Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study will pilot test a just-in-time (JIT) adaptive intervention to reduce severe respiratory illness, for children with severe cerebral palsy (CP). The intervention program, called RE-PACT, delivers timely, customized action planning and health coaching when mobile text messaging with families predicts hospitalization risk is elevated. A total of n=90 caregivers of children with severe CP will be enrolled from the University of Wisconsin-Madison (UW) and the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) and can expect to be on study for up to 6 months.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The two-site study takes place at clinical programs at US children's hospitals: the UW and UCLA Pediatric Complex Care Pro-grams were each established to deliver care to children with medical complexity. Each program is comprised of primary care providers, care coordinators, and extended visit lengths, deliver comprehensive care to children with cerebral palsy. These sites have existing collaborative relationships through their participation in the CYSHCNet national research network (http://cyshcnet.org) and other federally funded initiatives, and a track record of successful productive scientific collaboration.

The study period will be divided into three waves: after each wave, feasibility, acceptability, and fidelity data will be reviewed against pre-defined measures of success to adjust the protocol and overcome implementation barriers.

This study will be conducted through a six-month randomized pilot trial. Briefly, after recruitment and baseline assessments, eligible caregiver/child dyads are randomized to intervention (I) or active control (AC). Intervention subjects receive respiratory illness action plans and weekly mobile health (mHealth) confidence surveillance. At times of low confidence or hospitalization, just-in-time action planning and coaching activities are conducted. AC subjects will receive usual comprehensive medical care and coordination. Assessments of feasibility, acceptability and fidelity, as well as clinical outcomes, will be conducted at baseline and monthly intervals for 6 months. Intervention outcomes will be evaluated at baseline (i.e., randomization) and 6 months post-enrollment, and will also include the primary clinical outcome (i.e., hospitalization for respiratory diagnosis).
