Are you feeling sad? Depressed? Down? - join a CAMH study
Description
Are you feeling sad? Down? Depressed?
By participating in this research study, you will be contributing to help us understand if sleep and activity tracking may offer potential new, objective, digital ways to spot mood-related changes at early stages so we can prevent youth depression.
How? We ask that you wear an activity watch to record your movement and sleep patterns for 30 days, fill out a Mobile Mood diary 5x daily for a week and participate in virtual visits every 3 to 4 months for up to 2 years.
You will be compensated with a gift card at each visit. During the COVID-19 pandemic all visits are performed remotely through videoconferencing straight from your home! Your first visit is 3 hours and the rest are about 1 hour.
Will you see the results from your activity watch?
We will go over and share your results from the watch with you in a session so that you can learn what your patterns are like.
This study does not include any specific treatment for depression.
You may be eligible if you:
• Are between the ages of 12 and 21 years old
• Are experiencing or have been diagnosed with depression (major depressive disorder) by a health professional
