Why would I want to get involved?

This is your chance to tell researchers studying adolescent depression what is important to you!

  • You can help us come to a common understanding of the most important “outcomes” to measure in all teenage depression studies.  

The things that are measured in research studies are called the study “outcomes,” for example: 

  • Quality of life 

    • How depression affects daily activities

  • Sleep problems ​​

  • Treatment satisfaction 

    • How satisfied you are with the way your health-care providers are treating/managing your depression​

  • The goal of this study is to create and share a short list of important outcomes, and instructions on how to measure them.

    • Measuring the same outcomes in the same way means we can compare findings from different studies, which makes it easier to find out which treatments work the best!  

ABOUT US

IN-ROADS aims to establish a core outcome set (COS) for use in adolescent major depressive disorder (MDD) clinical trials assessing any treatment intervention. Development of an adolescent MDD COS for use in future clinical trials will improve outcome selection and measurement thereby ensuring comparability between trials and fostering meaningful comparisons of trials and meta-analyses. The COS will be developed based on the input of patients, caregivers, clinicians, researchers, policy makers, and key international stakeholders.
