Voice Biomarkers Predictive of Depression and Anxiety
Voice Biomarkers Predictive of Depression and Anxiety: An Observational Study
Study Overview
Status
Conditions
Detailed Description
Participants will be recruited via various online mediums to participate in a voluntary observational study. Completing the consent and survey on their smart-phone, tablet, or computer, the participant will be asked to provide a 1-minute response to an audio prompt "How was your day?" After recording their response, the participant will be asked to complete the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 and Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 measures independently.
In a second voluntary phase of the study, participants who indicated a score higher than 20, will be contacted by the research team via email to determine if they are interested in a voluntary follow-up to their initial study participation. Participants who would like to take part in the additional survey will complete additional voice recording responses to prompts and complete the Patient History Questionnaire and Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7. These participants will be contacted by a Mental Health Professional to discuss seeking mental health resources and clinicians, as well as, complete the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale and Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale via the telephone.

Main Study Cohort
A web-based audio recording tool will be used to record voice sample answering the prompt, "How are you feeling today?"
Participants are asked to speak for 1-minute.
Following the recording, participants are asked to complete the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 and Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 questions.
|
The Patient Health Questionnaire-9 is a nine question self-administered examination in which the patient indicates how often they have experienced different feelings and sensations in the past two weeks.
The Patient Health Questionnaire-9 is scored from 0 to 27 where higher scores are associated with more severe depression.
Other Names:
The Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 is a seven question self-administered examination in which the patient indicates how often they have experienced different feelings and sensations in the past two weeks.
The Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 is scored from 0 to 21 where higher scores are associated with more severe anxiety.
Other Names:
|
Selected Self-Reported Depression Cohort
The Researcher will review Patient Health Questionnaire-9 scores of all the participants and select the subset that self-reported a scored greater than 20, on a scale from 0 to 27.
Participants will be approached via email to complete an additional administration of the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 and Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 questionnaires and be offered resources for depression and anxiety and how to set up an appointment with a mental health professional.

The Hamilton Depression Rating Scale is scored from 0 to 45 where higher scores are associated with more severe depression.
Other Names:
The Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale is administered by a mental health profession and includes fourteen questions asking about how the participant has been feeling in the past week.
The Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale is scored from 0 to 56 where higher scores are associated with more severe anxiety.
