Clinical Trial Summary

This study explores primary care team members' knowledge, attitudinal, and skill gaps related to LTBI testing and treatment. The gaps identified will inform the design of a survey and telementoring educational program (TB infection ECHO course). The EMR data query will further explore the reach of the ECHO model. The hypothesis for this study is that the TB infection ECHO course will be feasible, will have a significant impact on primary care provider participants' learning and performance related to LTBI testing and treatment in their primary care practices, and will increase the number of LTBI tests and treatment prescribed in primary care.


Clinical Trial Description

This pilot study will use a mixed-methods design called an exploratory sequential translational research design. In this type of study design, the initial qualitative phase informs the design of an intervention (in this case a TB infection ECHO) and an instrument (in this case structured surveys) to study the intervention. The third phase implements the designed intervention and/or instrument to collect data and quantitatively assess the outcomes of interest (in this case feasibility and impact). The final aspect of the third phase explores an EMR data query to assess the reach of the intervention (providers' testing and treatment in the real world). In Aim 1, 30 primary care team members from our Brown Family Medicine, Care New England, and federally qualified health center networks will be purposively sampled to undergo key informant interviews regarding LTBI testing and treatment knowledge, attitudinal, and skill gaps. Questions will be asked to ascertain gaps throughout the entire latent TB infection care cascade. The results from Aim 1 will be used to design the survey instrument and the curriculum for an innovative, telementoring program (TB infection ECHO). In Aim 2, at least 20 additional primary care team members will be recruited to participate in a virtual six-month TB infection ECHO course. Participants will complete quantitative surveys before and after the course as well as post-session surveys following each session. Survey questions will assess feasibility measures related to process, resources, and management and impact measures related to learning and performance. Paired data from pre- and post-course surveys will be analyzed accordingly depending on the distribution of results. In Aim 3, data will be extracted from two ECHO participants' clinic sites before, during, and after ECHO implementation. Data will include information about LTBI testing and treatment to understand the reach and impact of the intervention of providers' testing and treatment behavior. This study will lead to an ECHO research framework that can be used for future ECHO courses that address other diseases in Rhode Island. ;
