Cognitive Training Video Game to Target Subclinical Depressive Symptoms in Youth
- Conditions
- Subclinical Depressive SymptomsDepression
- Registration Number
- NCT05697627
- Lead Sponsor
- University of Michigan
- Brief Summary
The purpose of the study is to determine how cognitive control training (CCT) changes behavior in youth with subclinical depressive symptoms. This research will show what types of behavior changes are important for CCT to help reduce depressive symptoms. In the future, this information will be used to try to improve prevention of the development of depression, so that it can help more patients.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Change in Depressive Symptoms as Measured by Children's Depression Inventory (CDI) Baseline and approximately 5 weeks after The CDI was a self-report, 27 item scale used to measure depressive symptoms. Total scores on the CDI ranged from 0 (no depressive symptoms) to 54 (extremely severe depressive symptoms). Higher scores indicated worse depressive symptoms. CDI scores were collected from participants at three timepoints: 1) baseline, 2) approximately 5 weeks after baseline, and 3) up to 4 months after baseline. Results reflect CDI scores collected at the first and second timepoints.
Change in Depressive Symptoms as Measured by Children's Depression Rating Scale - Revised (CDRS-R) Baseline and approximately 5 weeks after The CDRS-R is a clinician-administered tool used to assess the severity of depression in children and adolescents based on a 17-item scale of depressive symptoms. Total raw scores on this scale range from 17-113, with 17 indicating no or minimal depressive symptoms and 113 indicating extremely severe symptoms of depression. CDRS-R scores were collected from participants at three timepoints: 1) baseline, 2) approximately 5 weeks after baseline, and 3) up to 4 months after baseline. Results reflect CDRS-R scores collected at the first and second timepoints.
Change in Cognitive Control Capacity - Overall Reaction Time (RT) Stroop Baseline and approximately 5 weeks after The Stroop task assesses cognitive control and emotion regulation over emotional information processing by measuring how quickly individuals name the ink color of words that are emotionally-charged or neutral. For this measure, lower scores indicated better performance, i.e., better cognitive control and emotion regulation. Results reflect the average reaction time across all trials of the Stroop task that participants completed.
Change in Cognitive Control Capacity - Conflict RT Stroop Baseline and approximately 5 weeks after The Stroop task assesses cognitive control and emotion regulation over emotional information processing by measuring how quickly individuals name the ink color of words that are emotionally-charged or neutral. For this measure, lower scores indicated better performance, i.e., better cognitive control and emotion regulation. Results reflect the difference in the reaction time between incongruent trials and congruent trials on the Stroop task.
Change in Cognitive Control Capacity - Overall RT Flanker Baseline and approximately 5 weeks after The Flanker task is a psychological experiment that assesses a person's ability to focus on a target stimulus while ignoring distracting stimuli. For this measure, higher scores indicate better performance. Results reflect the average reaction time across all trials of the Flanker task that participants completed at this timepoint.

- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Children's Depression Inventory (CDI) at Third Timepoint Up to 4 months The CDI was a self-report, 27 item scale used to measure depressive symptoms. Total scores on the CDI ranged from 0 (no depressive symptoms) to 54 (extremely severe depressive symptoms). Higher scores indicated worse depressive symptoms. CDI scores were collected from participants at three timepoints: 1) baseline, 2) approximately 5 weeks after baseline, and 3) up to 4 months after baseline. Results reflect CDI scores collected at the third timepoint.
Depressive Symptoms as Measured by Children's Depression Rating Scale - Revised (CDRS-R) at Third Timepoint Up to 4 months The CDRS-R is a clinician-administered tool used to assess the severity of depression in children and adolescents based on a 17-item scale of depressive symptoms. Total raw scores on this scale range from 17-113, with 17 indicating no or minimal depressive symptoms and 113 indicating extremely severe symptoms of depression.

For this measure, lower scores indicated better performance, i.e., better cognitive control and emotion regulation. Results reflect the average reaction time across all trials of the Stroop task that participants completed at this timepoint.

For this measure, lower scores indicated better performance, i.e., better cognitive control and emotion regulation. Results reflect the difference in the reaction time between incongruent trials and congruent trials on the Stroop task.
