program helps Afghan women with mild to moderate depression stay active compared to routine exercise advice. About 60 women aged 18-50 will be randomly assigned to either the exercise program or usual care with general advice. Over 8 weeks, researchers will track exercise adherence and measure changes in depression symptoms, daily functioning, and satisfaction.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
A structured, culturally adapted home-based exercise program
What this could lead to
If effective, this program could offer a practical, culturally sensitive way to support Afghan women with depression and encourage regular physical activity.
What could go wrong
The trial is small (60 participants) and short (8 weeks), so results may not apply broadly. Exercise adherence relies on self-reporting, and the program may not significantly improve depression symptoms.
