Trial Outcomes & Findings for Testing Preliminary Effectiveness of a Community Health Worker (CHW) Training Program on Caregiving (NCT NCT06049043)

NCT ID: NCT06049043

Last Updated: 2025-04-11

Results Overview

We asked participants 16 identically worded knowledge-based multiple-choice questions during the pretest and posttest. For each participant, we averaged their correct scores from these knowledge questions, resulting in a score that ranged from 0 to 100, with 0 as the minimum score and 100 as the maximum score. Higher scores indicate better outcomes. We then averaged these individual scores across all participants to create a composite average knowledge score for group comparisons, also ranging from 0 to 100.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline

We asked participants 16 identically worded knowledge-based multiple-choice questions during the pretest and posttest. For each participant, we averaged their correct scores from these knowledge questions, resulting in a score that ranged from 0 to 100, with 0 as the minimum score and 100 as the maximum score. Higher scores indicate better outcomes. We then averaged these individual scores across all participants to create a composite average knowledge score for group comparisons, also ranging from 0 to 100.

Timeframe: Baseline

We asked participants eight identically worded skills-based multiple-choice questions at pretest and posttest. For each participant, we averaged their correct scores from these skills questions, resulting in a score that ranged from 0 to 100, with 0 as the minimum score and 100 as the maximum score. Higher scores indicate better outcomes. We then averaged these individual scores across all participants to create a composite average skills score for group comparisons, also ranging from 0 to 100.

Timeframe: Baseline

We asked participants 15 identically worded questions relating to their perceived self-efficacy/confidence in providing outreach to male caregivers. Each answer choice was a 10-point confidence rating scale, ranging from 1 (not very confident) to 10 (very confident), with higher scores indicating better outcomes. We averaged self-efficacy scores across all self-efficacy questions for each participant, then averaged these scores across all participants for group comparisons.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 2/3 weeks

We asked intervention group participants five questions about their satisfaction with IN-HOME at posttest. All five satisfaction questions were ratings assessing the participants' perceptions of ease, relevance, engagement, usefulness, and likeliness to tell others about IN-HOME. Each answer choice ranged from 1 to 10, with 10 representing the highest and 1 representing the lowest rating. We averaged satisfaction ratings across all five questions for each intervention participant and averaged these scores across all intervention participants to create a single composite score ranging from 1 to 10, with higher scores indicating higher satisfaction.
