简要总结
The current randomized controlled trial is a pilot study that will assess the effectiveness and feasibility of a mobile phone application intervention. The objective is to determine whether the use of a mobile health application for patient self-management of depression improves patient-provider engagement for patients diagnosed with major depressive disorder.
详细描述
This pilot study will be a randomized, real-world effectiveness study. Patients diagnosed with major depressive disorder starting a new prescription for an antidepressant monotherapy will be eligible for participation. The study will enroll 40 patients (20 in an observational arm of usual care and 20 with access to a mobile health application). No intervention will occur in the usual care arm. The intervention in this study is a mobile health app, which provides patients with a way to track emotional wellbeing and depression symptoms, set up medication reminders, track adherence to medications, record side effects experienced, and take surveys/tests to assess cognitive symptoms and depression. Patient reported outcomes and clinical data will be collected at baseline and at study primary endpoint (18 weeks) to assess changes over time and between groups for: patient-provider engagement, disease severity, quality of life, employment productivity, cognitive function, resource utilization, and medication adherence. Additionally, resource utilization will be assessed at the one year time point. A Student's t test, if allowed for by the data distribution, will be used to assess between group differences in patient reported outcome scales assessing patient-provider engagement.

结局指标
主要结局
Patient-provider engagement
时间窗: 18 weeks
This will be assessed by the Patient-Provider Engagement Scale (PPES-7), an instrument developed for this study to measure patient knowledge, communication, and interaction with their provider specific to depression management.
Patient activation
时间窗: 18 weeks
This will be assessed by the Patient Activation Measure, a validated scale that measures patient knowledge, skills and confidence in disease self-management in the primary care setting.
次要结局
- WHO-5 survey(18 weeks)
- Depression symptoms(18 weeks)
- Cognitive dysfunction(18 weeks)
- Medication changes(18 weeks)
- Health care utilization(18 weeks)
