is glare free. The light measures 4 inches x 21 inches x 16 inches and weighs 3 pounds. Four lights were purchased for this study and the cost was $113.71 per light. Each participant was given a light to use in his or her home for the duration of the study and will be asked to complete 14-consecutive sessions of BLT at 10,000 lux. Each session was 60 minutes in length. Timing of light therapy administration was the most essential element of this treatment and consistency was heavily stressed to the participant. Participants were instructed to utilize their light immediately after waking and by 9:00 am. They were instructed to place the light box on a flat surface at an angle of approximately 30° to their body, with their eyes at mid-fixture level. They were also instructed not to stare directly at the light. It was acceptable to perform activities while undergoing light therapy, such as reading, as long as the individual remained seated facing the light. Because the efficacy of BLT depends on the consistency of administration, each participant was asked to email, text, or phone the researcher upon completion of their therapy each day. Each time a participant confirmed they had completed their light therapy at the appropriate time each day, the researcher compensated the individual $4.00. If it had been more than 1 days without correspondence, the researcher contacted the participant for follow up. Procedure Screening Procedure Once a participant expressed interest in the study, he/she was asked to complete a brief phone screen to determine eligibility. If the participant was eligible for participation they were scheduled for a baseline appointment. 33
