Abstract
Background Substance use among adolescents is common and associated with significant consequences, including depression. Adolescents can experience myriad problems related to early onset substance use and depression, making further understanding of this comorbidity necessary. Method Participants were a subset from a large-scale performance improvement project and consisted of adolescents aged 12-18 who screened positive for depression during their routine medical or psychiatric appointment and who then completed the substance use assessment Car, Relax, Alone, Forget, Friends, Trouble Version 2.1 (CRAFFT). Participants with problematic substance use had a CRAFFT score ≥2. Results A total of 621 participants were included in this study, and 105 (16.9%) reported problematic substance use. Compared with participants without problematic substance use, those with problematic use were more likely to have moderate to severe depression and anxiety, as well as significantly higher irritability, impulsivity, suicidal propensity, and suicidal thoughts scores. Controlling for age at screening, sex, race, and ethnicity, problematic substance use remained a significant predictor of depression severity, impulsivity, suicidal propensity, and suicidal thoughts. Limitations Participants were from a large, metropolitan area of the Southwest United States who must have screened positive for depression, so results may not generalize. Because all participants were underage, they may have been wary in responding to the substance use assessment accurately. Conclusions By using a large, diverse sample in a real-world clinical setting, findings strengthen the association between problematic substance use and depression and depression-associated symptoms among adolescents, highlighting the need for early detection and universal depression screening.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Major depressive disorder (MDD) is common in youth and among the most frequent comorbid disorders in pediatric obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), but it is unclear whether the presence of OCD affects the symptom presentation of MDD in youth. METHODS A sample of youth with OCD and MDD (n = 124) and a sample of youth with MDD but no OCD (n = 673) completed the Patient Health Questionnaire for Adolescents (PHQ-A). The overall and symptom-level presentation of MDD were examined using group comparisons and network analysis. RESULTS Youth with MDD and OCD, compared to those with MDD and no OCD, had more severe MDD (Cohen's d = 0.39) and more reported moderate to severe depression (75 % vs 61 %). When accounting for demographic variables and the overall severity of MDD, those with comorbid OCD reported lower levels of anhedonia and more severe difficulties with psychomotor retardation/agitation. No significant differences in the interconnections among symptoms emerged. LIMITATIONS Data were cross-sectional and self-reported, gold standard diagnostic tools were not used to assess OCD, and the sample size for the group with MDD and OCD was relatively small yielding low statistical power for network analysis. CONCLUSIONS Youth with MDD and OCD have more severe MDD than those with MDD and no OCD and they experience more psychomotor issues and less anhedonia, which may relate to the behavioral activation characteristic of OCD.

Abstract
Further research is needed to help improve both the standard of care and the outcome for patients with treatment-resistant depression. A particularly critical evidence gap exists with respect to whether pharmacological or non-pharmacological augmentation is superior to antidepressant switch, or vice-versa. The objective of this study was to compare the effectiveness of augmentation with aripiprazole or repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation versus switching to the antidepressant venlafaxine XR (or duloxetine for those not eligible to receive venlafaxine) for treatment-resistant depression. In this multi-site, 8-week, randomized, open-label study, 278 subjects (196 females and 82 males, mean age 45.6 years (SD 15.3)) with treatment-resistant depression were assigned in a 1:1:1 fashion to treatment with either of these three interventions; 235 subjects completed the study. 260 randomized subjects with at least one post-baseline Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating (MADRS) assessment were included in the analysis. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (score change (standard error (se)) = -17.39 (1.3) (p = 0.015) but not aripiprazole augmentation (score change (se) = -14.9 (1.1) (p = 0.069) was superior to switch (score change (se) = -13.22 (1.1)) on the MADRS. Aripiprazole (mean change (se) = -37.79 (2.9) (p = 0.003) but not repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation augmentation (mean change (se) = -42.96 (3.6) (p = 0.031) was superior to switch (mean change (se) = -34.45 (3.0)) on the symptoms of depression questionnaire. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation augmentation was shown to be more effective than switching antidepressants in treatment-resistant depression on the study primary measure. In light of these findings, clinicians should consider repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation augmentation early-on for treatment-resistant depression.Trial registration: ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT02977299.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) measure, which assesses past week status of seven domains (physical function mobility, anxiety, depressive symptoms, fatigue, peer relationships, pain interference, and pain intensity), represents a new paradigm using patient-reported outcomes. We used a data-driven approach with PROMIS to identify subgroups of youths receiving depression treatment. METHODS Youths (n = 721) enrolled in the Texas Youth Depression and Suicide Research Network who completed the PROMIS were analyzed. Latent class analyses (LCAs) identified subgroups and compared their baseline clinical/sociodemographic features. RESULTS Compared to population norms, our sample had worse than average physical function, anxiety, depression, fatigue, and pain interference. Using LCA, four subgroups were identified: 1) lower symptom severity and higher physical functioning (14.6 %); 2) higher symptom burden, higher pain interference/intensity, and lower physical functioning (52.7 %); 3) higher symptom burden, higher pain interference/intensity, but with higher physical functioning (9.2 %); and 4) higher symptom burden, but lower physical functioning and pain interference/intensity (23.6 %). Group 3 demonstrated higher resilience than Group 2. In contrast, Group 2 had higher anxiety than Group 4. LIMITATIONS Individuals may have different symptom profiles due to the observational nature of the study. Replication of these subgroups may be difficult, as future samples may differ in these characteristics. Further work may demonstrate the stability of these groups. CONCLUSIONS A data-driven analysis identified a small but significant subgroup with high physical functioning despite high symptom burden and pain, and this group reported higher resilience. Resilience-enhancing interventions may help improve functional outcomes in depressed youth.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Profiling patients on a proposed 'immunometabolic depression' (IMD) dimension, described as a cluster of atypical depressive symptoms related to energy regulation and immunometabolic dysregulations, may optimise personalised treatment. AIMS To test the hypothesis that baseline IMD features predict poorer treatment outcomes with antidepressants. METHOD Data on 2551 individuals with depression across the iSPOT-D (n = 967), CO-MED (n = 665), GENDEP (n = 773) and EMBARC (n = 146) clinical trials were used. Predictors included baseline severity of atypical energy-related symptoms (AES), body mass index (BMI) and C-reactive protein levels (CRP, three trials only) separately and aggregated into an IMD index. Mixed models on the primary outcome (change in depressive symptom severity) and logistic regressions on secondary outcomes (response and remission) were conducted for the individual trial data-sets and pooled using random-effects meta-analyses. RESULTS Although AES severity and BMI did not predict changes in depressive symptom severity, higher baseline CRP predicted smaller reductions in depressive symptoms (n = 376, βpooled = 0.06, P = 0.049, 95% CI 0.0001-0.12, I2 = 3.61%); this was also found for an IMD index combining these features (n = 372, βpooled = 0.12, s.e. = 0.12, P = 0.031, 95% CI 0.01-0.22, I2= 23.91%), with a higher - but still small - effect size compared with CRP. Confining analyses to selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor users indicated larger effects of CRP (βpooled = 0.16) and the IMD index (βpooled = 0.20). Baseline IMD features, both separately and combined, did not predict response or remission. CONCLUSIONS Depressive symptoms of people with more IMD features improved less when treated with antidepressants. However, clinical relevance is limited owing to small effect sizes in inconsistent associations. Whether these patients would benefit more from treatments targeting immunometabolic pathways remains to be investigated.

Abstract
Background: Similar outcomes and remission rates have been found for the treatment of depression in adults in primary and psychiatric care settings. However, comparatively little is known about how pediatric depression is managed across different settings. This study aims to address this gap by comparing depression treatment in pediatric and psychiatric settings. We hypothesized that pediatric care settings would be more likely to treat individuals with lower depression severity and would select pharmacotherapy less frequently as a treatment option. Methods: Patients (n = 3498) were screened for depression at a children's hospital from May 2017 to May 2022 as part of the VitalSign6 project, a web-based application for depression management. The two-item patient health questionnaire (PHQ) was used for screening, and the data set contains patient-reported measures and provider-reported diagnoses and treatment selections at each clinic visit. Patients with nine-item PHQ (PHQ-9) scores ≥10 at baseline were included in the analysis to compare diagnosis and treatment recommendations between pediatric and psychiatric settings. Results: Among the 1323 patients who screened positive for depression, those in psychiatric settings had higher PHQ-9 scores (15.9 ± 5.0 vs. 12.1 ± 5.5; p < 0.0001). Patients with PHQ-9 ≥ 10 in psychiatric settings were more likely to be diagnosed with major depressive disorder (60.6% vs. 24.7%, p < 0.0001) and receive pharmacotherapy (54.8% vs. 6.6%) than those in pediatric settings. Pediatric setting patients were more likely to receive nonpharmacological treatment alone (36.3% vs. 4.3%) or an outside referral (27.7% vs. 5.7%). Remission rates did not significantly differ between the two settings. Conclusions: Youth in psychiatric settings are more likely to screen positive for depression and to have greater depression severity than those in pediatric settings. Both settings provide treatment recommendations for moderate-to-severe depression, but treatment types vary substantially. Yet, remission rates remain similar. Further research is needed to understand the nuances of treatment differences and their implications.

