Adapting and Testing a Novel Digital Health Tool (PREVENT) to Improve Health Behavior Counseling and Cardiovascular Health in Rural Primary Care Clinics
Recruiting now · Not applicable · 1 countries · Registry ID NCT06063564
What this study is about
The focus on this application is low-income, rural patients, since cardiovascular disease (CVD) prevalence is 40% higher among rural than urban residents. Health behavior counseling and follow-up care are required for patients with an elevated body mass index who have increased risk for CVD. Counseling is most effective when developed with, and tailored to, the patient and offered with resources that support healthy food intake and physical activity. Resource referral and follow-up is particularly important in rural low income residents who often have more severe social needs that impede healthy behaviors. The proposed research will leverage the candidate's digital health tool (PREVENT) for healthcare teams to use within the clinic visit. PREVENT visually displays patient-reported and electronic health record (EHR) data to facilitate counseling and deliver tailored physical activity and healthy food intake goals and resources. PREVENT may improve the quality of required care and promote cardiovascular health equity. This research will: 1) collaborate with rural and clinic partners to modify and integrate the PREVENT tool for low-income, rural patients with obesity (Aim 1); and 2) conduct a pilot pragmatic clinical trial of PREVENT to optimize feasibility, acceptability, appropriateness, and potential health equity impact.

Full registry criteria
Treatments and study arms
PREVENT
PREVENT is a novel Health Information Technology tool designed to promote physical activity and healthy food intake among overweight/obese patients at the point of care. PREVENT automates the delivery of personalized, evidence-based behavior change recommendations and provides an interactive map of community resources to help providers link patients to resources in their community.
Wait-list Control
Will receive routine clinical care. After completion of follow-up measures, control participants will receive a behavior change prescription via the PREVENT tool.
Primary outcomes
A survey (6-questions) will assess patient's satisfaction with the PREVENT tool. Questions are asked on a 5-point Likert scale (range: 6-30) with a higher score indicating greater satisfaction.
A survey (31-questions) will assess provider's acceptability and satisfaction with five aspects of health information technology: content, accuracy, format, ease of use and timeliness. Questions are asked on a 5-point Likert scale (range: 31-155) with a higher score indicating greater satisfaction.
Fidelity will be measured using direct observation of patient-provider interactions while using the PREVENT tool. A direct observation checklist will be used by the observer to determine the number of interactions with the PREVENT tool that were implemented as intended.
