Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

This study investigates a new delivery method for the General Anxiety Disorder - 7 (GAD 7), a clinically accepted tool for diagnosing general anxiety disorder. The new tool records auditory responses to the assessment 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.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Diagnostic Test: Paper GAD 7
  • Diagnostic Test: Voice Administered GAD 7

Detailed Description

This study is an investigation of the construct validity and user experience of a new delivery system for the General Anxiety Disorder - 7 (GAD 7), a clinically accepted tool for diagnosing general anxiety disorder. The purpose of the study is to examine if the new delivery system of the GAD 7 is effective at capturing participant anxiety levels and to assess the differences of usability between the paper and voice administered versions. The voice administered version uses a Mirror device, which is similar to a smart television with a mirror interface. The device records auditory responses to the GAD 7 through Amazon Alexa. The investigators will be comparing the responses on the new 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.

Study Design

Study Type:
Interventional
Anticipated Enrollment :
40 participants
Allocation:
Randomized
Intervention Model:
Crossover Assignment
Intervention Model Description:
This study will be a repeated measure, mixed methods design (i.e., it will contain both qualitative and quantitative components). Newly admitted patients will be asked to complete the questionnaires (i.e., GAD 7 and the UEQ) at two different time points (i.e., Baseline and 1-month follow-up). In order to reduce or control for order effects, the procedure will be counterbalanced.This study will be a repeated measure, mixed methods design (i.e., it will contain both qualitative and quantitative components).

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Paper Baseline

Half of the participants will complete the GAD 7 in the traditional paper format at their first appointment. At their second appointment 1-month later, they will complete the GAD 7 on the Mirror device equipped with Amazon Alexa.

Diagnostic Test: Paper GAD 7
