NCT02035202

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a mobile real-time cognitive behavioral intervention for serious mental illness (SMI) and to identify the facilitators, barriers, and costs of implementation. We would like to determine whether the addition of a mobile phone monitoring software program to a brief behavioral intervention for bipolar disorder or schizophrenia improves symptoms arising from the disorders. In this study we will be assessing the feasibility, acceptability and short term effect of the mobile phone enhanced intervention for bipolar disorder and schizophrenia.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Score on the Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (BPRS)

    The BPRS-24 includes 24 items that cover depression, anxiety, mania, suicidality, delusions/hallucinations, and unusual behavior. The BPRS is reliable, valid, and sensitive to change in both bipolar disorder and schizophrenia, and therefore enables the examination of diagnosis as a moderator of treatment effect. Twenty four items are rated on a 1-7 scale from present to severe, and the Total Score will be the primary outcome for analyses. It is clinician rated and the minimum score is 24 and the maximum score is 148 and higher scores reflect worse outcome.

    Baseline, 6 weeks, 12 weeks, and 24 weeks

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • SPECIFIC LEVEL OF FUNCTION (SLOF)

    Baseline, 12 weeks, 24 weeks

Other Outcomes (1)

  • Dysfunctional Attitudes Scale (DAS)

    Baseline, mid-point (6 weeks), at post-treatment (12 weeks), 24 week follow up

Study Arms (3)

CBT2go

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants assigned to this condition will attend one session with a therapist to identify cognitive and behavioral strategies around four areas: 1) mood/psychotic symptoms, 2) medication adherence, 3) socialization, and 4) relapse prevention. Subsequently they will answer questions on a mobile device (smartphone) 3 times per day for 12 weeks, and they will receive personalized cognitive and behavioral strategies linked to their momentary responses with bi-monthly telephone support.
