Trial Outcomes & Findings for Mobile Mental Health in Community-Based Organizations (NCT NCT04480021)

NCT ID: NCT04480021

Last Updated: 2024-08-13

Results Overview

The investigators will obtain data on women's rates of use of the MITHRA app - this data will be obtained from the app, enabled by the single user sign on. Only the MITHRA arm will be considered, and completion of 50% of modules will be considered adequate usage.

Measure
Multiuser Interactive Health Response Application (MITHRA)
Randomization is at the level of the Community Based Organization (CBO). CBOs randomized to MITHRA will have access to the MITHRA app on tablets. MITHRA app will include depression screening and behavioral activation modules. MITHRA: A mobile based application (app) in CBOs to screen, track and treat mild to moderate depression among low income women using Healthy Activity Program (HAP),a WHO-recommended evidence-based intervention.
Enhanced Usual Care (EUC)
CBOs randomized to EUC will receive standardized monthly group education (45 min) regarding the symptoms of depression EUC: Group education on depression by community health workers

Usage Rates

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Change from baseline depression score (QIDS SR) at 3 months

Population: Participants with assessments available at 3 months

Change in Quick Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology Self Report (QIDS SR - a self report tool used to measure symptoms of depression) which will be collected by a blinded / masked research assistant. Research assessments will be conducted over the phone or in the Primary Health Center to avoid unblinding of CBO randomization status (presence of tablets in the CBOs) Scores range from 0 to 27 with higher scores indicating more symptoms
