Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This pilot study is a precursor to a subsequent clinical trial that will test the impact of a set of automated motivational messages on patient engagement with a digital mental health intervention. The pilot study aims to systematically employ patient feedback to develop the automated motivational messages that will be used in the subsequent clinical trial.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is an in situ user-centered design pilot study to generate feedback on the automated motivational messaging the investigators are developing. Participants will download a digital mental health intervention (IntelliCare) to use for three weeks. During this three-week period, participants will receive automated motivational messages on a randomized schedule. That is, each day they will be randomized to either receive an automated motivational message (60% likelihood) or not receive an automated motivational message (40% likelihood). On days when a participant receives a message, the participant will be prompted to complete a brief survey on their reaction to the message received. At the end of three weeks, participants will be asked to complete a qualitative interview to provide further feedback on messages under development.

The primary outcome in this study is participant ratings from the brief surveys provided after automated motivational message delivery. We will also, however, look at participant feedback on messages under development in the qualitative interview as well as whether receiving a message makes users more likely to engage with the DMHI (IntelliCare) during the three hours following message delivery.
