Testing the Effectiveness of a Graphic Novel Health Education Curriculum

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

This study deploys a strategy to develop and evaluate a training-efficient, multimedia patient-centered Health Education Toolkit to promote shared decision making between counselors and patients. An existing evidence-based toolkit intervention will be adapted and redesigned by a patient and provider team into an engaging, narrative graphic novel curriculum useful in group and individual counseling. The proven behavioral interventions will be augmented with health education material focused on medication assisted treatment (MAT). We will assess feasibility and acceptability, and pilot test whether exposure to the Toolkit (TK) can shared decision making conversations, reduce substance use, and increase engagement with MAT.

Clinical Trial Description

An existing evidence-based toolkit intervention will be adapted and redesigned by a patient and provider team into an engaging, narrative graphic novel curriculum useful in group and individual counseling. The proven behavioral interventions will be augmented with health education material focused on medication assisted treatment (MAT) and HIV risk reduction. Together, these materials will comprise the Health Education Toolkit. The Health Education Toolkit (TK) will employ a shared decision making model to encourage 1) increased recovery engagement by patients, and 2) patient engagement in deciding whether to initiate and adhere to MAT. We will conduct a randomized pilot trial of 50 patients with active alcohol substance use disorders (SUDs) enrolled in inpatient or outpatient treatment and will follow them over 3 months. We will test whether patients randomized to receive the TK curriculum will report increased shared decision making conversations, report greater satisfaction and acceptability of their treatment sessions, demonstrate larger reductions in substance use (drug and alcohol) and increases in abstinence, demonstrate improved alcohol severity scores, attend more attendance at specialty substance abuse intervention and treatment sessions, and demonstrate greater rates of initiating MAT for alcohol dependence over the 3-month follow-up period as compared to patients receiving treatment-as-usual (TAU). ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
