PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Up to 6 weeks

Population: Some participants in each arm were lost to follow up or did not complete their questionnaires following the baseline visit. 1 participant's data for the PHQ-9 was missing, but their data for Outcome Measures 3, 4, 5, and 6 was present.

The PHQ-9 was a multipurpose instrument for screening, diagnosing, monitoring and measuring the severity of depression. The PHQ-9 incorporated self-report questions on 9 specific depression symptoms that align with the DSM-IV depression diagnostic criteria. PHQ-9 scores ranged from 0-27, with 0 indicating no depression and 27 indicating severe depression.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Daily up to 6 weeks

Population: Only participants who completed their mood scores between weeks 2 and 6 were analyzed.

Participants were asked a single question, "On a scale of 1 to 10, what was your average mood today?" Scores were averaged over follow-up periods with lower scores indicating worse moods and higher scores indicating better moods.

Timeframe: Up to 6 weeks

Population: Some participants in each arm were lost to follow up or did not complete their questionnaires following the baseline visit. 1 participant's data for the PHQ-9 was missing, but their data for Outcome Measures 3, 4, 5, and 6 was present.

The PANSI-NSI subscale was composed of 8 items. The possible total score on the PANSI-NSI ranged from 8 to 40. Higher scores on the PANSI-NSI reflected greater risk for suicidal behavior.
