Bayesian Sequential Single Case Methods to Personalize Low-Intensity Psychological Interventions:...
DepressionThe study is an initial investigation of the feasibility of applying Bayesian sequential analyses to individual participant single-case data for rapid detection of whether or not the individual is benefitting from a low-intensity computerized cognitive training intervention for depression. Patients waiting for, or in follow-up from, outpatient psychological therapy will complete first a two-week period of daily symptom monitoring, followed by two different two-week cognitive training interventions. Data collected will be used to assess feasibility of a future formal case series using Bayesian sequential analyses to determine switching of interventions, and inform the analysis parameters for such a future study.

DepressionAnxietyApproximately 200 Participants with mild-to-moderate, untreated depression and/or anxiety will be randomly assigned (by chance, like flipping a coin) to 1 of 3 study groups: Lumen Coached Problem-Solving Treatment (PST) (n=100), Human Coached PST (n=50), and optional (delayed) Lumen Coached PST as waitlist control (n=50) to improve emotional health. All participants will complete assessments at baseline and at 18 weeks post randomization. Depending on the group assignment the PST program will be delivered by Lumen, a virtual voice-based coach on a study iPad, or by a human coach in person for the first session and then via videoconference or phone for the remaining 7 sessions. Participants assigned to the waitlist control group can receive the Lumen coached PST on a study iPad after completing their 18-week follow-up assessment. Participants will receive 8 coaching sessions to learn problem-solving skills and work on unresolved problems in daily living that may be interfering with their emotional well-being and contributing to depression and anxiety symptoms.
