Trial Outcomes & Findings for Implementation of CAPABLE in the Michigan Medicaid Waiver (NCT NCT03634033)
NCT ID: NCT03634033
Last Updated: 2022-11-30
Results Overview
Adoptions and sustainability of the intervention using the Stages of Implementation Completion (SIC) at a site (18). SIC is a tool that tracks achievement of key activities when implementing an evidence-based intervention. SIC has 6 stages with multiple implementation activities; each activity had an assigned numeric value and when a activity was completed, a score was assigned. The \*total\* SIC score ranges from 0-100. Stage 1 score range 0-12. Stage 2 0-16. Stage 3 0-24. Stage 4 0-16. Stage 5 0-16. Stage 6 0-16. The \*total\* score was calculated by summing the points of each stage. The higher the \*total\* score, the more implementation activities were completed. For the below reported \*total\* score, each waiver site had their \*total\* SIC score numerically calculated. Then, the mean and standard deviation were calculated by group/arm.

Participant Flow
MAIN STUDY. Group allocation-randomized 18 waiver sites, 9 to MiCAP with IF; and 9 to MiCAP with IF and EF. Recruited 2 groups of participants at each site: clinicians employed by the sites to provide the intervention to waiver beneficiaries to receive the intervention. ADMINISTRATIVE SUPP. No group allocation: Recruited 3 groups of participants at 3 sites from Main Study; clinicians employed at sites, caregivers to provide the intervention, and beneficiaries to receive it; plus MiCAP IF.
COUNT OF PARTICIPANTS: for ARMS/GROUPS- Some clinicians/beneficiaries in MiCAP with IF Main Study may be represented in Administrative Supplement: clinicians/beneficiaries; counted more than once/signed more than 1 Consent Form. MAIN STUDY: UNITS- MiCAP with IF/IF+EF Beneficiaries and Clinicians use the same 18 sites. ADMINISTRATIVE SUPPLEMENT: Some caregivers dropped out of study after beneficiary passed away or transferred to a facility; the caregiver was not deceased or in a facility.
Unit of analysis: Sites (Main Study only)

PRIMARY outcome
Timeframe: 9 monthsPopulation: The participants analyzed were the 18 waiver sites from the MAIN STUDY that were then randomized to either MiCAP with IF (n=9) or MiCAP with IF and EF (n=9). The Administrative Supplement Arms/Groups are not included in this outcome as data were only collected during the main study.
Adoptions and sustainability of the intervention using the Stages of Implementation Completion (SIC) at a site (18). SIC is a tool that tracks achievement of key activities when implementing an evidence-based intervention. SIC has 6 stages with multiple implementation activities; each activity had an assigned numeric value and when a activity was completed, a score was assigned. The \*total\* SIC score ranges from 0-100. Stage 1 score range 0-12. Stage 2 0-16. Stage 3 0-24. Stage 4 0-16. Stage 5 0-16. Stage 6 0-16. The \*total\* score was calculated by summing the points of each stage. The higher the \*total\* score, the more implementation activities were completed. For the below reported \*total\* score, each waiver site had their \*total\* SIC score numerically calculated. Then, the mean and standard deviation were calculated by group/arm.

Timeframe: Exit (9-months)Evidence-Based Practice Attitude Scale (EBPAS-50) is a 50-item tool that assesses clinician attitudes toward adopting evidence into practice. EBPAS-50 has 50 items on the tool which includes 10 sub-scales: limitations, openness, monitoring, requirements, employability, feedback, burden, appeal, divergence, balance; and the questions are negatively framed. The 10 sub-scales are summed into a higher order total scale score representing respondent's attitude toward adopting evidence into practice. EBPAS-50 total scale score ranges from 0-200 with higher being a better attitude towards use of evidence in practice. Each of the 10 sub-scales ranges from 0-20; with higher being a better attitude towards use of evidence. Items are reversed scored, and the mean sub-scale scores are recomputed, before a mean score for the total EBPAS-50 item score is computed. A higher total score indicate a more positive attitude towards adoption of evidence-based practice use.
