简要总结
The purpose of this study was to develop and pilot test an intervention to reduce mental health disparities for racially and ethnically minoritized Veterans receiving outpatient VA mental health services. The program was delivered by trained VA peer navigators. The specific aims of the program were to enhance navigation of mental health services, increase patient engagement, and improve patient-provider communication.
Study participants were randomized into one of two study groups, which determined when they received the study intervention. Regardless of study group, participants had the opportunity to receive services in addition to their regular mental health treatment (either immediately after enrollment into the study or after a 6-month waiting period).
Participants were asked to complete study questionnaires at different timepoints throughout the study to assess their overall satisfaction with the study program and the mental health services that they received. Some participants also completed an interview to discuss their experience in the program.

研究组 & 干预措施
Waitlist Control
The waitlist control arm participants received usual mental health services. They were offered to receive the intervention after the 6-month wait period.
干预措施: PARTNER-MH (Behavioral)
Active PARTNER-MH
Participants in this arm received the intervention immediately after study enrollment. They continued to receive usual mental health services in addition to intervention.
干预措施: PARTNER-MH (Behavioral)
结局指标
主要结局
Patient Activation Measure- Mental Health (PAM-MH)
时间窗: Change from Baseline to 6 months
Measure Description: The PAM-MH is a 13-item questionnaire that measures an individual's perceived ability to manage illness and health behaviors. The questions are rated on a 4-point Likert-type scale (1= strongly disagree, 2=disagree, 3=agree, 4=strongly agree). Scores are then converted using Rasch analysis to a 100-point scale. Raw scores range from 13 to 52 and converted activation scores range from 0-100. Higher activation scores indicate higher level of patient activation.
Altarum Consumer Engagement (ACE) Change
时间窗: Change from Baseline to 6 months
The ACE is administered as a 5-level Likert scale. The subscale scores range from 5 to 25, and the total engagement score is computed by adding the 3 subscale scores and multiplying the sum by 4/3 to obtain a possible range score of 20 to 100. Higher scores represent higher patient engagement.
SDM-Q9 PARTNER-MH
时间窗: Change from Baseline to 6 months
The SDM-Q9 PARTNER-MH was adapted from Braddock et al.'s SDM-Q-9 informed decision-making scale. The original, validated scale, the SDM-Q-9, has 9 items measured on a 6-point Likert Scale, ranging from 0=completely disagree to 5=completely agree. The total score is calculated by summing the scores of the nine items, range from 0 to 45. A higher score indicates a greater level of perceived SDM.
Peer Coaching Experience Satisfaction Questionnaire
时间窗: Administered after completion of the study program (6 months for Active PARTNER-MH )
Peer Coaching Experience Satisfaction Questionnaire is designed to collect feedback on a respondent's overall experience with a peer coach at the end of a 6-month period. Only participants in active PARTNER-MH were administered this questionnaire. This questionnaire was developed for the study. Question 1: Overall, how satisfied are you with PARTNER-MH program? Question 2: How satisfied are you with your assigned peer. Answers are rated on a Likert scale ranging from 1 (very satisfied) to 5 (very dissatisfied).
Trust and Satisfaction Survey Responses Change
时间窗: Change from Baseline to 6 months
The Trust and Satisfaction Survey is a 5-item scale which assess a respondent's degree of trust toward the VA, VA mental health care services, and the study program. Respondents are asked to rate how much they agree with each of the 5 items. Items are rated on a scale ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree). The survey yields final scores ranging from 5 (minimum) to 25 (maximum) with higher scores representing greater trust and satisfaction. No subscale.
