About the Project: The goal of the project is to see if we can enhance treatment outcomes for patients with moderate to severe depression by personalizing allocation to one of the two treatments; additionally, we aim to identify those patients who are unlikely to respond to either treatment and should be referred to specialist care. To achieve this, we will use machine learning to develop a precision treatment rule (PTR) based on a wide range of baseline moderators which are feasible to assess in routine care settings. Our primary hypothesis is that those patients randomized by chance to their optimal intervention as indicated by the PTR will be more likely to remit and recover than those who are not. Moreover, we hypothesize that using our PTR to select the optimal treatment for each individual patient will prove to be more cost-effective than leaving things to chance. We also plan to explore secondary questions, such as whether we can enhance our mediation tests by including the PTR in interactions with our purported mediators (moderated mediation). Further, we plan to explore whether we can enhance the prescriptive utility of our PTR via genotyping our sample and calculating polygenic risk scores based on very large sample Genome-Wide Association studies.
