The Oh Happy Day Class - Digital Connections (OHDC-DC) for Depression
This study is testing if a mobile phone app called OHDC-DC can help African Americans who are experiencing depression. The app provides 90-minute weekly cognitive behavioral psycho-education classes over six weeks. To join, you must be African-American, age 18 or older, own a mobile phone, and have depression symptoms (a PHQ-9 score of 5 or higher). You cannot join if you are currently in psychotherapy, have recent suicidal thoughts, or started new psychotropic medication less than three months ago. The researchers will measure changes in your depression and anxiety symptoms to see if the OHDC-DC app is effective. The study is currently unclear on its recruitment status.
- Study design
- This is an interventional study with 8 planned participants. It is a single-arm study, meaning all participants receive the OHDC-DC intervention.
- What's involved
- You would attend six 90-minute weekly classes via a mobile app and complete surveys every week. You can expect to be in the study for about four months.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Your depression and anxiety symptoms will be measured at the start of the study and again about one month after the intervention ends (approximately 12 weeks total).

- Change in Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-item (GAD-7) scoreBaseline to one month post-intervention (approximately 12 weeks)
Using the GAD-7 score, participants will rate how much they have been bothered by symptoms on a scale of 0-3 with a possible range of 0 to 24. Higher scores indicate greater degree of anxiety.
- Change in Quick Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology (QIDS)Baseline to one month post-intervention (approximately 12 weeks)
Using the 16-item QIDS, participants will rate how much they have been bothered by symptoms on a scale of 0-3 with a possible range of 0 to 27. Higher scores indicate greater degree of depression.
- Satisfaction with intervention12 weeks
Participants will rate their satisfaction with the intervention by answering a 9-item questionnaire with a scale of 1-7 (1= none of the time, 7= all of the time). Higher scores indicate greater satisfaction with the intervention.
