NCT ID: NCT02507349

Last Updated: 2019-02-26

Results Overview

The PEMM is a 12-item self-report measure of mental health patient experience of medication management with prescribers .Response options for 11 questions range from 0=Never to 4=Always, and the response options for the final question range from 0=Very Dissatisfied to 4=Very Satisfied. Overall possible range was 0 to 4. PEMM scores for each time point reflect the mean score of all measures collected within that time frame.

The SDM-Q-9 is a 9-item self-report measure of the degree of shared decision making in clinical encounters. There are 6 possible responses ranging from: Completely Disagree (0) to Completely Agree (5). Raw score ranges from 0 to 45. Multiplication of the raw score by 20/9 provides a score forced (transformed) to range from 0 to 100, where 0 indicates the lowest possible level of SDM and 100 indicates the highest extent of shared decision making in clinical encounters. SDM-Q-9 scores for each time point reflect the mean score of all measures collected within that time frame.

PAM is a 13-item scale that assesses the knowledge, skills, and confidence of patients essential to managing their own health and health care. Response options are: Strongly Disagree, Disagree, Agree, and Strongly Agree. The activation scale for the PAM ranges from 0 to 100. The lower values represent a poor outcome while higher values represent a better outcome. Overall possible range was 0 to 91.6. PAM scores for each time point reflect the mean score of all measures collected within that time frame.

The BASIS-24 identifies a wide range of symptoms and problems that occur across the psychiatric diagnostic spectrum. There are 5 ordered responses either ranging from No Difficulty to Extreme Difficulty or from None of the Time to All of the Time. Each of 24 questions is scored on a 5 point scale (from 0 to 4 where 0 is the lowest severity and 4 is the highest). The overall BASIS-24 score is a weighted sum that is computed by multiplying the rating for each question by its weight and totaling the weighted ratings for each question. Overall possible range was 0 to 3.99. BASIS-24 scores for each time point reflect the mean score of all measures collected within that time frame.

The Sheehan Disability Scale measures the extent to which three major sectors in the person's life are impaired by psychiatric symptoms (work/school, social/leisure life, and family/home life). The 3 items are summed together to form a single measure of global functional impairment that ranges from 0 (unimpaired) to 30 (highly impaired). Sheehan Disability Scale scores for each time point reflect the mean score of all measures collected within that time frame.

Quality of Life Enjoyment and Satisfaction Questionnaire - Short Form is a 16-item, self-report questionnaire for assessing quality of life in multiple domains (e.g., physical health, mood, leisure time activities, social relationships, and overall). Response items are on a 5-point scale ranging from Very Poor to Very Good. The scoring of the Q-LES-Q-SF involves summing only the first 14 items to yield a raw total score. The last two items are not included in the total score but are standalone items. The raw total score ranges from 14 to 70. The raw total score was transformed into a percentage maximum possible score using the following formula. The lower values/percentages represent a poor outcome while higher values/percentages represent a better outcome. Overall possible range was 0-100. QLESQ-SF scores for each time point reflect the mean score of all measures collected within that time frame.
