Interactive Voice Based Administration of the GAD 7
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.

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.
