NCT01144104

Brief Summary

This trial consists of two linked substudies. Substudy 1: Activating Messages for Enhancing Primary Care Practice (AMEP2): Effectiveness Study Substudy 2: Activating Messages for Enhancing Primary Care Practice (AMEP2): Toxicity Study The purpose of the Effectiveness Study is to assess the comparative effectiveness of three multimedia educational interventions (a targeted educational video, a tailored interactive multimedia computer program, and an "attention control") for increasing the likelihood that primary care patients with significant depressive symptoms will seek appropriate care (n = 510). The primary study outcomes are provision of minimally acceptable initial care, reductions in depression-related stigma, and improvement in depression symptoms. (See Process of Care and Patient Outcomes in Primary Outcome Measure section.) The purpose of the Toxicity Study is to assess the potential benefits (reduced stigma) and harms (inappropriate prescribing) associated with three multimedia depression educational interventions when administered to patients with few or no depressive symptoms (n = 308). The primary outcomes relating to this outcome are reducing depression-related stigma and reducing unnecessary prescribing. (See Toxicity in Primary Outcome Measure section.) Both studies will look at the secondary outcome measure of patient requests for depression treatment.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • Process of Care

    Minimally acceptable initial care, meaning 1) antidepressant prescription, 2) referral to a mental health specialist, or 3) follow up within 14 days if PHQ \>= 15 or within 30 days otherwise

    Within 24 hours of intervention delivery (physician post-visit assessment)

  • Patient Outcomes

    1\) Stigma as measured by a scale adapted from Kanter JW, Rusch LC, Brondino MJ. Depression self-stigma: a new measure and preliminary findings. J Nervous Mental Dis 1008; 196(9):663-70, and 2) depression symptoms measured via PHQ-8 scores.

    Stigma: Within 24 hours of intervention delivery (patient post-visit assessment); depression symptoms: 12 weeks

  • Toxicity

    1\) Stigma as measured by a scale adapted from Kanter (see above) and 2) antidepressant prescribing by physician

    Within 24 hours of intervention delivery (patient and physician post-visit assessment, audio-recording of doctor-patient interaction at index visit)

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Direct or indirect patient requests for depression treatment

    Within 24 hours of intervention delivery (physician post-visit assessment, audio-recording of doctor-patient interaction at index visit)
