Voice Biomarkers Predictive of Depression and Anxiety

Participants will be recruited via various online mediums to participate in a voluntary observational study. Completing the consent and survey on their smart-phone, tablet, or computer, the participant will be asked to provide a 1-minute response to an audio prompt "How was your day?" After recording their response, the participant will be asked to complete the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 and Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 measures independently. In a second voluntary phase of the study, participants who indicated a score higher than 20, will be contacted by the research team via email to determine if they are interested in a voluntary follow-up to their initial study participation. Participants who would like to take part in the additional survey will complete additional voice recording responses to prompts and complete the Patient History Questionnaire and Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7. These participants will be contacted by a Mental Health Professional to discuss seeking mental health resources and clinicians, as well as, complete the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale and Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale via the telephone.
