Trial Outcomes & Findings for Evaluation of MoodRing on Improving the Quality of Depression Management in Adolescents (NCT NCT05376358)
NCT ID: NCT05376358
Last Updated: 2025-08-14
Results Overview
Adolescents will be asked the Partners in Health Scale The revised Partners in Health Scale (Smith 2016) assesses self-management with respect to a chronic condition, with regard to active involvement of a patient in managing their condition. Total scores range from 0 to 96 with higher scores indicating worse self-management. A larger negative change in self-management score means an improvement in self-management.

Participant Flow
Recruitment sources: 81.4% from social media advertisement (591/726), 9.5% completing an electronic interest form in clinic at UPMC Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh Center for Adolescent and Young Adult Health (69/726), and from 9% completing the University of Pittsburgh online interest form (Pitt+Me) (66/726). Out of these, 12.5% (91/726) were able to be reached to complete screening. Prior to the study a plan was made to enroll healthcare providers. One provider was approached did not enroll.
Both the adolescent and the parent were required to complete the baseline survey to enter the study. Out of 73 adolescent and parent dyads consented for the study, 68 (93.1%) of adolescents completed the baseline survey while, despite multiple contacts, only 63 (86.3%) of parents completed the baseline. Therefore 63 adolescent parent dyads were able to start the study and were randomized.

Usual Care
Participants in this arm will receive no intervention and access treatment as usual per their mental health services provider. A mobile application (AWARE) which is not interactive and is only for purposes of data collection will be downloaded on the adolescents' smartphone.
Usual Care: Adolescents and parents in the usual care arm will receive instructions to download the AWARE app. This app will only track data and will not be interactive. Otherwise they will receive care as per routine by their healthcare provider team.
|
MoodRing
Adolescent participants in this arm will download two mobile applications - a data collection non-interactive app to collect passive sensing data (AWARE) and the MoodRing (MR) mobile application with which they can visualize their data about their mood, sleep, activity, enter their own mood score, and access psychoeducational resources including links to a research-based website, SOVA. Their parents will download a parent MoodRing application which provides them with parenting resources and articles and a weekly report of their adolescents' mood as predicted by passive sensing. Clinical providers will receive access to a web portal where they can view their adolescent patients' data who are enrolled in the study.
MoodRing App: Adolescents and parents in the MR arm will receive instructions to download the MR app and AWARE app, customize the app, utilize an app-based self-guided onboarding, and review questions with the research team. The MR app provides the adolescent and their parent a notification to view a weekly report predicting their mood score (i.e. depression severity level similar to the Patient health questionnaire-9). The MR app will provide a library of coping strategies for adolescents and opportunities to self-track their mood.
Clinicians in the MR Arm will get access to a MR portal online. They will be able to view patients they are a provider for. The clinician will receive in-person and/or video-based training to use the portal.

Their parents will download a parent MoodRing application which provides them with parenting resources and articles and a weekly report of their adolescents' mood as predicted by passive sensing. Clinical providers will receive access to a web portal where they can view their adolescent patients' data who are enrolled in the study.
MoodRing App: Adolescents and parents in the MR arm will receive instructions to download the MR app and AWARE app, customize the app, utilize an app-based self-guided onboarding, and review questions with the research team. The MR app provides the adolescent and their parent a notification to view a weekly report predicting their mood score (i.e. depression severity level similar to the Patient health questionnaire-9). The MR app will provide a library of coping strategies for adolescents and opportunities to self-track their mood.
Clinicians in the MR Arm will get access to a MR portal online. They will be able to view patients they are a provider for. The clinician will receive in-person and/or video-based training to use the portal.

Usual Care
n=23 Participants
Participants in this arm will receive no intervention and access treatment as usual per their mental health services provider. A mobile application (AWARE) which is not interactive and is only for purposes of data collection will be downloaded on the adolescents' smartphone.
Usual Care: Adolescents and parents in the usual care arm will receive instructions to download the AWARE app. This app will only track data and will not be interactive. Otherwise they will receive care as per routine by their healthcare provider team.

MoodRing
n=26 Participants
Adolescent participants in this arm will download two mobile applications - a data collection non-interactive app to collect passive sensing data (AWARE) and the MoodRing (MR) mobile application with which they can visualize their data about their mood, sleep, activity, enter their own mood score, and access psychoeducational resources including links to a research-based website, SOVA. Their parents will download a parent MoodRing application which provides them with parenting resources and articles and a weekly report of their adolescents' mood as predicted by passive sensing. Clinical providers will receive access to a web portal where they can view their adolescent patients' data who are enrolled in the study.
MoodRing App: Adolescents and parents in the MR arm will receive instructions to download the MR app and AWARE app, customize the app, utilize an app-based self-guided onboarding, and review questions with the research team. The MR app provides the adolescent and their parent a notification to view a weekly report predicting their mood score (i.e. depression severity level similar to the Patient health questionnaire-9). The MR app will provide a library of coping strategies for adolescents and opportunities to self-track their mood.
Clinicians in the MR Arm will get access to a MR portal online. They will be able to view patients they are a provider for. The clinician will receive in-person and/or video-based training to use the portal.

Their parents will download a parent MoodRing application which provides them with parenting resources and articles and a weekly report of their adolescents' mood as predicted by passive sensing. Clinical providers will receive access to a web portal where they can view their adolescent patients' data who are enrolled in the study.
MoodRing App: Adolescents and parents in the MR arm will receive instructions to download the MR app and AWARE app, customize the app, utilize an app-based self-guided onboarding, and review questions with the research team. The MR app provides the adolescent and their parent a notification to view a weekly report predicting their mood score (i.e. depression severity level similar to the Patient health questionnaire-9). The MR app will provide a library of coping strategies for adolescents and opportunities to self-track their mood.
Clinicians in the MR Arm will get access to a MR portal online. They will be able to view patients they are a provider for. The clinician will receive in-person and/or video-based training to use the portal.
