NCT ID: NCT01725815

Last Updated: 2019-10-09

Results Overview

The short form-36-item (SF-36) Physical component score (PCS) is a measure of HRQOL constructed for use in the Medical Outcomes Study that rely upon patient self-reporting and reflects the physical functioning. The scores ranges from 0-100 with higher scores indicating greater levels of physical functioning.

HARP Intervention
HARP Intervention: The HARP intervention is a 6-week, 6-session, group format intervention to improve self-management of chronic medical diseases. Each group lasts 90 minutes and has 8-12 attendees. Between groups, participants work with partners from the group to troubleshoot problems and accomplish action plans identified during the session. At the end of the program, monthly alumni groups meet for six months to reinforce lessons from the intervention, monitor progress, and maintain peer support.
No Intervention: Control
Participants in usual care will continue to obtain any mental health or peer-support services that they would otherwise be receiving.

Behavioral Activation was measured using the Patient Activation Measure (PAM), an instrument which has been found to be reliable and valid across a wide range of patient populations. The Patient Activation Measure (PAM) is a 22-item measure that assesses patient knowledge, skill, and confidence for self-management. Possible scores range from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating greater patient activation (better outcome).

Dietary intake was assessed with the Block Fat-Sugar-Fruit-Vegetable Screener, which is a validated 55-item scale assessing both frequency and quantity of food intake based on typical eating habits. Possible scores range from 0 to 68, with higher scores indicating greater consumption of fat (worse outcome).
