Interventions

Tulsa Life Chart (TLC) OTHER

The TLC is a self-administered, interactive assessment of patient history. Participants are asked to provide information from birth to their current age in developmental epochs (i.e., ages 0 to 5; 6 to 10; 11 to 14; 15 to 18; 19 to 25; 26 to 35; and so on in 10-year increments). Participants are first asked to rate their average mood during the epoch. They are then asked about locations lived, schools attended, people they were close to, hobbies, medical conditions, medications, hospitalizations, direct and indirect substance use exposure, mental health symptoms, mental health treatment, and important life events. The information is then displayed in an interactive, graphic of the individual's life that is reviewable by the patient and the healthcare providers enrolled in the study that the patient consents to having access.
