TABLE 4.

Mean (SD) DSSI-10, PROMIS-SI, UCLA-Loneliness by Depression Severity at PEARLS Baseline

Scale Mild (PHQ-9 5–9) N = 67 Moderate (PHQ-9 10-14) N 1 17 Mod-Severe (PHQ-9 15-19) N = 84 Severe (PHQ-9 >/= 20) N = 27
DSSI-10 23.3 (3.9) 21.0 (4.2) 20.2 (3.6) 19.0 (3.6)
PROMIS-SI 23.8 (5.0) 19.8 (6.3) 17.8 (6.1) 18.8 (7.0)
UCLA-Loneliness 7.1 (2.0) 6.0 (2.2) 5.3 (2.2) 5.4 (2.3)

DSSI-10, PROMIS-SI, and UCLA-Loneliness scores were SS different across depression severity categories (p < .05). For DSSI-10, PROMIS, and UCLA higher scores = more social connectedness. DSSI-10 range 6-30, PROMIS-SI range 6-30; UCLA-Loneliness range 3 – 9; PHQ-9 range 0 – 27. SS: Statistically Significant.
