User-Centered Design of a Preference-Driven Patient Activation Tool for Optimizing Depression Treatment in Integrated Primary Care Settings (The Transform DepCare Study).

ABSTRACT:

Background

Few patient engagement tools incorporate the complex patient experiences, contexts, and workflows that limit depression treatment implementation.

Objective

Describe a user-centered design (UCD) process for operationalizing a preference-driven patient activation tool.

Design

Informed by UCD and behavior change/implementation science principles, we designed a preference-driven patient activation prototype for engaging patients in depression treatment. We conducted three usability cycles using different recruitment/implementation approaches: near live/live testing in primary care waiting rooms (V1-2) and lab-based think aloud testing (V3) oversampling older, low-literacy, and Spanish-speaking patients in the community and via EHR algorithms. We elicited clinic
