Abstract

BACKGROUND

To support longitudinal research into mood in adolescents we sought to assess the feasibility of collecting mood data via Short Message Service (SMS) over 3 years, and to investigate the relationship between SMS data and self-report measures of depression.

METHODS

Prospective cohort study of young people aged 9 to 14 years at baseline. Participants completed Short Mood and Feelings Questionnaire (SMFQ) and the Youth Self Report Anxious/Depressed ((YSR)/AD) and Withdrawn/Depressed (YSR/WD) scales at baseline and annually for 3 years. In addition, at 3 monthly intervals they responded to an SMS asking them to rate their mood from 0 to 9 (9 highest).

RESULTS

277 young people (43% female) completed all four waves of the survey. There was a 87% response rate to requests for SMS Mood ratings. Mean SMS Mood decreased over time for females (p = 0.006) but not males (p = 0.45). We found an inverse association between SMS Mood and the SMFQ, YSR/AD and YSR/WD, scales in females and the SMFQ and YSR/WD scales in males. 45% of participants reported at least one SMS Mood rating score below 5, while 5% reported clusters of low SMS scores. Clusters of low SMS Mood scores were associated with SMFQ scores in the clinical range at 24 (OR = 4.45) and 36 months (OR = 4.72), and YSR/WD in the clinical range at 36 months (OR = 4.61).

CONCLUSIONS

SMS Mood ratings represent a feasible means to augment but not replace assessment of mood obtained using standard instruments.

摘要

背景

为支持对青少年情绪的纵向研究，我们试图评估通过短信服务（SMS）在3年内收集情绪数据的可行性，并调查短信数据与抑郁症自我报告测量之间的关系。

方法

对基线时年龄在9至14岁的年轻人进行前瞻性队列研究。参与者在基线时以及之后3年每年完成简短情绪与感受问卷（SMFQ）以及青少年自我报告焦虑/抑郁（（YSR）/AD）和退缩/抑郁（YSR/WD）量表。此外，他们每隔3个月回复一条短信，要求他们对自己的情绪从0到9进行评分（9分表示最高）。

结果

277名年轻人（43%为女性）完成了所有四轮调查。短信情绪评分请求的回复率为87%。女性的平均短信情绪评分随时间下降（p = 0.006），而男性则没有（p = 0.45）。我们发现，女性的短信情绪评分与SMFQ、YSR/AD和YSR/WD量表之间存在负相关，男性的短信情绪评分与SMFQ和YSR/WD量表之间存在负相关。45%的参与者报告至少有一次短信情绪评分低于5分，而5%的参与者报告有多组低短信评分。低短信情绪评分组与24个月（OR = 4.45）和36个月时临床范围内的SMFQ评分相关，以及与36个月时临床范围内的YSR/WD评分相关（OR = 4.61）。
