The general aim was to expand the clinical utility of the IDAS-II to assess changes in internalizing symptoms, quality of life (QoL), and disability. Participants included 1,072 community adults (50% women) and 289 patients (74% women) who completed the IDAS-II. Patients also completed the Short Form-36 Health Survey and World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule to evaluate QoL and disability, respectively. First, the sensitivity of the IDAS-II scores to treatment impact was assessed through statistical significance and reliable changes based on the internal consistency of the IDAS-II. Second, the relationship between changes in IDAS-II scores and changes in QoL and disability was analyzed using weighted Cohen's κ and Spearman correlations. Third, an anchor-based longitudinal method determined the minimal clinically important difference in QoL and disability for the IDAS-II scales (i.e., the smallest difference in IDAS-II scores perceived as beneficial for QoL and disability). Reliable change index values and cutoff c were provided to identify reliable improvement, deterioration, no change, and clinically significant change for each symptom. Changes in general depression and dysphoria were most strongly associated with changes in QoL and disability. The minimal clinically important difference values for the IDAS-II provide insights into perceived QoL and disability improvement without requiring additional measures. Tracking symptom changes and their implications for QoL and disability is useful in guiding evidence-based decisions in clinical practice.

The goal of this study was to test a simple gamification method called \"The Emoji Game\" that was designed to increase adherence with EMA surveys (i.e., compliance or completing more surveys). The game involved embedding an emoji (i.e., a pictogram) randomly into one of the survey questions, where both the emoji and question where the emoji was hidden changed every few days. Participants who found the emoji were given an entry into a raffle to win a bonus gift card. Participants were 85 adolescents, who were recently admitted to acute psychiatric care due to suicidal thoughts or behaviors, and administered an EMA protocol for 4 weeks after discharge. This study covered three time periods: the 4 months that we ran the Emoji Game (<i>n</i> = 31), the 4 months immediately before the Emoji Game (<i>n</i> = 22), and the same period as the Emoji Game 1 year prior (<i>n</i> = 32). We found that participants in the \"Emoji Game\" period completed significantly more surveys (M compliance = 63.07%) than either comparison group (40.47% and 43.98% for 4 months and 1 year prior, respectively). We found no differences among groups on survey engagement (e.g., number of zeros per survey, a metric of careless and quick responding). Taken together, this suggests that the Emoji Game is an easy, low-burden way to gamify EMA studies that increases compliance.

While this approach has great potential for informing us about specific computational processes associated with psychopathology, the fundamental psychometric properties of computational assessments remain understudied. Optimizing these psychometric properties, including test-retest reliability, is essential for clinical utility. To address this gap, we assessed the test-retest reliability of manifest behavior and computational model parameters of a probabilistic reward and reversal learning task, two-armed Bandit, using intraclass correlations (ICCs) in 179 adults, including those with various psychosis-spectrum disorders and undiagnosed controls. We studied two computational models from recent literature: regression modeling of choice strategies and a hidden Markov model. The test-retest reliability for both manifest behavior (0.24 ≤ ICCs ≤ 0.54) and computational parameters (0.30 ≤ ICCs ≤ 0.61) ranged from poor to moderate, which was not explained by practice effects. Computational parameters did not outperform manifest behavior parameters. The reliability of computational parameters was generally-though not significantly-higher in healthy adults, which may potentially reflect the internal heterogeneity of categorical psychiatric diagnoses. Computational modeling holds promise, but tasks and analyses must be optimized for greater reliability before proceeding into clinical use.

{"title":"Single-item patient-rated helpfulness and improvement as an alternative to standardized questionnaires for establishing anxiety and depression treatment efficacy.","authors":"Patrycja Sewerynek,Caroline Wagner,Thomas McGregor,Megan Skelton,Thalia C Eley","doi":"10.1037/pas0001390","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1037/pas0001390","url":null,"abstract":"Evidence-based psychological treatments for anxiety and depression are widely used, yet roughly half of those treated do not respond. Treatment response prediction could help to optimize patient outcomes and use of clinical resources. However, existing longitudinal studies with potentially valuable predictors are unlikely to include comprehensive, prospective measures of symptoms throughout therapy. Single-item patient ratings of helpfulness and improvement are a potentially cost-effective and efficient alternative, but their relationship with typically used change score measures is unknown. Data were analyzed from 135 participants (124 female sex; 120 female gender; 127 White) who received cognitive-behavioral therapy. Anxiety symptoms (Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7), depression symptoms (Patient Health Questionnaire-9), and impairment (Work and Social Adjustment Scale) questionnaire scores were obtained before therapy (assessment), before each session, and 1-month posttreatment (follow-up). Helpfulness (binary) and improvement (continuous) ratings were collected at follow-up. Linear regression models assessed the relationship between helpfulness and improvement ratings and questionnaire change scores from the first to the last session. Logistic regressions modeled the relationships between single-item measures and National Health Service Talking Therapies outcomes, derived from questionnaire change scores. Helpfulness and improvement showed significant associations with questionnaire change scores as well as National Health Service Talking Therapies outcomes. In a joint model, improvement retained significant associations while helpfulness became nonsignificant. Improvement, and to a lesser extent helpfulness, patient ratings may be a cost-effective alternative for establishing treatment efficacy and outcome. The items' wording and response scales may underlie observed differences. While not equivalent to change score-based measures, they may be adequate for studies requiring large sample sizes.

To guide that process, we investigated how questionnaire length and sampling frequency impact careless and insufficient effort responding (C/IER) as an important yet understudied aspect of ESM data quality. To this end, we made use of existing experimental ESM data (Eisele et al., 2022) from 163 students randomly assigned to one of two questionnaire lengths (30/60 items) and one of three sampling frequencies (3/6/9 assessments per day). We employed a novel mixture modeling approach (Ulitzsch, Nestler, et al., 2024) that leverages screen time data to disentangle attentive responding from C/IER and allows investigating how the occurrence of C/IER evolved within and across ESM study days. We found sampling frequency, but not questionnaire length, impacted C/IER, with higher frequencies resulting in higher overall C/IER proportions and sharper increases of C/IER across, but not within days. These effects proved robust across various model specifications. Further, we found no substantial relationships between model-implied C/IER and other engagement measures, such as self-reported attentiveness, attention checks, response-pattern-based attentiveness indicators, and compliance. Our findings contrast previous studies on noncompliance, suggesting that respondents may employ different strategies to lower the different types of burden imposed by questionnaire length and sampling frequency. Implications for designing ESM studies are discussed.

This interpretation assumes that the CDRS-R measures a single construct of depression (unidimensionality) in the same way across time (longitudinal invariance)-assumptions that have yet to be established but were tested in this study. Adolescents (N = 197; ages 13-18 years old) with lifetime major depressive disorder, as well as healthy controls, completed the CDRS-R and a self-reported depression symptom measure, the Inventory of Depression and Anxiety Symptoms (IDAS), at baseline and 6 months follow-up. Unidimensionality of the CDRS-R at both time points was tested using the one-factor confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Longitudinal invariance of the factor structure was examined in a CFA framework, and longitudinal invariance of the construct validity was examined by testing whether the correlation between the CDRS-R and IDAS was equivalent across time. The one-factor CFA model with correlated uniqueness among the three observational items demonstrated excellent fit. Longitudinal invariance of the factor structure (invariant uniqueness) and construct validity was achieved. At both baseline and 6-month assessments, the CDRS-R demonstrated good internal consistency (αs > .89) and was highly correlated with the IDAS (> 0.70). Findings support the practice of comparing observed scores of the CDRS-R between the baseline and the 6-month assessment among adolescents.
