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.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change in Depression as Measured by the Patient Health Questionnaire 9 (PHQ-9)Up to 6 weeks

The 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 Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Mood as Measured by the Mental Health App AssessmentDaily up to 6 weeks

Participants 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 weeks

The 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 weeks

The 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 weeks

GAD-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 weeks

The 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.
