Trial Outcomes & Findings for Decision-Making in Bipolar Disorder (NCT NCT01463111)

NCT ID: NCT01463111

Last Updated: 2017-05-31

Results Overview

The MDMQ is a 22-item self report form assessing four different styles of decision making. Vigilance is considered the healthy, adaptive, decision-making style, reflecting consideration of an array of outcomes and ultimately rational decision-making. Scores range from 0-12. A higher score indicates that vigilance is used more frequently during decision making. A higher score indicates healthier decision making.

The MDMQ is a 22-item self report form assessing four different styles of decision making. Hypervigilance is marked by hurried, anxious decision-making. Scores range from 0-10. A higher score indicates a "worse" score and that a hyper-vigilant decision making style is used more frequently.

The MDMQ is a 22-item self report form assessing four different styles of decision making. The buckpassing decision-making style represents a tendency to leave decisions to others. Scores range from 0-12. A higher score indicates that the buckpassing decision-making style is used more frequently and represents a "worse" score.

The MDMQ is a 22-item self report form assessing four different styles of decision making. The procrastination decision-making style involves putting off making decisions. Scores range from 0-10. A higher score indicates that the procrastination decision-making style is used more and is considered a "worse" score.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, Week 6

Population: Data was analyzed for participants who completed all study visits. Means are age-adjusted.

The BIS-11 is a 30 item self-report questionnaire, used to assess three factors of impulsivity: 1). attentional impulsiveness, reflecting a difficulty concentrating or tolerating cognitive complexity, 2). motor impulsiveness, reflecting a tendency to act before thinking, and 3). non-planing impulsiveness, reflecting a lack of forethought about potential consequences. Items are scored on a 4-point scale: Rarely/Never = 1 Occasionally = 2 Often = 3 Almost Always/Always = 4. Attentional impulsivity scores range from 8-32. Motor impulsivity scores range from 11-44. Non-planning impulsivity scores range from 11-44. Total BIS-11 scores range from 30-120. A higher score reflects higher impulsivity across all sub-types.
