About this study

Depressive symptoms and disorders are among the most common adult health conditions with a lifetime prevalence of 15-20% and are a leading cause of disability /morbidity worldwide. Although evidence-based approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), antidepressant medications, and depression collaborative care and quality improvement (QI) programs integrating depression care into primary health care can improve depression outcomes and disparities, racial / ethnic disparities continue to persist. Concurrently, according to a 2011 Institute of Medicine (IOM) report, little information exists on how to address the high rates of depression among sexual and gender minorities.

Our study randomizes depressed, LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgendered, queer), racial / ethnic minority adults to an evidence-based agency-level, depression quality improvement (QI) training [Resources for Services (RS)] and technical support alone or to a resiliency class (RC+), a 7-session resiliency, cognitive behavioral therapy class to enhance mood + automated mobile text reminders about basic reminders and care follow-up impact on improving adult patients' depressive symptoms. Depression QI (RS) training will be offered to three clusters of four to five LGBTQ-focused programs: two clusters in LA (Hollywood and South LA) and one cluster in NO. Clusters are comprised of one primary care, one mental health, and two to three community agencies (e.g., faith-based, social services/support, advocacy). All programs will receive depression QI training. Enrolled adult depressed patients (n=320) will be randomized individually to RC+ or RS (depression QI) alone to assess effects on primary outcomes: depressive symptoms [8-item patient health questionnaire (PHQ-8) score and secondary outcomes: mental health quality of life [12-item mental composite score (MCS-12) ≤ 40], Resilience (Brief Resilience Scale), mental wellness, and physical health quality of life [12-item physical composite (PCS-12)score] at 6- and 12-month follow-up.

Depressive symptoms and disorders are among the most common adult health conditions and are a leading cause of disability /morbidity worldwide. Although evidence-based approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), antidepressant medications, and depression collaborative care and quality improvement (QI) programs integrating depression care into primary health care can improve depression outcomes and disparities, racial / ethnic disparities continue to persist. Concurrently, according to a 2011 Institute of Medicine (IOM) report notes little information exists on how to address the high rates of depression among sexual and gender minorities, largely composed of lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGBTQ) individuals. Limited comparative effectiveness data exists to know what treatments and services options improve health disparities due to patient characteristics such as race / ethnicity, and sexual orientation.

"Resilience Against Depression Disparities (RADD)" randomizes enrolled depressed, LGBTQ, racial / ethnic minority adults (n=320) to an agency-level, evidence-based depression quality improvement (QI) intervention [Resources for Services (RS)] training and technical support and then randomizes individuals to Resources for Services alone or to Resiliency Class+, a 7-session resiliency, depression cognitive behavioral therapy class + automated mobile text reminders about basic reminders and care follow-up impact on improving adult patients' depressive symptoms over 6- and 12-months. RS training will be offered to three clusters of four to five LGBTQ-focused programs: two clusters in LA (Hollywood and South LA) and one cluster in NO. Clusters are comprised of one primary care, one mental health, and two to three community agencies (e.g., faith-based, social services/support, advocacy). All programs will receive RS (depression QI training). All enrolled adult depressed patients will be within programs participating in RS (depression QI) trainings. Half of enrolled participants will be randomized to the Resilience Class +.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Resources for ServicesActive comparatorResources for Services (RS) is an evidence-based depression QI toolkit developed for primary care, but adapted for health- and community-based programs. Protocols support training licensed providers in clinical assessment, medication management, and CBT; all staff in team management; and non-clinical staff in addressing patient safety, screening, behavioral management skills (behavioral activation, problem solving) to enable education, coordination, and referral. RS is offered as an initial 1-day / 8-hour training with follow-up through 12 webinars, 3 each on team management, medication management, psychotherapy, and case management. Programs will be invited to have a staff lead per training component, with no limit on number of staff at trainings. Training experts include a psychiatrist, psychologist/CBT trainer, case manager, support staff, and patient / community advocate liaison. All enrolled study participants will be nested within programs participating in RS.
Receives: Other: Resource for Services (RS)
Resiliency Class +Active comparatorResiliency Classes (RC) are a manualized, 7-session, CBT, psychoeducation class, lead by community health workers, that teaches skills to enhance mood. The RC manual covers: Session 1 - "What Affects Your Mood and Resilience;" Session 2 - "Pleasant Activities Can Help Improve Your Mood and Make You Resilient;" Session 3 - "What Gets In The Way of Pleasant Activities: Harmful Thoughts and How to Change Them;" Session 4 - "How to Increase Your Resilience Through Support from Others;" Session 5 - "My Personal Resiliency Plan: Goal Setting;" Session 6 - "Celebrate Your Resiliency: Graduation" Each RC will be 90-120 minutes in duration; once a week in community settings with up to 10 participants. RC will be supplemented with automated mobile text reminders about basic concepts and follow-up for care. Half of enrolled participants will be randomized to the Resiliency Class +. As of July 12, 2018, we will be offering bus tokens and $5 for completion of a satisfaction survey.

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Poor Mental Health-Related Quality of Life

    12-item mental composite score (MCS-12) ≤ 40

Undecided: We will work with the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) staff as the findings emerge to determine the potential value of some or all of the dataset being made publicly available, which would require additional funding from PCORI to complete. In general PCORI works with investigators to make a complete, cleaned, de-identified final data set with detailed descriptions contained within the study protocol available to PCORI for use as a publicly available dataset after study completion.
