Trial Outcomes & Findings for Real-Time Mobile Cognitive Behavioral Intervention for Serious Mental Illness (NCT NCT02035202)

NCT ID: NCT02035202

Last Updated: 2019-08-13

Results Overview

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.

CBT2go
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. CBT2go: CBT administered using mobile intervention. Smartphone: A smartphone platform will be used to deliver the CBT2go behavioral intervention and the surveys in the EMA-only arm.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, 12 weeks, 24 weeks

Population: There was missing data due to lack of available informants for the SLOF so that the number analyzed is less than that associated with the other measures

The SLOF is an interviewer rated measure that addresses community function in serious mental illness, utilizing a best estimate approach in which data is integrated from interviewer, informant, and participant responses. The score ranges from 30 to 150. Higher scores equal greater function.

OTHER_PRE_SPECIFIED outcome

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

The DAS is a 40-item self-report subscale indexing maladaptive attitudes, particularly one's ability to perform tasks and one's need for approval from others. The DAS consists of 40 items and each item consists of a statement and each is rated on a 7-point Likert scale (7 = fully agree; 1 = fully disagree). Ten items are reverse coded (items: 2, 6, 12, 17, 24, 29, 30, 35, 37 and 40). The total score is the sum of the 40-items and the range of scores is 40-280, with higher scores indicating more dysfunctional attitudes.
