Trial Outcomes & Findings for HIV Translating Initiatives for Depression Into Effective Solutions (NCT NCT00304915)

NCT ID: NCT00304915

Last Updated: 2016-12-29

Results Overview

Depression symptom severity over the past two weeks was measured using the Hopkins Symptom Checklist (SCL-20). The SCL-20 includes the 13-item depression scale plus 7 depression-related items from the Hopkins Symptom Checklist-90-Revised. The items are scored from 0 to 4 and averaged to provide a mean depression severity score from 0 to 4. Depression treatment response at 6-months was defined as a 50% decrease in mean SCL-20 score compared to baseline.

Measure
Arm 1: Collaborative Care Intervention
Collaborative Care Intervention: Patients in the intervention group will be supported by a depression collaborative care team that will include a depression nurse care manager, clinical pharmacist, and psychiatrist. The depression nurse care manager will evaluate depression symptom severity, antidepressant side effects, depression and HIV medication adherence every two weeks over the phone during the acute phase of treatment and will record these results in VA electronic medical record. After a 50% improvement in depression severity, the intervention subject will move into the continuation phase of treatment and the patient will be contacted every four weeks by the depression nurse case manager.
Arm 2: Usual Care
Usual care arm. Usual care will include depression screening with the same 9-item Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) screener used for Arm 1. The HI-TIDES depression care team will not be a part of the usual care condition.
