Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Multi-center Trial of IMPaCT CHW Support for Chronically-ill Patients (NCT NCT02347787)

NCT ID: NCT02347787

Last Updated: 2019-08-05

Results Overview

The main dependent variable is mean change in standardized score for SF-12 PCS. The SF-12 is a survey designed for use with patients with multiple chronic conditions. This 12-item scale can be used to assess the physical and mental health of respondents. 10 of the 12 questions are answered on a 5 point likert scale and 2 are answered on a 3 point likert scale. The questions are then scored and weighted into 2 subscales, physical health and mental health. Respondents can have a score that ranges from 0-100 with 100 being the best score and indicating high physical or mental health. A 3 point change in SF-12 score reflects a meaningful difference. We measure the between-arm difference in mean change in SF-12 PCS between baseline and 6-month follow-up assessment.

Participant Flow

Study enrollment took place at: a Veterans Affairs medical center primary care practice, a federally qualified health center and an academic family medicine clinic. Patients were recruited between January 28th, 2015 and March 28, 2016 at which time the trial was stopped because we had reached our pre-specified sample size target.

Usual Clinician Support
Prior to randomization, patients in this arm will already have set a chronic disease management goal with their primary care provider (who will have received training in collaborative goal-setting). After randomization, patients in the usual clinician support arm will receive usual care in accordance with guidelines at each site. Usual care
CHW Support
Prior to randomization, patients in this arm will already have set a chronic disease management goal with their primary care provider (who will have received training in collaborative goal-setting). After randomization, patients in the CHW arm will receive the IMPaCT intervention. IMPaCT: The IMPaCT intervention has three stages: 1. Goal-setting: CHWs will help patients to deconstruct the chronic disease management goal they set with their PCP into patient-driven short-term goals and action plans. 2. Tailored Support: CHWs will conduct weekly follow-up for 6 months through either telephone or home visit in order to support the achievement of patients' short-term goals. 3. Connection with longitudinal support: IMPaCT CHWs will also facilitate a weekly patient support group.

This 12-item scale can be used to assess the physical and mental health of respondents. 10 of the 12 questions are answered on a 5 point likert scale and 2 are answered on a 3 point likert scale.

Respondents can have a score that ranges from 0-100 with 100 being the best score and indicating high physical or mental health. A 3 point change in SF-12 score reflects a meaningful difference. We measure the between-arm difference in mean change in SF-12 PCS between baseline and 6-month follow-up assessment.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, 6 months, 9 months

Population: Each participant was only analyzed for their chosen chronic condition.

We will asses change in chronic disease control using biometric testing (HgA1c). At six months after enrollment, all patients underwent a clinic visit and the appropriate laboratory testing: HgbA1c. Patients' measurements on this parameter will be used to determine their change in standardized score for their outcome of interest.

Population: Each participant was only analyzed for their chosen chronic condition.

We will asses change in chronic disease control using biometric testing (kg/m\^2). At six and nine months after enrollment, all patients underwent a clinic visit and the appropriate laboratory testing: height and weight. Patients' measurements on this parameter will be used to determine their change in standardized score for their outcome of interest.

Timeframe: Baseline, 6 months, 9 months

Population: Each participant was only analyzed for their chosen chronic condition.

We will asses change in chronic disease control using biometric testing (systolic blood pressure in mm Hg). At six and nine months after enrollment, all patients underwent a clinic visit and the appropriate laboratory testing. Patients' measurements on this parameter will be used to determine their change in standardized score for their outcome of interest.

Timeframe: Baseline, 6 months, 9 months

The SF-12 is a survey designed for use with patients with multiple chronic conditions. This 12-item scale can be used to assess the physical and mental health of respondents. 10 of the 12 questions are answered on a 5 point likert scale and 2 are answered on a 3 point likert scale. The questions are then scored and weighted into 2 subscales, physical health and mental health. Respondents can have a score that ranges from 0-100 with 100 being the best score and indicating high physical or mental health. A 3 point change in SF-12 score reflects a meaningful difference. We will assess this outcome using the SF-12 Mental Component Summary (MCS) score. The MCS reliably detects differences in mental health over time. We will measure the between-arm difference in mean change in SF-12 MCS score between baseline, 6- and 9- month follow-up.

Population: This data point contains qualitative, not quantitative data. The study team is still analyzing this data set and has not yet completed analysis for this outcome. Below, we report the number of interviews completed for each clinical site (VA, Federally Qualified Health Center, Academic Site). We will not complete any more interviews.

At 6-months post-enrollment, a trained qualitative interviewer on our study team will conduct an in-depth qualitative semi-structured interview with 40 intervention arm patients and their CHWs. Qualitative interviews will be audio-taped and transcribed. Patients will be purposively sampled across each study site in order to be able to make comparisons between those who achieved a minimally important improvement in the primary outcome and those who did not. These interviews will be guided by the Integrative Behavior Model (IBM). UPDATE: After beginning interviews, our team decided that 26 interviews was sufficient to reach thematic saturation.

Prior to randomization, patients in this arm will already have set a chronic disease management goal with their primary care provider (who will have received training in collaborative goal-setting). After randomization, patients in the CHW arm will receive the IMPaCT intervention. IMPaCT: The IMPaCT intervention has three stages: 1. Goal-setting: CHWs will help patients to deconstruct the chronic disease management goal they set with their PCP into patient-driven short-term goals and action plans. 2. Tailored Support: CHWs will conduct weekly follow-up for 6 months through either telephone or home visit in order to support the achievement of patients' short-term goals. 3. Connection with longitudinal support: IMPaCT CHWs will also facilitate a weekly patient support group.
