Study type | Interventional |
The purpose of this study is to test if having a Veteran peer health coach will improve blood pressure control among Veterans with high blood pressure and at least one other Cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factor. The intervention will deliver brief health messages, discuss goal setting, and action planning around health behavior changes shown to decrease CVD risk, including healthy diet, regular to moderate-intensity physical activity, and smoking cessation. Facilitators, barriers, and costs of the intervention will be determined.

Type | Measure | Description | Time frame | Safety issue |
---|---|---|---|---|
Other | Social Support | The 8-item Medical Outcomes Study (MOS) Social Support Survey Instrument will be used to measure self-perceived overall social support, including community support. | Baseline to follow-up at 1 year | |
Other | Patient Activation, Consumer Health Activation Index (CHAI) | The CHAI will be used to measure patient activation, including self-rated ability to take preventive actions, manage symptoms of medical problems, find and use appropriate medical care, and work with health care providers. | Baseline to follow-up at 1 year | |
Other | Consumer Assessment of Health Plans (CAHPS) Clinician & Group Survey and Reporting Kit (Four-Point Scale) | The CAHPS survey will be used to measure patient satisfaction and patient/provider communication with the participant's physician and health care team. | Baseline to follow-up at 1 year | |
Other | International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), Short | The IPAQ will be used to measure exercise and physical activity, which will assess self-management health behaviors. | Baseline to follow-up at 1 year | |
Other | Self-reported medication non-adherence questions | Self-reported medication non-adherence questions from Voils, C.I et al. will be used to measure medication adherence, which will be used to assess self-management health behaviors. | Baseline to follow-up at 1 year | |
Other | Nutrition, "Starting the conversation brief dietary assessment and intervention scale" | The tool will be used to measure nutrition from eating, which will be used to assess self-management health behaviors. | Baseline to follow-up at 1 year | |
Other | Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ) | The Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ) will be used to measure nutrition as related to food frequency, which will be used to assess self-management health behaviors. | Baseline to follow-up at 1 year | |
Other | The AUDIT Alcohol Consumption questionnaire (AUDIT-C) | AUDIT-C questionnaire will measure alcohol use, which will be used to assess self-management health behaviors. | Baseline to follow-up at 1 year | |
Other | Overall Health, 12-Item Short-Form Health Survey: Construction of scales and preliminary tests of reliability and validity | The 12-Item Short-Form Health Survey will be used to measure overall health, which will be used to assess self-management health behaviors. | Baseline to follow-up at 1 year | |
Other | Food security | Food security will be measured using the United States Department of Agriculture, Economic Research Service. U.S. Household Food Security Survey Module: Six- Item Short Form. | Baseline to follow-up at 1 year | |
Other | Provider Communication | The publication, "Outcome measures for health education and other health care interventions" by Lorig, Kate; Stewart, Anita; Ritter, Philip; Gonz lez, Virginia; et al. will be used to confidence in communication with providers. | Baseline to follow-up at 1 year | |
Other | Blood Pressure Self Management Behaviors | Self Management Behaviors to control blood pressure will be measured by questions taken from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) Questionnaire 2009 | Baseline to follow-up at 1 year | |
Other | Neighborhood Utilization, The Chronic Illness Resources Survey | Utilization of neighborhood resources will be assessed using the Chronic Illness Resources Survey: Cross-validation and sensitivity to intervention. | Baseline to follow-up at 1 year | |
Other | Patient Mental Health, The PHQ-8: A New Depression Diagnostic and Severity Measure | Patient Mental Health will be measured using the PHQ-8: A New Depression Diagnostic and Severity Measure | Baseline to follow-up at 1 year | |

Other | Caregiver Support | The Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) Questionnaire will measure caregiver support. | Baseline to follow-up at 1 year | |
Primary | Reduction in systolic blood pressure | Reduction in systolic blood pressure. | Baseline to follow-up at 1 year | |
Secondary | Reduction in Framingham Cardiovascular risk score | Reduction in Framingham Cardiovascular risk score (FRS), which has good predictive validity for Coronary Heart Disease events. FRS algorithms include age, total and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, systolic blood pressure, treatment for hypertension, diabetes, and cigarette smoking. | Baseline to follow-up at 1 year | |
Secondary | Tobacco use | Tobacco use will be measured as an individual cardiovascular risk. Tobacco use will be calculated based on self-reported number of cigarettes smoked, and/or of use of chewing tobacco, snuff, or snus. Questions on tobacco use will be taken from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) Questionnaire. | Baseline to follow-up at 1 year | |
Secondary | Overall Health, 12-Item Short-Form Health Survey | Overall Health will be assessed using the 12-Item Short-Form Health Survey to measure health related quality of life, which includes a summary assessment of role limitations caused by physical health, physical functioning, mental health, and general health. | Baseline to follow-up at 1 year | |
Secondary | Number of outpatient clinic visits, ER visits and hospitalizations in the previous year | Health care utilization will be measured using VA administrative data, including number of outpatient and ER visits, hospitalizations during the previous year. | Baseline to follow-up at 1 year | |
Secondary | Body Mass Index (BMI) | Body Mass Index (BMI) will be measured as an individual cardiovascular risk. Measurements will be initially recorded in height (feet/inches), and weight (pounds/ ounces, which will be converted to weight in kilograms and height in meters. BMI will be calculated as kg/m^2. | Baseline to follow-up at 1 year | |
Secondary | Low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-c). | Low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-c) will be measured as mg/dL. Lipoprotein cholesterol will be assessed as an individual cardiovascular risk, and will be based laboratory data of blood tests from VA CPRS medical records (when taken within 6 months of baseline and/or 1 year follow up appointment). If no lab data exits within this timeframe, blood will be drawn by the study nurse. | Baseline to follow-up at 1 year | |
Secondary | Participant self-reported use of non-VA care services, High Risk Patient Survey | Health care utilization will be measured using the High Risk Patient Survey to collect self-reported use of non-VA care services, including outpatient and ER visits, hospitalizations, or pharmacy utilization. | Baseline to follow-up at 1 year |
