项目摘要

PROJECT SUMMARY Significance: The overarching goal of this proposal is to develop an intervention to help unemployed individuals with major depressive disorder (MDD) return to work. Individuals who lose their jobs are at risk for MDD and other psychiatric disorders. Because a core feature of MDD is decreased motivation, unemployed individuals with MDD can enter a `vicious cycle' where their depression leads to reduced motivation to seek work, which creates further financial hardship, which leads to worse depression and even suicide. The unprecedented impact that the COVID-19 pandemic has had on rates of depression and unemployment, has elucidated the clear need for interventions to help individuals with MDD return to work after getting laid off. Investigators: This STTR Fast Track grant brings together PeopleResults (a female-owned organizational development firm), diverse stakeholders (e.g., job seekers, community-based organizations), and Northwestern University researchers (e.g., psychologists, implementation and e-health scientists), to develop and test the efficacy of DRIVEN (Depression Return-to-work InterVEntioN). Innovation: DRIVEN is an innovative behavioral intervention that integrates evidenced-based strategies from cognitive-behavior therapy (e.g., behavioral activation techniques to improve positive affect and drive) with job-seeking and career counseling (e.g., interview coaching, how to customize job applications). DRIVEN will be a 6-week intervention largely delivered via a smartphone application (e.g., webinars, customized goals, with gamified features). However, given that e-health interventions are often plagued by high rates of attrition, DRIVEN will include multiple components designed to increase engagement, by increasing social support and accountability (e.g., biweekly live sessions with a job coach, email check-ins, gamified exercises, anonymous social media support platform). Our comprehensive commercialization plan also ensures that DRIVEN will reach job-seekers in need as it largely focuses on marketing to companies looking for outplacement services, i.e., resources provided by employers to recently laid off employees, in order to reduce the reputational fallout that companies risk following significant layoffs. Approach: Phase I will use user-centered design methodology (e.g., an advisory committee consisting of job-seekers, potential customers, experts in human resources) to design, develop, and alpha- and beta-test a prototype of DRIVEN. Phase II will test the efficacy of DRIVEN in a randomized controlled trial of 125 job seekers by comparing DRIVEN to a control condition consisting of self-guided job-seeking. Phase II will also utilize auto-regressive modelling with intensive longitudinal data to test for mediators of change (e.g., whether improvements in depression lead to greater job- seeking, and/or vice versa) Impact: DRIVEN will meet the high societal need resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic – helping the many unemployed Americans with MDD find meaningful and durable careers. While COVID-19 will (hopefully) be in the past by the end of this 3-year project, there will continue to be a need for interventions to help job-seekers with depression nimbly and successfully find work.

项目摘要意义：该提案的总体目标是制定干预措施以帮助失业者重大抑郁症（MDD）重返工作岗位。失业的个人有MDD的风险和其他精神疾病。因为MDD的核心特征是减少动力，所以失业的人使用MDD可以进入“恶性循环”，他们的抑郁症会导致减少工作的动力，这是产生进一步的财务困难，从而导致抑郁症甚至自杀。前所未有的影响 COVID-19大流行对抑郁症和失业率的率已经阐明了明确的需求为了帮助患有MDD的人解雇后重返工作岗位。调查人员：这个STTR很快 Track Grant汇集了Peoperlesults（一家女性拥有的组织发展公司），潜水员利益相关者（例如，求职者，基于社区的组织）和西北大学的研究人员（例如，心理学家，实施和电子健康科学家），发展和测试驱动的效率（抑郁症重返工作干预）。创新：驱动是一种创新的行为干预措施从认知行为疗法中整合基于经验的策略（例如，行为激活技术到通过寻求工作和职业咨询来改善积极的影响和动力）（例如，面试教练，如何自定义工作应用程序）。驱动的将是一项为期6周的干预措施，主要通过智能手机应用程序进行（例如，网络研讨会，定制目标，具有游戏化功能）。但是，鉴于电子健康干预措施通常是受到高速流失率的困扰，驱动器将包括旨在增加参与度的多个组件，通过增加社会支持和问责制（例如，与工作教练，电子邮件检查的双周期活动，游戏化练习，匿名社交媒体支持平台）。我们的全面商业化计划确保驱动的人将吸引有需要的寻求工作，因为它主要关注寻求的公司营销退出服务，即员工提供的资源以减少员工，以减少在大量裁员之后，公司冒险冒险的声誉后果。方法：第一阶段将以用户为中心设计方法（例如，由寻求工作的客户，潜在客户，专家组成的咨询委员会人力资源）设计，开发和alpha-和beta检验的驱动原型。第二阶段将测试通过比较驱动的控制，在125个求职者的随机对照试验中驱动的功效包括自我指导的寻求工作的条件。第二阶段还将利用大量的自动回归建模纵向数据测试变化的介体（例如，抑郁症的改善是否导致工作更大 - 寻求，反之亦然）影响：驱动将满足COVID-19产生的高社会需求大流行 - 帮助许多拥有MDD的失业美国人找到了有意义耐用的职业。尽管 Covid-19将（希望）在这个三年项目结束时（希望）将继续存在干预措施，以帮助抑郁症的求职者灵活并成功找到工作。
