Depression Clinical Trial

Official title: Substudy of Protocol NCT03843957: Effect of mPATH on Screening for Depression, Fall Risk, and Safety

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

This is a sub-study for data analysis of data collected as part of the larger randomized controlled trial "Effectiveness and Implementation of mPATH-CRC" (NCT03843957) to determine if self-administered screening with an iPad increases the detection of patients with depression, falls, and intimate partner violence.

Clinical Trial Description

As part of the parent study (NCT0343957), investigators developed an iPad program called mPATH that patients use at their primary care clinician's office to encourage colorectal cancer screening. To encourage practices to use mPATH with every patient, the investigators included in the program the health system's required screening items for depression, fall risk, and intimate partner violence, thereby offloading this routine task from clinical staff. It is possible that mPATH will increase detection of depression, fall risk, and intimate partner violence because: 1) mPATH systematically asks these screening items of all patients, and 2) patients may feel more comfortable answering these items on an iPad survey than during an in-person interview.

To determine the effect of mPATH on the performance of this screening, investigators will examine a limited use dataset comparing the 2 months before a clinic started using mPATH to the 2 months after the clinic began using mPATH. Because clinics may need some time to fully adopt mPATH, investigators will exclude the first two weeks following the launch of mPATH. ;
