Depression Decision Aid: Feasibility Pilot

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The goal of this proposed pilot study is to test the feasibility and acceptability of a Depression Decision Aid (DDA) protocol integrated into the Electronic Health Record (EHR) and used by nurses with depressed ambulatory care patients. The Depression Decision Aid protocol is a streamlined adaptation of an in-person Shared Decision-Making (SDM) intervention, and its goal is to increase patient involvement in clinically appropriate treatment decision-making as a way of strengthening treatment engagement and outcomes. The protocol guides ambulatory care nurses in helping depressed patients (Patient Health Questionnaire-9 [PHQ-9] >10) develop informed treatment preferences through a process of education and values clarification. We will target patients in the general medical clinic, whether currently receiving depression treatment or not, because depression is highly prevalent but often poorly managed in this population.

Clinical Trial Description

The aims of this project are to evaluate the acceptability and feasibility of an electronic Depression Decision Aid protocol with nurses and patients using questionnaire and administrative data.

One to two nurses will deliver the Decision Aid protocol to 40 low-income patients (aged 21 and over) scoring >10 via routine PHQ-9 screening. Consenting nurses will be assessed regarding their satisfaction with the protocol following its use with each patient subject. Nurse fidelity to the protocol will be evaluated via their documentation of protocol use in the EHR. Consenting patient subjects will be assessed at baseline; week 1 to determine their decision about depression treatment, satisfaction with the decision-making process; and week 12 to determine treatment initiation or change, treatment adherence, and depressive status. Medical records will also be examined for documentation of medication prescription and other depression treatments.

The study will test the following hypothesis concerning the Depression Decision Aid protocol:

1. Feasibility and Acceptability: a) At least 85% of each nurse's intervention sessions will meet fidelity standards via Electronic Health Record (EHR) data; b) Nurses will report high levels of satisfaction with the Decision Aid; c) Patients will report high levels of satisfaction with the decision-making process; ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
