The Efficacy of Automated Feedback After Internet-based Depression Screening: the German, Three-armed, Randomised Controlled Trial DISCOVER

Universitätsklinikum Hamburg-Eppendorf·interventional·Posted Nov 18, 2020·Updated Sep 21, 2023

In Brief

A clinical study evaluating tailored feedback of depression screening results and standardized feedback of depression screening results for Depression and Major Depressive Disorder. Completed, enrolled 1,178 participants across 1 site.

Detailed Summary

The DISCOVER randomized controlled trial is designed to evaluate the effect of automated feedback after internet-based depression screening in individuals with undetected depression. A total of 1076 individuals reporting elevated levels of depression (PHQ-9 score ≥ 10 points) will be randomized into three groups to either receive a) no feedback (control group), b) standardised or c) tailored feedback on their depression screening results.The primary hypothesis is that feedback reduces depression severity six months after screening compared to no feedback. The secondary hypothesis is that tailored feedback is more efficacious as compared to standard feedback.
