Trial Outcomes & Findings for Reporting Patient Generated Health Data and Patient Reported Outcomes With Health Information Technology (NCT NCT03386773)

NCT ID: NCT03386773

Last Updated: 2022-09-26

Results Overview

Patient Engagement will be measured by participant performance on the Patient Activation Measurement (PAM)-13 tool. This validated instrument helps to show patients' motivation for being an active participant in managing their health. Each of the 13 items on the tool is rated on a four-point per-item scale, then converted to a total PAM score. The total PAM score is transformed into a scale score with values that range from 0 to 100 based on the calibration tables for the instrument, with higher numbers reflecting better scores and indicative of increased engagement. The scale score is reported here.

Measure
Intervention
Intervention patients will engage in a 16-week program where they will receive regular health promotion messaging about (a) food, nutrition, and diet; and (b) exercise and physical activity. Intervention patients will be asked to track patient generated health data (PGHD) elements related to weight management through a mobile health app loaded on their phones and/or through using a fitness tracker, depending on patient preference, and to share that information with the research team. Patient-reported outcomes (PRO) measures will be collected pre-and-post-intervention. Intervention patients will also be asked to provide answers to patient-reported outcomes measures on a weekly basis. 16-week program: 16-week program where patients will receive regular health promotion messaging about (a) food, nutrition, and diet; and (b) exercise and physical activity.
Control
Control patients will engage in a 16-week program where they will receive regular health promotion messaging about (a) food, nutrition, and diet; and (b) exercise and physical activity. Patient-reported outcomes measures will be collected pre-and-post-intervention. 16-week program: 16-week program where patients will receive regular health promotion messaging about (a) food, nutrition, and diet; and (b) exercise and physical activity.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 16 weeks

Population: The number of participants analyzed reflects the number for which complete data were available.

Healthy days will be measured by participant performance on the Health Related Quality of Life Scores (HRQOL)-4 questionnaire. This questionnaire is scored based on participant reported number of days experiencing poor physical or mental health. The scale ranges from 1-30, with lower scores being better in that they indicate fewer poor health days.