Abstract
Depression and suicidality are prevalent in youth and are associated with a range of negative outcomes. The current study aimed to evaluate a measurement-based care (MBC) software (VitalSign6) tool to improve the screening and treatment of depression and suicidality in youth aged 8-17 years within a rural, underserved population. To assess for depression and suicidality, the Patient Health Questionnaire-2 was administered as an initial screen, and the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 Modified for Adolescents (PHQ-9-A) was administered if the initial screen was positive. Data were collected at medical clinics over one year, and descriptive statistics and t-tests or Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney tests were conducted. A total of 1,984 youth were initially screened (mean age of 13 years; 51.6% female); 24.2% screened positive for depression, and 14.9% endorsed suicidality. Of those who screened positive, the mean PHQ-9-A score was 12.8; 66.9% had PHQ-9-A scores in the moderate to severe range, and 44.2% endorsed suicidality. Almost half of the youth who screened positive for depression had at least one follow-up assessment, and about one quarter achieved remission 4 months after initial screening. Adolescents (12-17 years) had higher PHQ-9-A scores, higher suicidality, and more follow-up assessments than younger youth (8-11 years). Younger youth had higher rates of remission. The widespread use of MBC was feasible in this setting. It is important to utilize MBC to identify and treat youth with depression and suicidality and to do so in younger populations to improve their trajectory over time; VitalSign6 is one tool to help achieve these goals.

Abstract
Integration of measurement-based care (MBC) into clinical practice has shown promise in improving treatment outcomes for depression. Yet, without a gold standard measure of MBC, assessing fidelity to the MBC model across various clinical settings is difficult. A central goal of the Texas Youth Depression and Suicide Research Network (TX-YDSRN) was to characterize MBC across the state of Texas through the development of a standardized tool to assess the use of MBC strategies when assessing depression, anxiety, side effects, and treatment adherence. A chart review of clinical visits indicated standardized depression measures (71.2%) and anxiety measures (64%) were being utilized across sites. The use of standardized measures to assess medication adherence and side effects was limited to less than six percent for both, with the majority utilizing clinical interviews to assess adherence and side effects; yet medication was changed in nearly half. Rates of utilization of standardized measures for participants with multiple MBC forms were similar to those who only provided one form.

Abstract
There is a tremendous need for brief, valid, and free assessments of anxiety in child mental healthcare. The goal of this study was to determine the psychometric properties of two such measures, the GAD-7 and PROMIS-Anxiety-4a, in 1000 children, adolescents, and young adults (8-20 years-old) with depression and/or suicidality. The GAD-7, the PROMIS-Anxiety-4a, and other validated assessments of anxiety, physical functioning, and psychiatric diagnoses were completed. Confirmatory factor analyses showed an acceptable fit for a single factor in both measures via all indices but the RMSEA. They demonstrated measurement invariance across pre-adolescents (8-12 years-old) and adolescents and emerging adults (13-20 years-old), though scalar invariance was not observed for the GAD-7. Both measures showed strong convergent validity, GAD-7: r = 0.68; PROMIS-Anxiety-4a: r = 0.75, divergent validity with a measure of physical function, GAD-7: r = -0.24; PROMIS-Anxiety-4a: r = -0.28, good internal consistency, ω = 0.89 for both, and high test-retest reliability, GAD-7: r = 0.69; PROMIS-Anxiety-4a: r = 0.71. Both measures also showed acceptable sensitivity and specificity in detecting the presence of any anxiety disorder, GAD-7 cut-off score of 10: AUC = 0.75; PROMIS-Anxiety-4a cutoff score of 12: AUC = 0.79. The GAD-7 correlated similarly with the Screen for Child Anxiety Related Disorders total score and generalized anxiety subscale, and also showed similar diagnostic sensitivity and specificity when used to detect the presence of any anxiety disorder vs. generalized anxiety disorder specifically. Results suggest that both of these brief, publicly available instruments are valid and reliable assessments of anxiety among youth in treatment for depression and/or suicidality.

Abstract
Rates of youth depression and suicide are rising worldwide and represent public health crises. The present study examined the relationship between trauma history and symptoms of depression, suicidal ideation, and anxiety among suicidal and depressed youth. A diverse group of 1000 8-20-year-olds enrolled in the statewide Texas Youth Depression and Suicide Research Network (TX-YDSRN) reported their trauma history (Traumatic Events Screening Inventory for Children) and symptoms of depression (Patient Health Questionnaire for adolescents; PHQ-A), anxiety (Generalized Anxiety Disorder scale; GAD-7), and suicidality (Concise Health Risk Tracking scale; CHRT-SR). Nearly half of the sample reported exposure to multiple categories of traumatic experiences. Number of trauma exposure categories significantly predicted PHQ-A and GAD-7 scores. Exposure to interpersonal trauma and to sexual trauma were significantly associated with PHQ-A, GAD-7, and CHRT-SR scores. The number of trauma exposure categories was associated with increased levels of anxiety and depression; however, only exposure to interpersonal or sexual trauma was associated with more suicidality. Clinicians should assess trauma exposure in patients seeking psychiatric care, especially for interpersonal and sexual trauma, which may be predictive of increased risk for suicidality in depressed youth. Future work should disentangle the effects of specific trauma types from multiple trauma exposure.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate psychometrically and provide crosswalks between 3 self-report measures of depressive symptomatology in youth in psychiatric care settings. Ratings included the Patient Health Questionnaire for Adolescents (PHQ-A), a widely used 9-item self-report; the 16-item Quick Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology-Self-Report (QIDS-SR16); and the 5-item Very Quick Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology-Self-Report (VQIDS-SR5), a recent effort to create a bridge from the QIDS-SR16 to clinical practice. Methods: Data from the Texas Youth Depression and Suicide Research Network Registry (August 26, 2020-May 11, 2022) were included in this work. At first visit, 795 depressed or suicidal adolescent (12-20 years of age) psychiatric outpatients completed the PHQ-A, QIDS-SR16, and VQIDS-SR5. Classical test theory and item-response theory (IRT) analyses were conducted. Crosswalks among total scales were created. Sensitivity to change over 1-month follow-up was assessed for all 3 scales (n = 682). Results: Cronbach alphas were 0.86 (PHQ-A), 0.80 (QIDS-SR16), and 0.76 (VQIDS-SR5). Item total correlations were 0.49-0.72, 0.29-0.64, and 0.43-0.61, respectively. All 3 scales were unidimensional and sensitive to change over a 1-month period. IRT analyses revealed satisfactory item performance. Modest but significant associations were found between baseline to 1-month changes in PHQ-A and VQIDS-SR5 total scores (r = 0.50, P < .0001) and between PHQ-A and QIDS-SR16 total scores (r = 0.56; P < .0001). Categorical thresholds of severity (ie, mild, moderate, severe, and very severe) were comparable between PHQ-A and QIDS-SR16. Conclusions: The PHQ-A, QIDS-SR16, and VQIDS-SR5 are unidimensional, psychometrically acceptable self-reports of depressive prevalence or severity in adolescents and young adults in this sample. Total scale scores on any measure can be converted reliably to those on any other.

