Brief summary

This research study is being conducted to understand if patients benefit from mobile health interventions while waiting for in-clinic mental health treatments, and to understand which patients receive the most benefit.

Detailed description

Initially, results-reporting was planned for 12-month data. However, following 6-week data collection, the participants received other care, so the decision was made to report on the 6-week data.

Interventions

BEHAVIORALEnhanced Feedback + Standard Feedback

Standard Feedback (SF) All participants will receive the standard feedback that is standard feedback from the activity trackers. Feedback includes activity level, heart rate, and progress toward daily activity goals on the device itself. Enhanced Feedback (EF) Participants randomized to receive enhanced feedback will receive this feedback from the MyDataHelps study app. This includes varying types of text and visual feedback based on data collected through the app. Feedback will be displayed to participants on a dashboard in the app or delivered via pop-up notifications. Participants will receive a combination of text and visual feedback.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Change in Depression as Measured by the Patient Health Questionnaire 9 (PHQ-9)Up to 6 weeksThe PHQ-9 was a multipurpose instrument for screening, diagnosing, monitoring and measuring the severity of depression. The PHQ-9 incorporated self-report questions on 9 specific depression symptoms that align with the DSM-IV depression diagnostic criteria. PHQ-9 scores ranged from 0-27, with 0 indicating no depression and 27 indicating severe depression.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Mood as Measured by the Mental Health App AssessmentDaily up to 6 weeksParticipants were asked a single question, On a scale of 1 to 10, what was your average mood today? Scores were averaged over follow-up periods with lower scores indicating worse moods and higher scores indicating better moods.
Change in Suicide Risk as Measured by the Positive and Negative Suicide Ideation Inventory - Positive Ideation (PANSI-PI)Up to 6 weeksThe PANSI-PI subscale consisted of 6 items. The possible total scores on the PANSI-PI subscale ranged from 6 to 30. Lower scores on the PANSI-PI reflected greater risk for suicidal behavior.
Change in Suicide Risk as Measured by the Positive and Negative Suicide Ideation Inventory - Negative Suicide Ideation (PANSI-NSI)Up to 6 weeksThe PANSI-NSI subscale was composed of 8 items. The possible total score on the PANSI-NSI ranged from 8 to 40. Higher scores on the PANSI-NSI reflected greater risk for suicidal behavior.
Change in Anxiety as Measured Using the Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-Item (GAD-7) ScaleUp to 6 weeksGAD-7 consisted of the total score for seven items ranging from 0 to 21. Scores of 5, 10, and 15 represented cut points for mild, moderate, and severe anxiety, respectively.
Substance Use as Measured by the Alcohol, Smoking, and Substance Involvement Screening Test (ASSIST)Up to 6 weeksThe ASSIST Global Continuum of Illicit Drug Risk Score ranged from 0 to 308, with higher scores indicating greater risk. Results reflect the participants who indicated they had consumed any alcohol, smoked, or used an illicit substance when asked.
