Dynamic Indicators of Adherence and Retention in Adults Using a Digital Mental Health App: Longitudinal Observational Analysis From the Brighten Study
We show that participants' clinical trajectory of depressive symptoms, as well as their perception of improvement, are important indicators of engagement, adherence, and retention. Expanding knowledge regarding these longitudinal indicators may improve interpretation of outcomes and help build strategies to improve retention and adherence in future clinical trials.
