Interactive Voice-Based Administration of the PHQ-9

Overview

This study investigates a new delivery method for the Patient Health Questionnaire - 9 (PHQ-9), a clinically accepted tool for diagnosing major depressive disorder. The new tool records auditory responses to the assesment and the study will examine if the instrument is effective at capturing participant depression levels. If proven effective, future studies may investigate if the new format can be used to improve at home clinical care.

This study is an investigation of a new delivery system of the Patient Health Questionnaire - 9 (PHQ-9), a clinically accepted tool for diagnosing major depressive disorder. The purpose of the study is to examine if the new delivery system of the PHQ-9 is effective at capturing participant depression levels. The new version uses a Mirror device, which is similar to a smart television with a mirror interface. The device records auditory responses to the PHQ-9 through Amazon Alexa. We will be comparing the responses from the Mirror device to those given on the clinically established paper format. If proven effective at capturing depression levels of patients, future studies may investigate if the new format can be used to improve at home clinical care.
