5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The researchers are doing this study to learn more about which online self-help resources, including a smartphone app, an online program, or an informational website, primary care patients with depression are likely to choose and whether the chosen tool will improve their depressive symptoms and wellbeing. The researchers would also like to know how likely someone is to use the resources and their satisfaction with the resources.
Detailed Description
Participants will be using a self-help resource for the 6-week study period. A Care Manager will contact participants by phone, once a week, for about 5-10 minutes at a pre-arranged time. Participation will be needed for 10 weeks in total (6 weeks of active participation and a survey 1-month after the study intervention ends). Subscription-based self-help resources being tested during the study will not be freely available after the study period. However, the researchers will share information on how to access these resources for a fee after the study period to all participants. In addition to the time above, the researchers will collect information from participant's medical records for another 10 months after participation. The entire study is expected to last about 2 years.
