Social Isolation Clinical Trial
— COPING CREWOfficial title:
Acceptability/Feasibility of COVID-19 Intervention of a Virtual Group Intervention for COVID-19 Distress
The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is a significant psychological stressor that threatens the onset of a mental health crisis in the US. Fear and anxiety about COVID-19 and its economic impact, as well as loneliness due to the required social isolation, are driving the mental health impacts of COVID-19; in a recent Kaiser Family Foundation poll, 45% of respondents reported that the coronavirus has had a negative impact on their mental health. This is reflected in Southeastern Ohio. In data that the investigators collected from 317 Ohio University faculty, staff, and students from late May to early June, 39% reported moderate-to-severe levels of anxiety, 41% reported moderate-to-severe levels of depression and 57% reported the COVID-19 outbreak was impacting their sense of social connection much or very much. Despite the significant community need for accessible and affordable care, there are currently no evidence-based interventions for individuals coping poorly with coronavirus-related distress. The investigators have developed a virtual group-based intervention targeting cognitive biases that amplify the experience of stress and anxiety (i.e., amplifying cognitions; Coping with Coronavirus-Related Emotion and Worry [COPING CREW]). The next step in developing this intervention in a scientifically rigorous manner is to refine the manual and procedures and conduct a pilot test of the intervention.

Type | Measure | Description | Time frame | Safety issue |
---|---|---|---|---|
Primary | Satisfaction with the intervention as assessed by Client Satisfaction Questionnaire-8 | The Client Satisfaction Questionnaire-8 is a 8-item self-report scale that assesses client satisfaction with a particular intervention/program. The Client Satisfaction Questionnaire-8 is completed by rating satisfaction with services on a 1-4 Likert-type scale. Possible total scores range from 8 to 32. Greater satisfaction is indicated by higher scores. | Immediately after the intervention | |
Primary | Feasibility of service as assessed by response rates for the Ecological Momentary Assessment/Ecological Momentary Intervention component of the intervention | Feasibility will also be determined based on response rates for Ecological Momentary Assessment/Ecological Momentary Intervention. If 80% of participants respond to 80% of the EMA prompts, this will be considered a feasible means of service delivery. | 5-week EMA/EMI, During the Intervention (Weeks 1-5) | |
Secondary | COVID-19 Impact Battery - Behavior | This 12-item scale was created to measure behavioral patterns in response to the COVID-19 outbreak. Participants responded to this scale by rating the extent to which they "have engaged in the following behaviors in response to COVID-19" using a five-point scale (from 0 = "Not at all" to 4 = "Very much"). Each of the potential behaviors listed in this scale (e.g., "Using hand sanitizer") were rated by participants. Possible total scores range from 0 to 48. A higher rate of engagement in the listed behaviors is indicated by a higher score. | Baseline, pre-intervention | |

Secondary | COVID-19 Impact Battery - Worry | This 11-item scale was created to measure worry and distress in response to the outbreak of COVID-19. The items on this measure use a five-point scale (from 0 = "Not at all" to 4 = "Very Much"). Participants used this scale to rate each item (e.g., "I worry that I will lose my employment") based on the degree to which it has caused distress. Possible total scores range from 0 to 44. Greater worry and distress is indicated by higher scores. | Baseline, pre-intervention | |

Secondary | COVID-19 Impact Battery - Disability | This 7-item scale was created to measure the presence of difficulties in response to the outbreak of COVID-19. Participants were asked to rate difficulties on a five-point scale from 0 ("None") to 4 ("Extreme or cannot do"). Participants used this scale to rate the degree of difficulties experienced in the preceding 30 days because of the COVID-19 outbreak. Possible total scores range from 0 to 28.

Secondary | Exit Interview | Participants will provide information on how to tailor the intervention, including the order of the components, the amount of homework specific to each component, and the length of time before the booster session to best meet their needs. They will provide this information in a focused feedback session in which they will respond to an investigator-created semi-structured interview. | Immediately after the intervention | |
Secondary | Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA) questions | The EMA items include several investigator designed questions asking participants about the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, sleep quality, and in-the-moment ratings of anxiety, depression, stress, and loneliness. These are the items that participants will complete every morning. Participants will then be asked to rate in-the-moment anxiety, depression, stress, and loneliness and 3 random points throughout the day. Following week 1, participants will receive prompts about coping with anxiety, stress, uncertainty, and loneliness. Following week 1, participants will also be asked to engage in interoceptive exposure exercises, Intolerance of uncertainty exercises, and loneliness exercises. Participants will be asked to describe their experience of engaging in the exercises using the MetricWire app. | During the Intervention (Weeks 1-5) |
