The National Institute for Minority Health and Health Disparities (NIMHD) awarded the University of Houston System a $445,168 Project Grant on July 5, 2026, under the Minority Health and Health Disparities Research program (CFDA 93.307) to develop and validate a novel depression screening instrument tailored specifically for patients with Sickle Cell Disease (SCD). The primary deliverable is a refined, psychometrically validated screening tool that addresses the clinical gap created by existing instruments such as the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), which fail to differentiate between depressive symptoms and SCD-related physical manifestations, resulting in diagnostic inaccuracy and suboptimal treatment outcomes. The project, concluding June 30, 2028, will deliver three key outputs: (1) qualitative research synthesizing the depression experience among SCD patients through a patient workgroup to identify symptom distinctions; (2) a modified PHQ-9 screening instrument incorporating both patient and clinician input to ensure accurate differentiation between depressive and SCD-related symptoms; and (3) comprehensive psychometric validation analyses using classical test theory and item response theory to establish internal consistency, test-retest reliability, and construct validity. The validated tool is intended to facilitate appropriate mental health interventions, improve diagnostic accuracy, and reduce health disparities in mental health care for the SCD population.Federal Grant Award Summary
