About this study
Official title: A Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial of SOVA (Supporting Our Valued Adolescents), a Social Media Intervention for Adolescents With Depression and Anxiety and Their Parents to Increase Use of Mental Health Services
The purpose of this pilot study is to provide preliminary findings testing the Supporting Our Valued Adolescents (SOVA) intervention, two social media sites (one for adolescents, one for parents) aiming to address negative health beliefs, knowledge about depression or anxiety, parent-adolescent communication, in a moderated online peer community, with the goal of increasing adolescent use of mental health services.
Read the detailed description
Although recent evidence shows integrated care models increase service use, implementing these models is resource intense. Even in primary care settings with access to services and routine screening for depression and anxiety, patient engagement is low. This can be explained by a low perceived need for services present in both adolescents and parents. Key target mechanisms which may increase service use include: (1) parents' and adolescents' health beliefs and knowledge, (2) emotional/informational support, and (3) communication about mental health with each other. The "SOVA" or "Supporting Our Valued Adolescents" intervention aims to address these key mechanisms through two moderated social media websites (one for parents, one for adolescents) which include daily blog posts, online peer to peer interactions, and discussion guides. SOVA had undergone an iterative process of design - using stakeholder-engagement and human computer interaction techniques (PCOR K12 HS 22989-1). The goal of this process was to build a usable intervention which is stakeholder-informed. Preliminary work has found that 100 adolescents/young adults with a history of depression or anxiety symptoms and parents find the SOVA websites to have good usability. The investigators will use a pilot randomized controlled trial of SOVA to refine recruitment and retention strategies, measure implementation outcomes and investigate potential mechanisms of action in depressed and/or anxious adolescents not currently engaged in treatment and their parents; and examine parent-adolescent communication factors about mental health and relationship quality in the context of a web-based intervention.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Supporting Our Valued Adolescents (SOVA)Behavioural
The SOVA intervention includes:
- a welcome email to the websites (adolescents also get a SOVA intro video and mobile app)
- adolescents will have access to the website specifically for adolescents: sova.pitt.edu
- parents will have access to the website specifically for parents: wisesova.pitt.edu
These anonymous websites aim to: (1) challenge negative health beliefs and increase depression/anxiety knowledge through daily blog posts enhanced with peer commentary; (2) promote social support through online peer interactions; and (3) encourage parent-adolescent mental health communication through same day blog posts with questions for discussion. Parents and adolescents cannot log on to each other's sites. The sites are moderated by our research team.
The SOVA websites include articles composed by SOVA Peer Ambassadors who are adolescents and young adults who have experienced symptoms of depression or anxiety and contribute monthly articles and regular comments.
Enhanced Usual CareOther
A social worker at the Center for Adolescent and Young Adult Health (CAYAH) clinic helps to facilitate referrals from the adolescent healthcare provider (AHCP) and contacts patients who do not schedule for within-CAYAH appointments.The study will send an extra email to the parent and adolescent that contains the content of the depart summary as well as a list of psychoeducational materials, how to contact the AHCP, CAYAH social worker, and crisis resources and the AHCP's treatment recommendation which are obtained from the electronic health record. Also, each individual will receive a phone call from a research assistant who will communicate the information in the email and offer to inform the social worker or AHCP of questions the patient or parent may have.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Study retention
proportion of dyads accessing 6-week to those who access baseline surveys
Measured: 6 weeks
Secondary outcomes (25)
Intervention acceptability
interviews with adolescent healthcare providers
Measured: at study completion, an average of 1year
Health beliefs: Stigma
The Depression Stigma Scale (Griffiths 2004) measurizes stigmatizing attitudes toward depression treatment. It is a continuous measure and the total score ranges from 0-36. There are two subscales: the personal stigma subscale which totals 0-18 and the perceived stigma subscale which totals 0-18. These two are summed for the total stigma score. A higher score indicates a worse outcome.
Measured: 6 weeks
Health Beliefs: Beliefs about Antidepressants - Resistance
The Resistance to Antidepressant Use Questionnaire (Cohane, 2008) measures an individual's resistance toward taking antidepressant medication if prescribed. It is a continuous measure and the total score ranges from 0 to 18, with a higher score indicating greater resistance.
Measured: 6 weeks
Health Beliefs: Beliefs about Antidepressants - Meanings
The Antidepressant Meanings Scale (Cohane, 2008) measures an individual's level of negative attitudes toward taking an antidepressant medication if prescribed. It is a continuous measure and the total score ranges from 0 to 24, with a higher score indicating more negative attitudes.
Measured: 6 weeks
Health Beliefs: Beliefs About Therapy - Adolescents
Barriers to Adolescents Seeking Help Scale (Wilson 2005/Kuhl 1997) measures perceptions about seeking treatment from a mental health provider. The total score ranges from 1 to 11, a higher score indicated greater barriers.

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