Abstract
BACKGROUND American youth are seriously impacted by depression and suicide. The Texas Youth Depression and Suicide Research Network (TX-YDSRN) Participant Registry Study was initiated in 2020 to develop predictive models for treatment outcomes in youth with depression and/or suicidality. This report presents the study rationale, design and baseline characteristics of the first 1000 participants. METHODS TX-YDSRN consists of the Network Hub (coordinating center), 12 medical school "Nodes" (manage/implement study), each with 1-5 primary care, inpatient, and/or outpatient Sub-Sites (recruitment, data collection). Participants are 8-20-year-olds who receive treatment or screen positive for depression and/or suicidality. Baseline data include mood and suicidality symptoms, associated comorbidities, treatment history, services used, and social determinants of health. Subsequent assessments occur every two months for 24 months. RESULTS Among 1000 participants, 68.7 % were 12-17 years, 24.6 % were ≥ 18 years, and 6.7 % were < 12. Overall, 36.8 % were non-Hispanic Caucasian, 73.4 % were female, and 79.9 % had a primary depressive disorder. Nearly half of the sample reported ≥1 suicide attempt, with rates similar in youth 12-17 years old (49.9 %) and those 18 years and older (45.5 %); 29.9 % of children <12 reported at least one suicide attempt. Depression and anxiety scores were in the moderate-severe range for all age groups (Patient Health Questionnaire for Adolescents [PHQ-A]: 12.9 ± 6.4; Generalized Anxiety Disorder [GAD-7]: 11.3 ± 5.9). LIMITATIONS The sample includes youth who are receiving depression care at enrollment and may not be representative of non-diagnosed, non-treatment seeking youth. CONCLUSIONS The TX-YDSRN is one of the largest prospective longitudinal cohort registries designed to develop predictive models for outcome trajectories based on disorder heterogeneity, social determinants of health, and treatment availability.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Opioid use disorder (OUD) is a deadly illness that remains undertreated, despite effective pharmacological treatments. Barriers, such as stigma, treatment affordability, and a lack of training and prescribing within medical practices result in low access to treatment. Software-delivered measurement-based care (MBC) is one way to increase treatment access. MBC uses systematic patient symptom assessments to inform an algorithm to support clinicians at critical decision points. METHOD Focus groups of faculty clinicians (N = 33) from 3 clinics were conducted to understand perceptions of OUD diagnosis and treatment and whether a computerized MBC model might assist with diagnosis and treatment. Themes from the transcribed focus groups were identified in two phases: (1) content analysis focused on uncovering general themes; and (2) systematic coding and interpretation of the data. RESULTS Analysis revealed six major themes utilized to develop the coding terms: "distinguishing between chronic pain and OUD," "current practices with patients using prescribed or illicit opioids or other drugs," "attitudes and mindsets about providing screening or treatment for OUD in your practice," "perceived resources needed for treating OUD," "primary care physician role in patient care not specific to OUD," and "reactions to implementation of proposed clinical decision support tool." CONCLUSION Results revealed that systemic and attitudinal barriers to screening, diagnosing, and treating OUD continue to persist. Providers tended to view the software-based MBC program favorably, indicating that it may be a solution to increasing accessibility to OUD treatment; however, further interventions to combat stigma would likely be needed prior to implementation of these programs.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Suicidality in youth is a serious public health problem. The Texas Youth Depression and Suicide Research Network (TX-YDSRN) was initiated in 2020 to create a research registry for youth with depression and/or suicidality in Texas. This report presents baseline clinical/demographic characteristics of the first 1000 participants, focusing on suicidal thoughts and behaviors. METHODS The registry includes 8-20-year-old youth receiving treatment for depression, or who screen positive for depression and/or suicidal ideation/behavior. Baseline data include diagnosis, depression/anxiety severity, suicidal ideation/behavior, trauma history, and measures of resilience. RESULTS We present baseline data on the first 1000 participants. Most (79.6%) of the sample had a primary depressive disorder. The sample had moderate to severe depression (Patient Health Questionnaire for Adolescents, PHQ-A; 12.9 ± 6.4) and anxiety (Generalized Anxiety Disorder, GAD-7; 11.3 ± 5.9). Nearly half reported ≥1 lifetime suicide attempts and 90% reported lifetime or current suicidal ideation. Participants with past/current suicidality (attempts and/or ideation) had greater illness severity (depression, anxiety, and suicidal thoughts/behaviors), lower resilience, and higher rates of trauma exposure than those without suicidality. CONCLUSIONS Baseline data indicate moderate levels of depression, anxiety, and suicidality and their correlates in this cohort. Future reports will determine trajectories of outcomes and predictors, moderators, and social determinants related to these outcomes.

Abstract
Treatment-resistant depression (TRD) is common and associated with multiple serious public health implications. A consensus definition of TRD with demonstrated predictive utility in terms of clinical decision-making and health outcomes does not currently exist. Instead, a plethora of definitions have been proposed, which vary significantly in their conceptual framework. The absence of a consensus definition hampers precise estimates of the prevalence of TRD, and also belies efforts to identify risk factors, prevention opportunities, and effective interventions. In addition, it results in heterogeneity in clinical practice decision-making, adversely affecting quality of care. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Medicines Agency (EMA) have adopted the most used definition of TRD (i.e., inadequate response to a minimum of two antidepressants despite adequacy of the treatment trial and adherence to treatment). It is currently estimated that at least 30% of persons with depression meet this definition. A significant percentage of persons with TRD are actually pseudo-resistant (e.g., due to inadequacy of treatment trials or non-adherence to treatment). Although multiple sociodemographic, clinical, treatment and contextual factors are known to negatively moderate response in persons with depression, very few factors are regarded as predictive of non-response across multiple modalities of treatment. Intravenous ketamine and intranasal esketamine (co-administered with an antidepressant) are established as efficacious in the management of TRD. Some second-generation antipsychotics (e.g., aripiprazole, brexpiprazole, cariprazine, quetiapine XR) are proven effective as adjunctive treatments to antidepressants in partial responders, but only the olanzapine-fluoxetine combination has been studied in FDA-defined TRD. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is established as effective and FDA-approved for individuals with TRD, with accelerated theta-burst TMS also recently showing efficacy. Electroconvulsive therapy is regarded as an effective acute and maintenance intervention in TRD, with preliminary evidence suggesting non-inferiority to acute intravenous ketamine. Evidence for extending antidepressant trial, medication switching and combining antidepressants is mixed. Manual-based psychotherapies are not established as efficacious on their own in TRD, but offer significant symptomatic relief when added to conventional antidepressants. Digital therapeutics are under study and represent a potential future clinical vista in this population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Methamphetamine use disorder (MethUD) disproportionately affects men who have sex exclusively with men or with men and women (collectively MSM/W), compared to men who have sex with women (MSW). This study is the first MethUD medication trial to compare treatment effect for these groups, hypothesizing that extended-release injectable naltrexone 380mg every 3 weeks plus oral extended-release bupropion 450mg daily would be less effective for MSM/W than MSW. METHODS Data come from men (N = 246) in a multi-site, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial with sequential parallel comparison design. In Stage 1 (6-weeks), participants were randomized to active treatment or placebo. In Stage 2 (6-weeks), Stage 1 placebo non-responders were rerandomized. Treatment response was ≥3 methamphetamine-negative urine samples, out of four obtained at the end of Stages 1 and 2. Treatment effect was the active-versus-placebo between-group difference in the weighted average Stages 1 and 2 responses. RESULTS MSM/W (n = 151) were more likely than MSW (n = 95) to be Hispanic, college-educated, and living with HIV. Adjusting for demographics, among MSM/W, response rates were 13.95 % (active treatment) and 2.78 % (placebo) in Stage 1; 23.26 % (active treatment) and 4.26 % (placebo) in Stage 2. Among MSW, response rates were 7.69 % (active treatment) and 5.80 % (placebo) in Stage 1; 3.57 % (active treatment) and 0 % (placebo) in Stage 2. Treatment effect was significantly larger for MSM/W (h = 0.1479) than MSW (h = 0.0227) (p = 0.04). CONCLUSIONS Findings suggest efficacy of extended-release naltrexone plus bupropion for MSM/W, a population heavily burdened by MethUD. While a secondary outcome, this intriguing finding merits testing in prospective trials.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The ability for people living with stimulant use disorder to live meaningful lives requires not only abstinence from addictive substances, but also healthy engagement with their community, lifestyle practices, and overall health. The Treatment Effectiveness Assessment (TEA) assesses components of recovery consisting of four functional domains: substance use, health, lifestyle, and community. This secondary data analysis of 403 participants with severe methamphetamine use disorder tested the reliability and validity of the TEA. METHODS Participants were enrolled in the Accelerated Development of Additive Pharmacotherapy Treatment (ADAPT-2) for methamphetamine use disorder. The study used total TEA and domain scores at baseline to assess factor structure and internal consistency, as well as construct validity related to substance cravings (visual analog scale [VAS]), quality of life (quality-of-life assessment [QoL]), mental health (Patient Health Questionnaire-9 [PHQ-9], Concise Health Risk Tracking Scale Self-Report [CHRT-SR16]), and social support (CHRT-SR16). RESULTS Individual TEA items showed moderate to large correlations with each other (r = 0.27-0.51; p < .001), and strong correlations to the total score (r = 0.69-0.78; p < .001). Internal consistency was strong (coefficient α = 0.73 [0.68-0.77]; coefficient ω = 0.73 [0.69-0.78]). Construct validity was acceptable, with the strongest correlation between the TEA Health item and the general health status item on the QoL (r = 0.53, p < .001). CONCLUSIONS TEA has acceptable levels of reliability and validity supporting prior similar findings in a sample of participants with moderate to severe methamphetamine use disorder. Results from this study provide support for its use in assessing clinically meaningful changes beyond simply reduced substance use.

