Measure
Group A- Treatment as Usual
Participants in the treatment as usual group will be provided educational material about mood management available via the EHR with the suggestion to discuss questions with their PCP. Participants will be asked to complete questionnaire measures weekly for 8 weeks, with a final follow-up questionnaire at 12 weeks following study enrollment. Treatment as Usual: Participants will be provided educational material about mood management available via the EHR with the suggestion to discuss questions with their PCP. Participants will be asked to complete questionnaire measures weekly for 8 weeks, with a final follow-up questionnaire at 12 weeks following study enrollment.
Group B- Moodivate
Participants randomized to the Moodivate condition will be instructed to utilize Moodivate regularly, at least once per day, for the treatment of depressed mood. Participants in the Moodivate group will receive a download code to download the Moodivate mobile application. Moodivate is a mobile app for individuals with elevated symptoms of depression. Within the app, users identify values, create activities, schedule activities, and rate mood daily. Participants will be asked to complete questionnaire measures weekly for 8 weeks, with a final follow-up questionnaire at 12 weeks following study enrollment. Behavioral Activation Therapy app: Moodivate focuses on tracking daily activities, recording daily mood, and identifying new activities to complete that may help improve mood. Participants will be asked to complete questionnaire measures weekly for 8 weeks, with a final follow-up questionnaire at 12 weeks following study enrollment.
Group C- Moodivate + EHR
Participants randomized to the Moodivate + EHR condition will receive similar instructions as those randomized to Moodivate, but will also be instructed that their PCP will have access to metrics related to their app utilization and may choose to follow-up with them regarding treatment utilization and response. The PCP for each participant randomized to this condition will be provided EHR access to Moodivate metrics which will include metrics related to change in mood, frequency of app utilization, and frequency of activity completion. Participants will be asked to complete questionnaire measures weekly for 8 weeks, with a final follow-up questionnaire at 12 weeks following study enrollment. Behavioral Activation Therapy app + EHR: Moodivate focuses on tracking daily activities, recording daily mood, and identifying new activities to complete that may help improve mood. The participant's primary care provider at MUSC will be provided access to a Moodivate provider portal that was developed by study team. Participants will be asked to complete questionnaire measures weekly for 8 weeks, with a final follow-up questionnaire at 12 weeks following study enrollment.
