- To be eligible for the pilot depression intervention patients must score 9 or above on the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9). Additionally, if a patient has an elevated PHQ score and does not meet the cutoff but expresses a desire to be in the intervention in order to relieve his or her depression, then the PI will contact the participant to further assess eligibility for the intervention. Patients who do not make the cut-off will still be included in the study's statistical analyses.
