Clinical Trial Summary

Measurement-based care (MBC) is an evidence-based practice that incorporates routine outcome assessment using validated rating scales to guide collaborative clinical decision-making. Although MBC results in improved outcomes for patients with major depressive disorder (MDD), there are barriers to its broad implementation in clinical settings. The use of "enhanced" MBC (eMBC), with mobile apps that allow patients to track outcomes and engage in self-management via WeChat, may address some of these barriers. The investigators hypothesize that implementation with eMBC using WeChat will be superior to standard MBC implementation using paper-pencil assessments at the clinic, for both implementation and clinical outcomes.


Clinical Trial Description

The investigators present a trial protocol for a 2-arm cluster randomized controlled trial (RCT) with a hybrid implementation-effectiveness design comparing standard MBC implementation versus eMBC implementation with 6-month follow up in 12 mental health centers in Shanghai, China. The eMBC implementation uses a WeChat mini-program that includes outcome tracking using brief questionnaires and self-management lessons supplemented with support by a lay coach via WeChat. ;
