Clinical Trial: Calling for Care: Cell Phones for Mood Telemetry in Teens
Study Status: Completed
Recruit Status: Completed
Study Type: Interventional
Official Title: Calling for Care: Cell Phones for Mood Telemetry
Brief Summary: We will modify our existing VMQ/VADIS mood telemetry software to run on a Motorola platform, and enhance it to collect information on both mood symptoms (currently covered by the VMQ/VADIS) as well as daily life stressors (currently outside the VMQ/VADIS' scope). By doing so, we will be able us to examine the role of daily stressors in the lives of teens with and without mood swings, to identify how changes in mood triggered by stressful events are similar to or different from mood changes linked to the bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, or other forms of affective instability.

Current Primary Outcome: usability [ Time Frame: After nine months' enrollment ]
Original Primary Outcome: Same as current
Current Secondary Outcome:
- Validity [ Time Frame: Every three months x 9 months ]Validate that the data reported by telemetry is valid, by comparing cell phone questionnaire responses with results of standardized clinical ratings collected every-three-month via face-to-face meetings
- Qualitative feedback [ Time Frame: After nine months' enrollment ]Collect human factors engineering feedback from our participants for subsequent development work, by questioning participants at the exit interview about their experience with the cell phone and software
Original Secondary Outcome: Same as current
