Trial Outcomes & Findings for Patient-Clinic-Community Integration to Prevent Obesity Among Rural Preschool Children (NCT NCT04406441)

NCT ID: NCT04406441

Last Updated: 2025-03-05

Results Overview

BMI values will be obtained from Geisinger clinical care visits, documented in the EHR and standardized or parent-reported. Values obtained at well child visits during the study period, ideally 12 months, 1 day apart will be utilized but values within a 9- to 18-month span of baseline to 1-year follow up may be used (e.g., 3 months pre-baseline WCV to 15 months post-baseline, baseline WCV to 18-months post-baseline, etc.) to assess the primary outcome. A z-score of 0 represents the population mean. Higher z-scores represent worse outcomes. BMI z-score over \>=1 indicates possible risk for overweight.

Participant Flow

Primary Care Providers were the unit of randomization in this study. Parent/child dyads were enrolled and were assigned to one of the three study arms based on which provider they saw for their regular well-child visits. There were 105 providers trained and randomized, 2040 unique parents and 2040 unique children that combined to form 2040 parent/child dyads. Below enrollment data reflects the randomization of the parent/child dyads.

Participant milestones

Participant milestones
Measure
Standard of Care
Participants will attend regularly scheduled well child visits (WCV) that follow standard clinical guidelines. Well child visits will include review of history, age-appropriate measurements (height/length, weight, body mass index (BMI), blood pressure), sensory and developmental screenings, physical exam, immunizations, oral health review, and anticipatory guidance (preventive counseling).
Patient Reported Outcome
Arm 2 builds on the standard of care WCV by adding a patient reported outcome measure, the Family Nutrition and Physical Activity risk assessment, to inform family-centered preventative counseling during clinical care. Patient Reported Outcome Well Child Visit: Parents will complete the Family Nutrition and Physical Activity risk assessment (Patient Reported Outcome) prior to scheduled well child visit. Parent reported data is integrated into the child's electronic health record to inform the child's primary care provider and the provision of preventive counseling. The primary care provider documents preventive care provided.
Patient Reported Outcome + Food Care
Participants will receive all Arm 2 components, in addition to be referred to both the Geisinger Wellness Program for a Parent Training Program and a grocery store nutritionist for a tour aligned with the Cooking Matters program. Patient Reported Outcome Well Child Visit + Food Care: Adapted Parent Training Program will be delivered via telehealth (video or telephone) to parents by trained Wellness Coaches as 6 individual sessions, distributed throughout a 26-week intervention period. Cooking Matters grocery store tours will be delivered (in-person or virtual) to parents by trained grocery store nutritionists during the 26-week intervention period.

Values obtained at well child visits during the study period, ideally 12 months, 1 day apart will be utilized but values within a 9- to 18-month span of baseline to 1-year follow up may be used (e.g., 3 months pre-baseline WCV to 15 months post-baseline, baseline WCV to 18-months post-baseline, etc.) to assess the primary outcome. A z-score of 0 represents the population mean. Higher z-scores represent worse outcomes. BMI z-score over \>=1 indicates possible risk for overweight.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 1-year

Population: Only participants completing the Food Security section of the1-year survey were included in the overall number of participants analyzed.

This questionnaire uses 6 items to provide a scale of food security of high food security to very low food security. Scoring: Responses of "often" or "sometimes" on questions Q1 and Q2, and "yes" on Q3, Q5, and Q6 are coded as affirmative (yes). Responses of "almost every month" and "some months but not every month" on Q4 are coded as affirmative (yes). The sum of affirmative responses to the six questions in the module is the household's raw score on the scale. Food security status is assigned as follows: Raw score 0-1-High or marginal food security (raw score 1 may be considered marginal food security, but a large proportion of households that would be measured as having marginal food security using the household or adult scale will have raw score zero on the six-item scale); Raw score 2-4-Low food security. Raw score 5-6-Very low food security. Percentage of participants with low or very low food security scores were reported.

Population: Only participants completing the M-PICS section of the1-year survey were included in the overall number of participants analyzed.

The Modified Perceived Involvement in Care Scale (M-PICS) measures patients' perceptions of doctor-patient communication during the medical encounter. PICs includes 4 domains including 1-Health care provider information 2- Patient information 3- Patient decision making 4- Health care provider facilitation. The total score combines these 4 domains with a range from 20 poor-100 high reported at 12-month follow-up.

Population: Only participants completing the Food Resource Management section of the1-year survey were included in the overall number of participants analyzed.

Nine items from the Cooking Matters Food Resource Management survey that assess 2 subscales (each scored on 1-5 item Likert scale)- Food Resource Management Practices (indicating the frequency with which respondents engaged in behaviors to maximize food resources) and Food Resource Management Confidence (extent to which participants showed self-confidence in shopping, preparing foods, and managing food resources on a budget). Higher scores indicate more frequent practices and greater confidence, respectively. There is not a summary score. The scoring for each subscale uses the average of items within that subscale.

n=566 Participants
Participants will attend regularly scheduled well child visits (WCV) that follow standard clinical guidelines. Well child visits will include review of history, age-appropriate measurements (height/length, weight, body mass index (BMI), blood pressure), sensory and developmental screenings, physical exam, immunizations, oral health review, and anticipatory guidance (preventive counseling).
Patient Reported Outcome
n=594 Participants
Arm 2 builds on the standard of care WCV by adding a patient reported outcome measure, the Family Nutrition and Physical Activity risk assessment, to inform family-centered preventative counseling during clinical care. Patient Reported Outcome Well Child Visit: Parents will complete the Family Nutrition and Physical Activity risk assessment (Patient Reported Outcome) prior to scheduled well child visit. Parent reported data is integrated into the child's electronic health record to inform the child's primary care provider and the provision of preventive counseling. The primary care provider documents preventive care provided.
Patient Reported Outcome + Food Care
n=462 Participants
Participants will receive all Arm 2 components, in addition to be referred to both the Geisinger Wellness Program for a Parent Training Program and a grocery store nutritionist for a tour aligned with the Cooking Matters program. Patient Reported Outcome Well Child Visit + Food Care: Adapted Parent Training Program will be delivered via telehealth (video or telephone) to parents by trained Wellness Coaches as 6 individual sessions, distributed throughout a 26-week intervention period. Cooking Matters grocery store tours will be delivered (in-person or virtual) to parents by trained grocery store nutritionists during the 26-week intervention period.
