Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the prevalence of veterans with major depressive disorder (MDD) who are being treated with a medication that has current Clinical Pharmacogenetics Implementation Consortium (CPIC) or Pharmacogenomics Knowledgebase (PharmGKB) actionable recommendations that have a pharmacogenomic variation that impacts the safety or efficacy of the subject medication.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Rate of pharmacogenomic variation with actionable recommendations for medications currently utilizedAt enrollment

A medication history will be conducted at enrollment to ensure patient meets criteria for enrollment. Patients will provide a saliva sample at this timepoint. The rate of pharmacogenomic variation will be calculated based on current medications at enrollment; however, the pharmacogenomic screening panel may take up to 6 weeks to return to the patient and investigator.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Type of pharmacogenomic recommendations made and accepted3-, 6-, and 12-months post-recommendation via retrospective chart review
Medication-related adverse events3-, 6-, and 12-months post-recommendation via retrospective chart review
Patient reported reasons for non-adherence3-, 6-, and 12-months post-recommendation via retrospective chart review
Rate of pharmacogenomic variation with actionable recommendations for all actionable medicationsAt enrollment
Patient reported medication adherence and reasons for non-adherence3-, 6-, and 12-months post-recommendation via retrospective chart review
Mental health disease state control/progression utilizing disease state-specific validated tools3-, 6-, and 12-months post-recommendation via retrospective chart review

Validated, disease state-specific tools will be utilized to assess control or progression. Specifically, depression control will be assessed utilizing PHQ-9 as documented within the chart. This will be assessed via retrospective chart review.

Number of primary care, mental health provider, mental health pharmacist, specialist, and emergency room visits and hospitalizations3-, 6-, and 12-months post-recommendation via retrospective chart review
Type of non-pharmacogenomic recommendations made and accepted3-, 6-, and 12-months post-recommendation via retrospective chart review
Medication-related costs3-, 6-, and 12-months post-recommendation via retrospective chart review

Claims data will be used to assess medication-related costs at specific time points.
