Detailed Description

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

Tribal communities have a problem. They experience a disproportionate rate of substance use and mental illness. Research shows that customized digital tools designed with the community, integrating local culture and resources are more effective in reducing symptoms of anxiety and depression. However, the cost of design and development renders quality app creation for small markets infeasible. Digital Support for Problem-Solving Therapy in a Tribal Community (DSPT) solves this problem through dramatically reducing software design time by using AI for task analysis and to combine tasks, service programs' geographic coordinates and hours and applying the proprietary 7 Gen Blocks software components to reduce development time. The resulting mobile application will be used by intervention groups on two reservations. At baseline, three months and six months post, both the intervention and randomly assigned control group (total N =100) will complete standardized, validated measures of depression, anxiety and substance use disorder symptoms. All participants will be enrolled members in a federally recognized tribe, over 18 years of age and have a diagnosis of an anxiety, depression or substance use disorder.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

App Intervention group

A project coordinator will meet with the participant to assist in installing the app on device and provide instruction in use. Participants will be able to access support from the app continuously. When in proximity, during service hours to an organization meeting needs identified by the individual, the app will prompt to take action. Data will be collected on symptoms at baseline, three and six months post.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

DSPT - Digital Support for Problem-solving Therapy

Intervention Type COMBINATION_PRODUCT

Mobile app breaking major treatment and social needs into subtasks, providing information, prompts and in-app payment to complete those tasks.

Control group

Data will be collected on symptoms at baseline, three and six months post. As individuals have a diagnosis of mental illness they may be receiving "Treatment as usual" for their reservation/ service provider, but no additional services will be provided by the sponsor.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group
