Brief Summary: The goal of this randomized controlled trial study is to compare different adherence support strategies for primary care patients with depression who have been newly prescribed antidepressant medications We will examine whether personalized daily text messages with and without financial incentives improves anti-depressant adherence and depression symptoms as compared to treatment as usual no messages or incentives for taking medications

We will measure adherence with a wireless pill bottle and by assessment of electronic health prescription records Participants in the study will be asked to complete assessments of depression symptoms via telephone at 6 and 12 weeks
Detailed Description: The proposed study examines use of modest financial incentives in conjunction with tailored text message reminders to determine the most effective and cost-effective support for establishing consistent antidepressant medication taking routines to improve clinical outcomes of adult primary care patients with depression We will conduct a 3-arm randomized controlled trial RCT to compare with usual care the short-term and extended effectiveness of two adherence support strategies for primary care patients with depression who have been newly prescribed antidepressant medications We will examine whether personalized daily text messages with and without financial incentives improves antidepressant adherence and depression symptoms Adherence will be measured with a wireless pill bottle at 6 and 12 weeks Depression symptoms will be collected via telephone by a trained assessor at 6 and 12 weeks Our Specific Aims are to

i Determine the relative effectiveness of 1 12 weeks of personalized daily text reminders without financial incentives reminders alone 2 12 weeks of the text reminders paired with 6 weeks of financial incentives reminders and incentives compared with 3 usual care and with each other non-inferiority The primary outcome will be symptom response on the PHQ-9 depression rating scale at 12 weeks

ii Explore the effectiveness of each study intervention arm compared to usual care and to each other on antidepressant adherence at 6 and 12 weeks

iii Use qualitative inquiry of antidepressant adherent and non-adherent study patients to explore opportunities to maximize the effectiveness of the financial incentives and reminders to increase antidepressant medication adherence

Widespread problems with antidepressant adherence especially during the early stage of treatment undermine the primary care treatment of depression This study will test whether personalized daily text messages grounded in behavioral economics principles alone or combined with financial incentives based on contingency management principles improves depression outcomes
