Project ACTIVE a Clinical Intervention

Obesity Clinical Trial

Official title: Project ACTIVE: A Randomized Controlled Trial of Personalized and Patient-Centered Preventive Care

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

This is a clinical Randomized Controlled Trial where the study personnel will run a personalized prevention clinic with patients in attempts to improve their preventive health outcomes and compare their health outcomes with a matched control sample of patients who do not receive the clinical intervention.

Clinical Trial Description

The Project ACTIVE intervention was constructed around the following framework, and then adapted to suit workflow demands of a busy inner-city clinic: (1) identify patients who could most benefit from improvements in adherence to evidence-based preventive care, (2) use a validated mathematical model that was published in Annals of Internal Medicine to quantify and rank the estimated amount of health benefit that would arise from improved adherence to each USPSTF preventive care guideline, with estimates personalized based on that patient's risk factors and medical history, (3) communicate this information in a manner informed by risk communication studies relevant to patients from disparate cultural groups and with low literacy and numeracy, (4) engage the patient in a shared decision making process in which the patient identified which preventive health goals patient aimed to achieve, and (5) set particular action steps for the next visit that were congruent with these goals. The program supplements rather than substitutes for normally scheduled primary care visits, and is coordinated with these visits whenever possible. ;