Abstract
This report examines the predictive capabilities of two scales of suicidality in high-risk adolescents. Charts of adolescents with severe suicidality participating in an intensive outpatient program were reviewed. Self-report data from the 9-item Concise Health Risk Tracking Self-Report (CHRT-SR9) and clinician-completed data from the Columbia Suicide Severity Risk Scale (C-SSRS) were obtained at entry. Scales' performances in predicting suicide attempts and suicidal events were evaluated using logistic regression models and ROC analyses. Of 539 adolescents, 53 had events of which 19 were attempts. The CHRT-SR9 total score predicted events (OR=1.05) and attempts (OR=1.09), as did the C-SSRS Suicide Ideation (SI) Intensity Composite for events (OR=1.10) and attempts (OR=1.16). The CHRT-SR9 AUC was 0.70 (84.2% sensitivity; 41.7% specificity; PPV=5.0%; NPV=98.6%) for attempts. The C-SSRS Intensity Composite AUC was 0.62 (89.5% sensitivity; 24.1% specificity; PPV=4.2%; NPV=98.4%) for attempts. Both the CHRT-SR9 and C-SSRS capture important parameters related to suicidal events or attempts that can help assess suicidal risk in adolescents.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Methamphetamine (MA) use is marked by high rates of comorbid tobacco smoking, which is associated with more severe drug use and worse clinical outcomes compared to single use of either drug. Research has shown the combination of naltrexone plus oral bupropion (NTX-BUP) improves smoking cessation outcomes in non-MA-using populations. In the Accelerated Development of Additive Pharmacotherapy Treatment (ADAPT-2) study, NTX-BUP successfully reduced MA use. Our aim in this secondary data analysis was to examine changes in cigarette smoking among the subgroup of participants reporting comorbid tobacco use in the ADAPT-2 trial. METHODS The multi-site ADAPT-2 study used a randomized, double blind, sequential parallel comparison design to evaluate treatment with extended-release injectable NTX (380 mg every 3 weeks) combined with once-daily oral extended-release BUP (450 mg/day) vs matching injectable and oral placebo in outpatients with moderate or severe MA use disorder. The study assessed smoking outcomes, based on self-reported timeline followback (TLFB) data, twice/week for 13 weeks. RESULTS Of the 403 participants in the ADAPT-2 trial, 290 reported being current cigarette smokers (71.9 %). The study found significant differences (p's < 0.0001) for each smoking outcome indicating greater change in the proportion of nonsmoking days, number of cigarettes smoked per week, and consecutive nonsmoking days, all favoring the group receiving NTX-BUP versus placebo. CONCLUSIONS NTX-BUP was associated with significant reductions in self-reported cigarette smoking in the context of concurrent treatment for MA use disorder. These off-target medication effects warrant prospective investigation using biochemically confirmed measures of smoking abstinence. The development of NTX-BUP as a co-addiction treatment strategy has a potential for high public health impact.

Abstract
The probabilistic reward task (PRT) has identified reward learning impairments in those with major depressive disorder (MDD), as well as anhedonia-specific reward learning impairments. However, attempts to validate the anhedonia-specific impairments have produced inconsistent findings. Thus, we seek to determine whether the Reward Behavior Disengagement (RBD), our proposed economic augmentation of PRT, differs between MDD participants and controls, and whether there is a level at which RBD is high enough for depressed participants to be considered objectively disengaged. Data were gathered as part of the Establishing Moderators and Biosignatures of Antidepressant Response in Clinical Care (EMBARC) study, a double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial of antidepressant response. Participants included 195 individuals with moderate to severe MDD (Quick Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology (QIDS-SR) score ≥ 15), not in treatment for depression, and with complete PRT data. Healthy controls (n = 40) had no history of psychiatric illness, a QIDS-SR score < 8, and complete PRT data. Participants with MDD were treated with sertraline or placebo for 8 weeks (stage I of the EMBARC trial). RBD was applied to PRT data using discriminant analysis, and classified MDD participants as reward task engaged (n = 137) or reward task disengaged (n = 58), relative to controls. Reward task engaged/disengaged groups were compared on sociodemographic features, reward-behavior, and sertraline/placebo response (Hamilton Depression Rating Scale scores). Reward task disengaged MDD participants responded only to sertraline, whereas those who were reward task engaged responded to sertraline and placebo (F(1293) = 4.33, p = 0.038). Reward task engaged/disengaged groups did not differ otherwise. RBD was predictive of reward impairment in depressed patients and may have clinical utility in identifying patients who will benefit from antidepressants.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Major depressive disorder (MDD) is often accompanied by changes in appetite and weight. Prior task-based functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) findings suggest these MDD phenotypes are associated with altered reward and interoceptive processing. METHODS Using resting-state fMRI data, we compared the fractional amplitude of low-frequency fluctuations (fALFF) and seed-based connectivity (SBC) among hyperphagic (n = 77), hypophagic (n = 66), and euphagic (n = 42) MDD groups and a healthy comparison group (n = 38). We examined fALFF and SBC in a mask restricted to reward [nucleus accumbens (NAcc), putamen, caudate, ventral pallidum, and orbitofrontal cortex (OFC)] and interoceptive (anterior insula and hypothalamus) regions and also performed exploratory whole-brain analyses. SBC analyses included as seeds the NAcc and also regions demonstrating group differences in fALFF (i.e. right lateral OFC and right anterior insula). All analyses used threshold-free cluster enhancement. RESULTS Mask-restricted analyses revealed stronger fALFF in the right lateral OFC, and weaker fALFF in the right anterior insula, for hyperphagic MDD v. healthy comparison. We also found weaker SBC between the right lateral OFC and left anterior insula for hyperphagic MDD v. healthy comparison. Whole-brain analyses revealed weaker fALFF in the right anterior insula, and stronger SBC between the right lateral OFC and left precentral gyrus, for hyperphagic MDD v. healthy comparison. Findings were no longer significant after controlling for body mass index, which was higher for hyperphagic MDD. CONCLUSIONS Our results suggest hyperphagic MDD may be associated with altered activity in and connectivity between interoceptive and reward regions.

Abstract
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), anxiety disorders, and depressive disorders are highly comorbid, and each contribute to significant functional impairment for affected youth. Comorbid anxiety disorders in depressed youth have been associated with greater depressive symptom severity and impairment, but the impact of comorbid OCD in this population remains unclear. Accordingly, the present study examined the differential clinical characteristics of youth with depression and comorbid OCD relative to age/gender matched depressed youth with no such comorbidity and to those with depression and a comorbid (non-OCD) anxiety disorder. A sample of 797 youth and young adults ages 8-20 years who met diagnostic criteria for depression alone, depression with co-occurring OCD or any anxiety disorder were included in the present study. Rates of comorbid anxiety and OCD were very high (60.5% and 15.5%, respectively). Relative to youth with only depression, depressed youth with comorbid OCD or anxiety had greater severity of depression, suicidality, and overall impairment in social, physical, and emotional functioning. These results highlight the contribution of OCD or anxiety comorbidity in more complex clinical presentations for depressed youth.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Socio-cultural (gender) and biological (sex)-based differences contribute to psychostimulant susceptibility, potentially affecting treatment responsiveness among women with methamphetamine use disorder (MUD). The aims were to measure (i) how women with MUD independently and compared with men respond to treatment versus placebo and (ii) among women, how the hormonal method of contraception (HMC) affects treatment responsiveness. DESIGN This was a secondary analysis of ADAPT-2, a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter, two-stage sequential parallel comparison design trial. SETTING United States. PARTICIPANTS This study comprised 126 women (403 total participants); average age = 40.1 years (standard deviation = 9.6) with moderate to severe MUD. INTERVENTIONS Interventions were combination intramuscular naltrexone (380 mg/3 weeks) and oral bupropion (450 mg daily) versus placebo. MEASUREMENTS Treatment response was measured using a minimum of three of four negative methamphetamine urine drug tests during the last 2 weeks of each stage; treatment effect was the difference between weighted treatment responses of each stage. FINDINGS At baseline, women used methamphetamine intravenously fewer days than men [15.4 versus 23.1% days, P = 0.050, difference = -7.7, 95% confidence interval (CI) = -15.0 to -0.3] and more women than men had anxiety (59.5 versus 47.6%, P = 0.027, difference = 11.9%, 95% CI = 1.5 to 22.3%). Of 113 (89.7%) women capable of pregnancy, 31 (27.4%) used HMC. In Stage 1 29% and Stage 2 5.6% of women on treatment had a response compared with 3.2% and 0% on placebo, respectively. A treatment effect was found independently for females and males (P < 0.001); with no between-gender treatment effect (0.144 females versus 0.100 males; P = 0.363, difference = 0.044, 95% CI = -0.050 to 0.137). Treatment effect did not differ by HMC use (0.156 HMC versus 0.128 none; P = 0.769, difference = 0.028, 95% CI -0.157 to 0.212). CONCLUSIONS Women with methamphetamine use disorder receiving combined intramuscular naltrexone and oral bupropion treatment achieve greater treatment response than placebo. Treatment effect does not differ by HMC.

