Clinical Trial Description

This is a 6-month randomized, wait-listed, controlled pilot trial conducted in 6 department of family medicine (DFM) clinics at the University of Michigan (UM). We will enroll physicians practicing at a UM DFM clinical site who are willing to utilize PGx test results in conjunction with treating patients prescribed certain antidepressants. We will also enroll patients of these DFM physicians who are adults with a new prescription for an antidepressant (within the past 4 weeks) including patients who have switched to a new antidepressant from another antidepressant or have added on a new antidepressant to current antidepressant therapy. Patients are excluded if taking an antidepressant for more than 4 weeks or if they have had PGx testing in the past. Patients will be randomized to either an intervention or control group. Patients in the intervention group will have PGx test results available soon after enrollment while the control patients will have test results available 3 months after the first visit. All patients will complete a baseline, 3-, and 6-month assessment; control patients will have an additional 9-month assessment. Data to be collected include symptoms and severity (PHQ-8, GAD7), functional health status (SF-12), PGx knowledge, work status changes, demographic information, physician and emergency department visits, adverse effects, and medication alterations and adherence. ;
