SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Outcome measure was assessed at baseline data collection

Population: Percentage of participants listed below are those in each arm who had a PAM score indicating a level of taking action (levels 3 and 4).

The Patient Activation Measure (PAM) administered on line to RCT participants yields a patient activation score allowing comparison of patient activation with other populations/studies The PAM-13 item measures patient knowledge, skill, and confidence for medical self-management. It is scored on a scale from 0-100. These scores result in four levels of patient activation that range from 1 to 4 with 1 being the lowest level of patient activation for taking action and 4 the highest level of activation. Specifically: 1=believing the patient role is important. 2=having confidence/knowledge necessary to take action. 3=actually taking action to maintain/improve one's health. 4=maintaining health actions, even under stress. The percentage of participants in each arm who had a PAM score that indicated a level of activation/taking action (levels 3 and 4) will be identified.