Abstract
Background The co-occurrence of suicidality and substance use disorders has been well established, but rating scales to examine suicidal behavior and risk are sparse among participants with substance use disorders. We examined the psychometric properties of the 16-item Concise Health Risk Tracking Scale - Self Report (CHRT-SR16) to measure suicidality among adults with moderate-to-severe methamphetamine use disorder. Methods Participants (n = 403) with moderate-to-severe methamphetamine use disorder completed the CHRT-SR16 as part of a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled pharmacotherapy trial. The CHRT-SR16 factor structure was assessed using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Internal consistency was estimated with coefficients alpha (α) and omega (ω), test-retest reliability with intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and standard error of measurement, and convergent validity using Spearman's ρ rank order correlation coefficient test between CHRT-SR16 factors and the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9). The analyses utilized baseline and week 1 data (for test-retest reliability only). Results CFA revealed a seven-factor model of Pessimism, Helplessness, Social Support, Despair, Impulsivity, Irritability, and Suicidal Thoughts as the best-fitting model. The CHRT-SR16 also exhibited strong internal consistency (α = 0.89; ω = 0.89), test-retest reliability (ICC = 0.78) and convergent validity with the PHQ-9 total score (ρ = 0.62). Conclusion The CHRT-SR16 showed strong psychometric properties in a sample of participants with primary methamphetamine use disorder. Clinicaltrialsgov Identifier NCT03078075.

Abstract
Major depressive disorder is characterized by depressed mood and/or anhedonia with neurovegetative symptoms and neurocognitive changes affecting an individual's functioning in multiple aspects of life. Treatment outcomes with commonly used antidepressants remain suboptimal. Treatment-resistant depression (TRD) should be considered after inadequate improvement with two or more antidepressant treatments of adequate dose and duration. TRD has been associated with increased disease burden including higher associated costs (both socially and financially) affecting both the individual and society. Additional research is needed to better understand the long-term burden of TRD to both the individual and society.

Abstract
Measurement-based care (MBC) is the systematic screening and ongoing assessment of symptoms, side effects, and adherence to adjust treatments as needed based on these factors. Studies show MBC leads to improved outcomes for depression and treatment-resistant depression (TRD). In fact, MBC may reduce the chances of developing TRD, as it leads to optimized treatment strategies based on symptom changes and compliance. There are many rating scales available for monitoring depressive symptoms, side effects, and adherence. These rating scales can be used in a variety of clinical settings to help guide treatment decisions, including depression treatment decisions.

Abstract
Introduction Suicide prevention research is a national priority, and national guidance includes the development of suicide risk management protocols (SRMPs) for the assessment and management of suicidal ideation and behavior in research trials. Few published studies describe how researchers develop and implement SRMPs or articulate what constitutes an acceptable and effective SRMP. Methods The Texas Youth Depression and Suicide Research Network (TX-YDSRN) was developed with the goal of evaluating screening and measurement-based care in Texas youth with depression or suicidality (i.e., suicidal ideation and/or suicidal behavior). The SRMP was developed for TX-YDSRN through a collaborative, iterative process, consistent with a Learning Healthcare System model. Results The final SMRP included training, educational resources for research staff, educational resources for research participants, risk assessment and management strategies, and clinical and research oversight. Conclusion The TX-YDSRN SRMP is one methodology for addressing youth participant suicide risk. The development and testing of standard methodologies with a focus on participant safety is an important next step to further the field of suicide prevention research.

Abstract
Background Poor treatment outcomes, disease recurrence, and medical co-morbidities contribute to the significant burden caused by depressive disorders. Increasing physical activity in persons with depression has the potential to improve both depression treatment outcomes and physical health. However, evidence for physical activity interventions that can be delivered as part of depression treatment remains limited. This study will examine a Behavioral Activation teletherapy intervention adapted to include a specific focus on increasing physical activity. Methods The two-phase study will include a preliminary pilot study (n = 15) to evaluate and refine the manualized intervention using a mixed-methods approach followed by a single-arm study to evaluate feasibility and preliminary efficacy of the adapted BA teletherapy. Participants will be adults, age 18-64, with moderate to severe depressive symptoms (defined as a PHQ-9 score ≥10) and who currently engage in 90 min or less of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity. Individuals will be excluded if they have a current or past manic or hypomanic episode, psychosis, schizophrenia or schizophreniform disorder, or active suicidal ideation, or if not medically-cleared to exercise. The BA intervention will consist of 8 weekly sessions, followed by 2 bi-weekly booster sessions. Feasibility outcomes will include metrics of screening, enrollment, intervention adherence and fidelity, and participant retention. Intervention preliminary efficacy will be evaluated through assessment of changes in depressive symptoms and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity. Conclusion Data from this trial will be used to support the conduct of a randomized controlled trial to evaluate the efficacy of the adapted BA intervention.

Abstract
Owing to the link between immune dysfunction and treatment-resistant depression (TRD) and the overwhelming evidence that the immune dysregulation and major depressive disorder (MDD) are associated with each other, using immune profiles to identify the biological distinct subgroup may be the step forward to understanding MDD and TRD. This report aims to briefly review the role of inflammation in the pathophysiology of depression (and TRD in particular), the role of immune dysfunction to guide precision medicine, tools used to understand immune function, and novel statistical techniques.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study evaluated the psychometric properties of the 9-item Concise Health Risk Tracking Self-Report (CHRT-SR9), a measure of suicidality, in adolescent psychiatric outpatients. METHODS Altogether, 933 depressed or suicidal adolescents (12-20 years of age), receiving treatment at psychiatric outpatient clinics in Texas, completed the 16-item CHRT-SR at baseline and one month later. CHRT-SR9 was extracted from CHRT-SR16 using multigroup confirmatory factor analysis. Sex and age measurement invariance, classical test theory, item response theory (IRT), and concurrent validity analyses (against the suicidal ideation Item 9 of Patient Health Questionnaire-Adolescent (PHQ-A)) were conducted. RESULTS The CHRT-SR9 demonstrated excellent model fit with four factors (pessimism, helplessness, despair, and suicidal thoughts). Measurement invariance was upheld. Acceptable item-total correlations (0.56-0.80) and internal consistency (Spearman-Brown 0.78-0.89) were revealed. IRT analyses showed a unidimensional instrument with excellent item performance. Using the CHRT-SR9 total score as a measure of overall suicidality and comparing it against levels of PHQ-A Item 9, the mean (standard deviation) of CHRT-SR9 total score was 8.64 (SD = 5.97) for no-risk (0 on Item 9), 17.05 (SD = 5.00) for mild, 23.16 (SD = 5.05) for moderate, and 26.96 (SD = 5.24) for severe-risk (3 on Item 9). Significant differences (p-value<0.0001) indicated that CHRT-SR9 total score distinguished between levels of suicidal risk. Furthermore, CHRT-SR9 was sensitive to change over a one-month period. LIMITATIONS Whether CHRT-SR9 predicts actual suicidal attempts in adolescents is not well defined. CONCLUSION The CHRT-SR9 is an easy-to-administer, user-friendly self-report with good psychometric qualities which makes it an excellent screening measure of suicidal risk in adolescent psychiatric outpatients.

