Outcomes That Speak for Themselves
Onrise tracks validated clinical measures across every athlete engagement. These are real numbers from real athletes in 2025.
How We Measure Outcomes
Onrise collects two validated clinical instruments across all athlete engagements: the PHQ-4 (Patient Health Questionnaire-4), a brief screener for depression and anxiety, and the PGIC (Patient Global Impression of Change), a 7-point self-report of perceived improvement. Data is collected at intake, post-session, and at stabilization — giving us a longitudinal view of each athlete's trajectory.
Clinically Significant Symptom Reduction
Among athletes presenting with moderate-to-severe symptoms (PHQ-4 ≥ 6), Onrise sessions produced a mean reduction of 6 points — dropping from distress into the minimal symptom range.
PHQ-4 Score Trajectory
Average scores across athlete journey stages
This level of symptom improvement is associated in the literature with substantial reductions in suicide risk. 30% of athletes we served entered with PHQ-4 > 6, indicating moderate to severe symptoms requiring immediate clinical support.
80% Report "Much Improved" or Better
The Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC) is a 7-point athlete self-report. In 2025, 80% of athletes rated themselves as "much improved" or "very much improved" after peer support sessions with Onrise.

Understanding the PGIC Scale
The Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC) is a single-item, validated self-report instrument. Athletes rate their overall change in condition since starting sessions on a 7-point scale. Scores of 6–7 are considered clinically meaningful improvement.
