研究概览
简要总结
The Bravewell Integrative Medicine Research Network (BraveNet) is a newly formed practice-based research network of nine leading integrative medicine centers around the U.S. collaborating in clinical outcomes research to increase the knowledge and evidence-base of integrative medicine.
详细描述
Specific Aims of BraveNet:
-
Demonstrate feasibility for the nine sites of BraveNet to coordinate in specifying data elements, developing and implementing smooth data collection procedures, analyzing the data, publishing and disseminating the results through scientific conferences and journals.
-
Describe the patients seeking care at Integrative Medicine centers, in terms of:
-
demographics, presenting symptoms, health conditions, type of care sought, and expectations for treatment;
-
quality of life, mood, stress; and
-
lifestyle factors.
-
Explore potential patterns within the sample [e.g., do the survey scores vary by demographics, by condition, by type patient (new vs return), by type of help sought, etc.].
-
Utilize above data as pilot data for future studies and funding opportunities.
Up to five hundred eligible patients seen at each of the nine participating Centers will be approached (by mail, phone, at the time of their visit, etc.) and invited to consent to the paper and pencil study. The patient survey will clearly state that participation is voluntary with a written consent to participate on the front. Individual practices will report the response rate in order to monitor the potential effect of volunteer bias. Participant completion of questionnaires should take 15 to 30 minutes, and should be completed within 2 weeks of the patient visit., The corresponding provider form will be completed by the provider/research staff within 5 days of the visit.