Abstract
Alterations in the gut microbiome have been linked to a variety of mental illnesses including anxiety and depression. This study utilized advanced bioinformatics tools that integrated both the compositional and community nature of gut microbiota to investigate how gut microbiota influence clinical symptoms in a sample of participants with depression. Gut microbiota of 179 participants with major depressive disorder (MDD) in the Texas Resilience Against Depression (T-RAD) study were analyzed by 16S rRNA gene sequencing of stool samples. Severity of anxiety, depression, and anhedonia symptoms were assessed with General Anxiety Disorder - 7 item scale, Patient Health 9-item Questionnaire, and Dimensional Anhedonia Rating Scale, respectively. Using weighted correlation network analysis, a data-driven approach, three co-occurrence networks of bacterial taxa were identified. One of these co-occurrence networks was significantly associated with clinical features including depression and anxiety. The hub taxa associated with this co-occurrence module -one Ruminococcaceae family taxon, one Clostridiales vadinBB60 group family taxon, and one Christencenellaceae family taxon- were connected to several additional butyrate-producing bacteria suggesting that deficits in butyrate production may contribute to clinical symptoms. Therefore, by considering the community nature of the gut microbiome in a real world clinical sample, this study identified a gut microbial co-occurrence network that was significantly associated with clinical anxiety in a cohort of depressed individuals.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Depressive symptoms result in considerable burden for breast cancer survivors. Increased physical activity may reduce these burdens but existing evidence from physical activity interventions in equivocal. Furthermore, physical activity intervention strategies may differentially impact depressive symptoms, which should be considered in designing and optimizing behavioral interventions for breast cancer survivors. METHODS The Physical Activity for Cancer Survivors (PACES) trial enrolled 336 participants breast cancer survivors, who were 3 months to 10 years post-treatment, and insufficiently active (< 150 min of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity per week). Participants were randomly assigned to a combination of 4 intervention strategies in a full-factorial design: 1) supervised exercise sessions, 2) facility access, 3) Active Living Every Day, and 4) Fitbit self-monitoring. Depressive symptoms were assessed at baseline, mid-intervention (3 months), and post-intervention (6 months) using the Quick Inventory for Depressive Symptoms. Change in depressive symptoms were analyzed using a linear mixed-effects model. RESULTS Results from the linear mixed-effects model indicated that depressive symptoms decreased significantly across the entire study sample over the 6-month intervention (F = 4.09, p = 0.044). A significant ALED x time interaction indicated participants who received the ALED intervention experienced greater reductions in depressive symptoms (F = 5.29, p = 0.022). No other intervention strategy significantly impacted depressive symptoms. CONCLUSIONS The ALED intervention consists of strategies (i.e., goal setting, social support) that may have a beneficial impact on depressive symptoms above and beyond the effect of increased physical activity. Our findings highlight the need to consider secondary outcomes when designing and optimizing physical activity interventions. TRIAL REGISTRATION ClinicalTrials.gov NCT03060941.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Major depressive disorder (MDD) may be associated with accelerated brain aging (higher brain age than chronological age). This report evaluated whether brain age is a clinically useful biomarker by checking its test-retest reliability using magnetic resonance imaging scans acquired 1 week apart and by evaluating the association of accelerated brain aging with symptom severity and antidepressant treatment outcomes. METHODS Brain age was estimated in participants of the EMBARC (Establishing Moderators and Biosignatures of Antidepressant Response in Clinical Care) study using T1-weighted structural magnetic resonance imaging (MDD n = 290; female n = 192; healthy control participants n = 39; female n = 24). Intraclass correlation coefficient was used for baseline-to-week-1 test-retest reliability. Association of baseline Δ brain age (brain age minus chronological age) with Hamilton Depression Rating Scale-17 and Concise Health Risk Tracking Self-Report domains (impulsivity, suicide propensity [measures: pessimism, helplessness, perceived lack of social support, and despair], and suicidal thoughts) were assessed at baseline (linear regression) and during 8-week-long treatment with either sertraline or placebo (repeated-measures mixed models). RESULTS Mean ± SD baseline chronological age, brain age, and Δ brain age were 37.1 ± 13.3, 40.6 ± 13.1, and 3.1 ± 6.1 years in MDD and 37.1 ± 14.7, 38.4 ± 12.9, and 0.6 ± 5.5 years in healthy control groups, respectively. Test-retest reliability was high (intraclass correlation coefficient = 0.98-1.00). Higher baseline Δ brain age in the MDD group was associated with higher baseline impulsivity and suicide propensity and predicted smaller baseline-to-week-8 reductions in Hamilton Depression Rating Scale-17, impulsivity, and suicide propensity with sertraline but not with placebo. CONCLUSIONS Brain age is a reliable and potentially clinically useful biomarker that can prognosticate antidepressant treatment outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Resilience is defined as the ability to rely on internal characteristics and external strengths to adapt to adverse events. Although universal resilience-enhancing programs are effective for adolescents, there is a need for interventions that are more easily accessible and can be customized for individual teens. Phone apps are easy to use, can be tailored to individuals, and have demonstrated positive effects for mental health outcomes. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to examine the feasibility and acceptability of a resilience app for adolescents. This app aimed to enhance resilience through modules focused on depression prevention, stress management, and healthy lifestyle approaches containing videos, measures, and practice suggestions. Furthermore, the study aimed to evaluate the effect of short-term app use on changes in resilience. METHODS In study 1, individual interviews and focus groups were conducted with adolescents, parents, teachers, and clinicians to discuss possible incentives for using a mental health app, the benefits of app use, and concerns associated with app use. Feedback from study 1 led to ideas for the prototype. In study 2, individual interviews and focus groups were conducted with adolescents, parents, teachers, and clinicians to gather feedback about the resilience app prototype. Feedback from study 2 led to changes in the prototype, although not all suggestions could be implemented. In study 3, 40 adolescents used the app for 30 days to determine feasibility and acceptability. Additionally, resilience and secondary mental health outcomes were measured before and after app use. Dependent samples 2-tailed t tests were conducted to determine whether there were changes in resilience and secondary mental health outcomes among the adolescents before and after app use. RESULTS Multiple themes were identified through study 1 individual interviews and focus groups, including app content, features, engagement, benefits, concerns, and improvement. Specifically, the adolescents provided helpful suggestions for making the prototype more appealing and functional for teen users. Study 2 adolescents and adults reported that the prototype was feasible and acceptable through the Computer System Usability Questionnaire (mean 6.30, SD 1.03) and Mobile App Rating Scale (mean 4.08, SD 0.61). In study 2, there were no significant differences in resilience and mental health outcomes after using the app for 30 days. There was variation between the participants in the extent to which they used the app, which may have led to variation in the results. The users appeared to prefer the depression module and survey sections, which provided mental health feedback. CONCLUSIONS Qualitative and quantitative data provide evidence that youth are interested in a resilience mental health app and that the current prototype is feasible. Although there were no significant mental health changes in study 3 users, practical implications and future directions are discussed for mental health app research.

Abstract
This exploratory post hoc analysis of two pooled 4-week, phase 3, double-blind, placebo- and active-controlled studies that compared esketamine nasal spray plus a newly initiated oral antidepressant (ESK+AD; n = 310) with a newly initiated oral AD plus placebo nasal spray (AD+PBO; n = 208) in patients with treatment-resistant depression (TRD) examined baseline patient demographic and psychiatric characteristics as potential predictors of response (≥50% reduction from baseline in Montgomery-Åsberg Depression Rating Scale [MADRS] total score) and remission (MADRS total score ≤12) at day 28. Overall, younger age, any employment, fewer failed ADs in the current depressive episode, and reduction in Clinical Global Impression-Severity (CGI-S) score at day 8 were significant positive predictors of response and remission at day 28. Treatment assignment was an important predictor of both response and remission. Patients treated with ESK+AD had 68% and 55% increased odds of achieving response and remission, respectively, versus those treated with AD+PBO. In the ESK+AD group, attainment of response and remission was more likely in patients who were employed, without significant anxiety at baseline, and who experienced a reduction in CGI-S score at day 8. Identification of predictors of response and remission may facilitate identification of those patients with TRD most likely to benefit from ESK+AD. Trial Registration: ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT02417064 (clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT02417064) and NCT02418585 (clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT02418585).

Abstract
BACKGROUND The suicide rate in youth and young adults continues to climb - we do not understand why this increase is occurring, nor do we have adequate tools to predict or prevent it. Increased efforts to treat underlying depression and other disorders that are highly associated with suicide have had limited impact, despite considerable financial investments in developing and disseminating available methods. Thus, there is a tremendous need to identify potential markers of suicide behavior for youth during this high-risk period. METHODS Funded by the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP), this study aims to map immune dysfunction to suicidal behavior and establish a reliable immune signature of suicide risk that can 1) guide future research into fundamental pathophysiology and 2) identify targets for drug development. The study design is an observational study where blood samples and a comprehensive array of clinical measures are collected from three groups of adolescents (n = 75 each) (1) with suicidal behavior [recent (within 3 months) suicide attempt or suicidal ideation warranting urgent evaluation,] (2) at risk for mood disorders, and (3) who are healthy (no psychiatric history). Participants will complete self-report and clinical assessments, along with a blood draw, at baseline, 3 months, 6 months and 12 months, and online self-report assessments once a month. RESULTS The recruitment for this study is ongoing. LIMITATIONS Observational, variability in treatment regimens. CONCLUSIONS This study will help elucidate immune mechanisms that may play a causal role in suicide and serve as targets for future therapeutic development.

Abstract
Symptoms of irritability, anxiety, panic, and insomnia are common in patients with depression, and their worsening after antidepressant treatment initiation is associated with poorer long-term outcomes. The Concise Associated Symptom Tracking (CAST) scale was developed to measure these symptoms in adults with major depressive disorder (MDD). Here, we evaluate the psychometric properties of CAST in an ongoing community-based observational study involving children, adolescents, and young adults. Individuals from the ongoing Texas Youth Depression and Suicide Research Network (TX-YDSRN; N = 952) with CAST data available were included. Fit statistics [Goodness of Fit Index (GFI), Comparative Fit Index (CFI), and Root Mean Square Error of Approximation (RMSEA)] from confirmatory factor analyses were used to evaluate the five- and four-domain structure of CAST. Item response theory (IRT) analyses were also used. Individuals were grouped based on age (in years) as youths (8-17) and young adults (18-20). Correlations with other clinical measures were used to inform construct validity. Four-domain (irritability, anxiety, panic, and insomnia) 12-item structure of CAST (CAST-12) was optimal for youths (N = 709, GFI = 0.906, CFI = 0.919, RMSEA = 0.095) and young adults (N = 243, GFI = 0.921, CFI = 0.938, RMSEA = 0.0797) with Cronbach's alpha of 0.87 and 0.88, respectively. Slope of each item exceeded 1.0 on IRT analyses suggesting adequate discrimination for each item. Scores on irritability, anxiety, panic, and insomnia were significantly correlated with similar items on other scales. Together these findings suggest that CAST-12 is a valid self-report measure of irritability, anxiety, insomnia, and panic in youths and young adults.

