Measure
Delayed Intervention (Control Arm)
Patients in this arm will have PGx test results made available to physicians 3 months after study enrollment PGx test: A laboratory developed genetic test that differentiates common and uncommon alleles in genes that have been previously identified as being involved in either the metabolism or response of drugs used in the treatment of depression and/or anxiety. The results are provided as a report that contains information related to the allele status of the patient's genes, translates this into a phenotype, and relates this phenotype to recommendation classes for drugs.
PGx Test
Patients in this arm will have PGx test results made available to physicians as soon available after enrollment.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and 6 months

Population: PHQ-8 data is unavailable for 8 participants in the control arm and 7 participants in the PGx Test arm because of missing data at 6 months or loss to follow-up.

Change in PHQ-8 scores. The PHQ-8 is an 8-item participant-report measure for screening for depression and for establishing depression severity. The total score ranges from 0-24, with a higher score indicating greater depression symptom severity.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and 6 months

Population: Because GAD-7 data is unavailable for 8 participants in the control arm and 7 participants in the PGx Test arm because of missing data at 6 months or loss to follow-up, the data is presented for those participants who had both data points so comparisons between the two time points are appropriate.

The GAD-7 is a self-administered assessment for general anxiety disorder. The total score for the seven items ranges from 0 to 21. Higher values represent a worse outcome.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and 6 months

Population: ARMs data is unavailable for 10 participants in the control arm and 8 participants in the PGx Test arm because of missing data at 6 months or loss to follow-up.

Change in medication adherence: The Adherence to Refills and Medication was scored by summing together the 14 items after first reversing the final item to be consistent in direction with the others. Individuals were allowed to have up to 2 missing values present which were imputed with the mean of the remaining answered items, only a handful of individuals answered 13 of the 14 questions resulting in a single item within their scale being imputed across the time periods. The questionnaire has 14 items with each item being recorded on a four-point Likert scale. The total score ranges from 14-56 with the lower score indicating better adherence.
