Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
It is expected to find a decrease in the general result in the PHQ-9 scale in the period of one month, verified by means of the sum of the scores of the answers of the scale, from the verification of a variation of at least 5% in the pre and post-test measurements. intervention.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
It is expected to find a positive evaluation of the acceptability of the computational solution by the general result in the TAM scale in the period of one month, verified through the sum of the scores of the answers of the scale, from the verification of a sum of points above 50% of the scale items.