Abstract
Introduction: Data augmentation improves the accuracy of deep learning models when training data are scarce by synthesizing additional samples. This work addresses the lack of validated augmentation methods specific for synthesizing anatomically realistic four-dimensional (4D) (three-dimensional [3D] + time) images for neuroimaging, such as functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), by proposing a new augmentation method. Methods: The proposed method, Brain Library Enrichment through Nonlinear Deformation Synthesis (BLENDS), generates new nonlinear warp fields by combining intersubject coregistration maps, computed using symmetric normalization, through spatial blending. These new warp fields can be applied to existing 4D fMRI to create new augmented images. BLENDS was tested on two neuroimaging problems using de-identified data sets: (1) the prediction of antidepressant response from task-based fMRI (original data set n = 163), and (2) the prediction of Parkinson's disease (PD) symptom trajectory from baseline resting-state fMRI regional homogeneity (original data set n = 43). Results: BLENDS readily generates hundreds of new fMRI from existing images, with unique anatomical variations from the source images, that significantly improve prediction performance. For antidepressant response prediction, augmenting each original image once (2 × the original training data) significantly increased prediction R2 from 0.055 to 0.098 (p < 1 e - 6 ), whereas at 10 × augmentation R2 increased to 0.103. For the prediction of PD trajectory, 10 × augmentation R2 increased from -0.044 to 0.472 (p < 1 e - 6 ). Conclusions: Augmentation of fMRI through nonlinear transformations with BLENDS significantly improved the performance of deep learning models on clinically relevant predictive tasks. This method will help neuroimaging researchers overcome data set size limitations and achieve more accurate predictive models.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Artificial intelligence is currently being used to facilitate early disease detection, better understand disease progression, optimize medication/treatment dosages, and uncover promising novel treatments and potential outcomes. METHODS Utilizing the Sequenced Treatment Alternatives to Relieve Depression (STAR*D) dataset, we built a machine learning model to predict depression remission rates using same clinical data as features for each of the first three antidepressant treatment steps in STAR*D. We only used early treatment data (baseline and first follow up) in each STAR*D step to temporally analyze predictive features of remission at the end of the step. RESULTS Our model showed significant prediction performance across the three treatment steps, At step 1, Model accuracy was 66 %; sensitivity-65 %, specificity-67 %, positive predictive value (PPV)-65.5 %, and negative predictive value (NPV)-66.6 %. At step 2, model accuracy was 71.3 %, sensitivity-74.3 %, specificity-69 %, PPV-64.5 %, and NPV-77.9 %. At step 3, accuracy reached 84.6 %; sensitivity-69 %, specificity-88.8 %, PPV-67 %, and NPV-91.1 %. Across all three steps, the early Quick Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology-Self-Report (QIDS-SR) scores were key elements in predicting the final treatment outcome. The model also identified key sociodemographic factors that predicted treatment remission at different steps. LIMITATIONS The retrospective design, lack of replication in an independent dataset, and the use of "a complete case analysis" model in our analysis. CONCLUSIONS This proof-of-concept study showed that using early treatment data, multi-step temporal prediction of depressive symptom remission results in clinically useful accuracy rates. Whether these predictive models are generalizable deserves further study.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To address the clinical heterogeneity of Major Depressive Disorder (MDD), this investigation determined whether resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) could be deployed to identify circuit based homogeneous subgroups, and whether subgroups identified show differential treatment outcomes. METHODS Pretreatment resting state fMRIs obtained from 278 outpatients with nonpsychotic MDD from Establishing Moderators and Biosignatures of Antidepressant Response for Clinical Care for Depression Study were used to create data-driven subgroups using CLICK clustering. These subgroups were then compared using baseline clinical data, as well as baseline-to-week 8 changes in depression severity measured using the 17-item Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HAMD17) and response/remission rates by treatment group. RESULTS Three subgroups were identified. Cluster-1 was characterized by overallhyperconnectivity coupled with profound hypoconnectivity between the supramarginal gyrus (executive control network; ECN) and the superior frontal cortex (dorsal attention network; DAN). Cluster-2 was characterized by overall hypoconnectivity coupled with hyperconnectivity between supramarginal gyrus (ECN) and superior frontal cortex (DAN). Cluster-3 showed hypoconnectivity, especially profound between the angular cortex (default mode network; DMN) and middle frontal cortex (ECN). While baseline clinical measures did not differentiate the three clusters, Cluster-3 had the remission rate (51.6%) compared to Cluster-1 and Cluster-2 (32.7% and 31.9%) when treated with sertraline. LIMITATIONS Due to the exploratory nature of these analyses, there were no adjustments for multiple comparisons. CONCLUSIONS Baseline functional connectivity can be used to subgroup patients with MDD that differ in acute phase treatment outcomes. Measures of connectivity may address the heterogeneity of MDD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Efforts to develop neuroimaging-based biomarkers in major depressive disorder (MDD), at the individual level, have been limited to date. As diagnostic criteria are currently symptom-based, MDD is conceptualized as a disorder rather than a disease with a known etiology; further, neural measures are often confounded by medication status and heterogeneous symptom states. METHODS We describe a consortium to quantify neuroanatomical and neurofunctional heterogeneity via the dimensions of novel multivariate coordinate system (COORDINATE-MDD). Utilizing imaging harmonization and machine learning methods in a large cohort of medication-free, deeply phenotyped MDD participants, patterns of brain alteration are defined in replicable and neurobiologically-based dimensions and offer the potential to predict treatment response at the individual level. International datasets are being shared from multi-ethnic community populations, first episode and recurrent MDD, which are medication-free, in a current depressive episode with prospective longitudinal treatment outcomes and in remission. Neuroimaging data consist of de-identified, individual, structural MRI and resting-state functional MRI with additional positron emission tomography (PET) data at specific sites. State-of-the-art analytic methods include automated image processing for extraction of anatomical and functional imaging variables, statistical harmonization of imaging variables to account for site and scanner variations, and semi-supervised machine learning methods that identify dominant patterns associated with MDD from neural structure and function in healthy participants. RESULTS We are applying an iterative process by defining the neural dimensions that characterise deeply phenotyped samples and then testing the dimensions in novel samples to assess specificity and reliability. Crucially, we aim to use machine learning methods to identify novel predictors of treatment response based on prospective longitudinal treatment outcome data, and we can externally validate the dimensions in fully independent sites. CONCLUSION We describe the consortium, imaging protocols and analytics using preliminary results. Our findings thus far demonstrate how datasets across many sites can be harmonized and constructively pooled to enable execution of this large-scale project.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the impact of baseline irritability on clinical outcomes in adults with treatment-resistant depression (TRD) treated with fixed or flexible doses of esketamine nasal spray plus a newly initiated oral antidepressant (ESK+AD) and to explore whether treatment with ESK affects irritability symptoms over time. METHODS This was a post hoc analysis of pooled data from two 4-week, double-blind, phase 3 studies: TRANSFORM-1 (NCT02417064) and TRANSFORM-2 (NCT02418585). Adults with TRD (n = 560) were randomly assigned to ESK+AD or placebo nasal spray plus oral antidepressant (AD+PBO). Irritability was assessed with Item 6 of the 7-item Generalized Anxiety Disorder scale at screening and baseline. Changes in depression severity (Montgomery-Åsberg Depression Rating Scale [MADRS] total score) were evaluated by analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) models. Rates of MADRS response (≥50 % decrease from baseline total score) and remission (total score ≤ 12) were examined using multiple logistic regression models. RESULTS Of 560 participants with TRD, 52.9 %, 23.2 %, and 23.9 % had high, low, and varying levels of irritability, respectively. No significant interaction between baseline irritability and treatment group was observed for change in MADRS total score, treatment response, or remission at day 28; numerically greater improvement was observed on all outcomes with ESK+AD versus AD+PBO at day 28 regardless of baseline irritability level. Percentages of patients reporting adverse events were similar across the three baseline irritability groups. LIMITATIONS TRANSFORM-1 and TRANSFORM-2 were not designed to prospectively evaluate predetermined irritability outcomes. CONCLUSIONS These post hoc results support efficacy of ESK+AD in patients with TRD, regardless of baseline irritability.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the psychometric properties of a 9-item Concise Health Risk Tracking Self-Report (or CHRT-SR9) to assess suicidal risk in adult primary care outpatients. METHODS Overall, 369 adults completed the original 14-item version of CHRT-SR at baseline and within 4 months thereafter, from which the CHRT-SR9 was extracted using multigroup confirmatory factor analysis. Measurement invariance (across age and sex) and classical test theory characteristics of the CHRT-SR9 were evaluated. Concurrent validity was assessed by comparing CHRT-SR9 responses to those of the suicide item in the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9), both cross-sectionally and as a change measure over time. RESULTS Confirmatory factor analysis identified the CHRT-SR9 as the optimal solution. Factors included pessimism, helplessness, despair (2 items each) and suicidal thoughts (3 items). Measurement invariance held across sex and age groups, indicating that mean differences among sub-groups were real and not attributable to measurement bias. Classical test theory revealed acceptable item-total correlations overall (0.57-0.79) and internal consistency (Spearman-Brown from 0.76 to 0.90). Concurrent validity analyses revealed that the CHRT-SR9 can measure both improvement and worsening of suicidality over time. A PHQ-9 response of 0, 1, 2, and 3 on the suicide item corresponded to 7.82 (5.53), 16.80 (4.99), 20.71 (5.36), and 25.95 (7.30) (mean and SD) on CHRT-SR9 total score, respectively. CONCLUSION The CHRT-SR9 is a brief self-report evaluating suicidality with excellent psychometric properties that is sensitive to change over time.

