简要总结
This study tests a psychosocial intervention to improve immune health literacy and behaviors among adults with mental illnesses.
详细描述
This study is testing the efficacy of a brief intervention designed to improve immune health literacy and behaviors among adults with mental illnesses. This psychoeducational intervention supports lifestyle changes, including promotion of immunity-enhancing nutrition and immunity aids, activated intentions to receive needed inoculations and annual health screenings, better sleep, and more effective stress management. Adult clients of collaborating community mental health agencies are randomly assigned to the intervention plus services as usual, versus services as usual alone. They are assessed at baseline, two months post-baseline, and three months later. Multivariable analysis models are used to assess the primary outcome of self-reported immune status.

主要结局
Change in Immune Status
时间窗: study entry (pre-intervention), immediate post-intervention, 3 months post-intervention
The Immune Status Questionnaire (ISQ) measures self-reported immune status. The questionnaire consists of 7 items measuring indicators of immune health including headache, muscle and joint pain, cough, and sudden high fever. Respondents rate each item using a 5-point Likert scale ranging from "never" to "always or almost always." Responses are coded 0-4 and summed for a total score potentially ranging from 0 to 28 with higher scores indicating a poorer immune status.
