简要总结
To evaluate the effectiveness of Take Heart, a behavioral/educational program for adults age 50+ with heart disease, or with at least two risk factors for heart disease, that helps them to better manage their health condition(s). Take Heart is a new version of an evidence-based program that has recently been adapted to be suitable for the needs of adults residing in Detroit.
详细描述
In this study, a heart disease self-management program will be tested in a low-income, predominantly African-American community via a partnership with the Detroit Area Agency on Aging (DAAA), the Detroit Medical Center (DMC), and University of Michigan School of Public Health's Center for Managing Chronic Disease (CMCD). The specific aims of the research are to: (1) adapt existing program materials to be appropriate for the new target population, getting feedback from various sources including focus group interviews; (2) conduct a pilot study of the adapted "Take Heart" program; (3) refine the intervention and conduct a randomized trial with 376 participants age 50 years and over, to assess health outcomes; (4) assess the translation and implementation of the intervention in the target setting and identify factors that help and hinder the process; (5) assess cost savings associated with the intervention; and (6) develop guidelines for "scaling up", that is, for replicating the program in other low-income areas through the national network of Area Agencies on Aging.

结局指标
主要结局
Hospitalizations
时间窗: Baseline and 12-month follow up
This will be measured by asking participants to report the number of nights they have stayed overnight in the hospital during the past year, for something related to their own health. We will ask this at baseline and then at the 12 month mark after the completion of the baseline survey, so that we can compare the year prior to the intervention to the year they completed the intervention. In addition, when possible, we will verify self-reported hospitalizations with Electronic Medical Record (EMR) data from our partners at the Detroit Medical Center (DMC). We will only be able to look into the EMRs of those participants that are patients at the DMC. Change will be indicated by difference between count at baseline and count at follow-up.
Emergency Department Visits
时间窗: Baseline and 12 month follow up
This will be measured by asking participants to report the number of times they went to the emergency department for something related to their own health, during the past year. We will ask this at baseline and then at the 12 month mark after the completion of the baseline survey, so that we can compare the year prior to the intervention to the year they completed the intervention. In addition, when possible, we will verify self-reported Emergency Department visits with Electronic Medical Record (EMR) data from our partners at the Detroit Medical Center (DMC). We will only be able to look into the EMRs of those participants that are patients at the DMC. Change will be indicated by difference between count at baseline and count at follow-up.