Abstract
Objective: Ketamine is a novel and rapidly acting treatment for major depressive disorder (MDD). Benzodiazepines are commonly coprescribed with antidepressants in MDD. This study sought to examine data from a randomized clinical trial that compared a single infusion of intravenous (IV) ketamine to midazolam placebo in treatment-resistant depression (DSM-IV-TR MDD) and to assess whether the use of concomitant oral benzodiazepines differentially affected treatment response to ketamine versus midazolam. Methods: This trial ran from December 2015 to December 2016. Subjects who were taking oral benzodiazepines (n = 44) were compared to those who were not (n = 55). A significant treatment-by-benzodiazepine effect could be interpreted as a possible moderator of differential treatment response to ketamine versus midazolam. Benzodiazepine use was examined as both a binary and a continuous predictor, to assess the impact of dosage. Results: Benzodiazepine users did not differ from non-users on the original study's primary outcome measure, score on the 6-item Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS-6), at baseline, but the former had more severe anxiety. When oral benzodiazepine use was modeled as a binary predictor, benzodiazepine use did not impact differential treatment response. However, when benzodiazepine dosage was considered, there was a significant impact of benzodiazepine use on differential treatment response. Oral benzodiazepines significantly impacted HDRS-6 (P = .018) and Clinical Global Impressions-Severity of Illness scale (CGI-S; P = .008) scores at day 1 (24 hours post treatment); effects were nonsignificant for all day 3 outcomes. Among ketamine subjects, higher doses of benzodiazepines were associated with less improvement in depression scores at day 1. Conclusions: Concomitant oral benzodiazepines at higher doses may attenuate the antidepressant effects of IV ketamine at day 1 but not day 3 post-infusion. Trial Registration: ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT01920555.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Childhood trauma is a common and potent risk factor for developing major depressive disorder in adulthood, associated with earlier onset, more chronic or recurrent symptoms, and greater probability of having comorbidities. Some studies indicate that evidence-based pharmacotherapies and psychotherapies for adult depression might be less efficacious in patients with a history of childhood trauma than patients without childhood trauma, but findings are inconsistent. Therefore, we examined whether individuals with major depressive disorder, including chronic forms of depression, and a reported history of childhood trauma, had more severe depressive symptoms before treatment, had more unfavourable treatment outcomes following active treatments, and were less likely to benefit from active treatments relative to a control condition, compared with individuals with depression without childhood trauma. METHODS We did a comprehensive meta-analysis (PROSPERO CRD42020220139). Study selection combined the search of bibliographical databases (PubMed, PsycINFO, and Embase) from Nov 21, 2013, to March 16, 2020, and full-text randomised clinical trials (RCTs) identified from several sources (1966 up to 2016-19) to identify articles in English. RCTs and open trials comparing the efficacy or effectiveness of evidence-based pharmacotherapy, psychotherapy, or combination intervention for adult patients with depressive disorders and the presence or absence of childhood trauma were included. Two independent researchers extracted study characteristics. Group data for effect-size calculations were requested from study authors. The primary outcome was depression severity change from baseline to the end of the acute treatment phase, expressed as standardised effect size (Hedges' g). Meta-analyses were done using random-effects models. FINDINGS From 10 505 publications, 54 trials met the inclusion criteria, of which 29 (20 RCTs and nine open trials) contributed data of a maximum of 6830 participants (age range 18-85 years, male and female individuals and specific ethnicity data unavailable). More than half (4268 [62%] of 6830) of patients with major depressive disorder reported a history of childhood trauma. Despite having more severe depression at baseline (g=0·202, 95% CI 0·145 to 0·258, I2=0%), patients with childhood trauma benefitted from active treatment similarly to patients without childhood trauma history (treatment effect difference between groups g=0·016, -0·094 to 0·125, I2=44·3%), with no significant difference in active treatment effects (vs control condition) between individuals with and without childhood trauma (childhood trauma g=0·605, 0·294 to 0·916, I2=58·0%; no childhood trauma g=0·178, -0·195 to 0·552, I2=67·5%; between-group difference p=0·051), and similar dropout rates (risk ratio 1·063, 0·945 to 1·195, I2=0%). Findings did not significantly differ by childhood trauma type, study design, depression diagnosis, assessment method of childhood trauma, study quality, year, or treatment type or length, but differed by country (North American studies showed larger treatment effects for patients with childhood trauma; false discovery rate corrected p=0·0080). Most studies had a moderate to high risk of bias (21 [72%] of 29), but the sensitivity analysis in low-bias studies yielded similar findings to when all studies were included. INTERPRETATION Contrary to previous studies, we found evidence that the symptoms of patients with major depressive disorder and childhood trauma significantly improve after pharmacological and psychotherapeutic treatments, notwithstanding their higher severity of depressive symptoms. Evidence-based psychotherapy and pharmacotherapy should be offered to patients with major depressive disorder regardless of childhood trauma status. FUNDING None.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetes has been linked to accelerated brain aging, i.e., neuroimaging-predicted age of brain is higher than chronological age. This report evaluated whether accelerated brain aging in diabetes is associated with higher levels of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and increased mortality. METHODS Brain age in Dallas Heart Study (n = 1949) was estimated using T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans and a previously-published Gaussian Processes Regression model. Accelerated brain aging (adjusted Δ brain age) was computed as follows: (brain age adjusted for chronological age)-minus-(chronological age). Mortality data until 12/31/2016 were obtained from the National Death Index. Associations of adjusted Δ brain age with diabetes in full sample and with HbA1c in individuals with diabetes were evaluated. Proportion of association between diabetes and all-cause mortality that was accounted for by adjusted Δ brain age were evaluated with mediation analyses. Covariates included Framingham 10-year risk score, race/ethnicity, income, body mass index, and history of myocardial infarction. RESULTS Diabetes was associated with] higher adjusted Δ brain age [estimate= 1.79; 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.889, 2.68]. Among those with diabetes, higher HbA1c (log-base-2-transformed) was associated with higher adjusted Δ brain age (estimate=3.88; 95% CI: 1.47, 6.30). Over a median follow-up of 97.5 months, 24/246 (9.8%) with diabetes and 63/1703 (3.7%) without diabetes died. Adjusted Δ brain age accounted for 65.3 (95% CI: 39.3, 100.0)% of the association between diabetes and all-cause mortality. CONCLUSION Accelerated brain aging may be related to poor glycemic control in diabetes and partly account for the association between diabetes and all-cause mortality.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The Concise Health Risk Tracking Self-Report (CHRT-SR) assesses the risk of suicidal behavior. We report its psychometric properties in a representative sample of adolescent outpatients. METHODS A sample (n = 657) of adolescents (<18 years of age) in primary or psychiatric care completed the 14-item version of CHRT-SR at both baseline and within 3 months. To identify an optimal brief solution for the scale, we evaluated the factor structure of CHRT-SR using multigroup confirmatory factor analysis, and testing measurement invariance across age and gender. The item response theory and classical test theory characteristics of the optimal solution were evaluated. Concurrent validity (both cross-sectional and as a change measure over time) of the optimal solution was assessed by comparing it to another suicide measure. RESULTS Confirmatory factor analysis identified the 9-item CHRT-SR (CHRT-SR9 ) as the optimal solution. Classical test theory and item response theory indicated excellent fit. Concurrent validity analyses revealed that it can measure both improvement/worsening of suicidality over time. CONCLUSION The CHRT-SR9 is a brief self-report with excellent psychometric properties in a sample of adolescents that is sensitive to changes in suicidality over time. Its performance in other populations and ability to predict future suicidal events deserves study.
