Brief Summary

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

The purpose and objective of this study is to improve cholesterol treatment among blood donors with FH (Familial Hypercholesterolemia).

Detailed Description

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

This is a single center randomized, two arm trial. The two study arms include usual care (standard notification) and implementation bundle intervention. UT Southwestern Medical Center will be the main study site and Carter Blood Care will serve as the recruitment site.

Screening/Baseline visit: Donors agreeing to participate in the study will be informed of study procedures and will provide informed consent. A 20 mL blood sample as well as a urine sample will be obtained for eligibility screening laboratories and baseline LDL-C.

Follow-up phone call: At 3 months post-randomization, participants in both arms will be briefly contacted by phone by the Research Assistant to thank them for their participation and to answer any study related questions.

End of study 6 month visit. Participants will engage in a virtual visit for end of study procedures. At this follow-up visit, the Research Assistant will assess for any adverse events and direct the participant to collect a fasting blood sample for repeat LDL-C measurement. The Research Assistant will administer an electronic survey and knowledge questionnaires. Additional clinical visits as desired by the participants' physicians will be allowed at their discretion.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Control group (Usual care)

This arm will receive standard notification that is usually provided by Carter describing need to review with donor's primary care physician the presence of high cholesterol

Group Type OTHER

Usual care notification

Intervention Type OTHER

Carter BloodCare will notify participants of their high cholesterol, potential for genetic causes, and recommendation to see their care provider by sending its routine, standard notification letter. These participants will also be eligible to receive the intervention bundle at the end of the study.

Intervention Group (Implementation strategy bundle)

Along with standard high cholesterol notification from Carter BloodCare, this arm will receive Implementation strategy bundle (educational material regarding high cholesterol levels)

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Implementation Strategy Bundle

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Bundle includes multimodal communications to notify donors about high cholesterol and its treatment, website with resources, and an optional care navigator. Resources for their primary care provider will also be disseminated.

Usual care notification

Intervention Type OTHER

Carter BloodCare will notify participants of their high cholesterol, potential for genetic causes, and recommendation to see their care provider by sending its routine, standard notification letter. These participants will also be eligible to receive the intervention bundle at the end of the study.
