Clinical Trial Summary

The overall aim of this study is to prospectively characterize social health disparities in a cross-sectional cohort of glioma patients with attention to exploring and thematically categorizing the patient-specific and community-level factors. This will be conducted in two parts.


Description:

Part 1: Primary Objectives 1. To describe the social determinants of health in a cross-section of patients with WHO Grade 2-4 gliomas using a group of validated instruments including the PRAPARE instrument, the Accountable Health Communities Health-Related Social Needs Screening Tool (AHC HRSN), and supplementary questions. Secondary Objectives 1. To compare social determinants of health between patients residing in economically disadvantaged and advantaged communities as defined in our prior study (low income communities vs high income county communities, by zip code). 2. To compare social determinants of health between patients residing in economically disadvantaged and advantaged communities as defined by other means including county (low income communities vs high income communities, by county), by urban vs rural (urban vs rural, by city), and by area deprivation index (see Section 5.2). 3. To quantify and compare the patient- and community-level social determinants of health present in the cohort and by community (low income community vs high income community). 4. To compare the time to presentation, time to treatment initiation, and extent of surgery for patients from economically disadvantaged and advantaged communities as described above. Part 2: Data from our preliminary study revealed differences in survival for patients from low income communities compared to high income community zip codes. The overarching goal of Part 2 is to further characterize the social factors that characterize low income community and high income communities and may contribute to the differences in outcome. Primary Aim 1. To identify, compare, contrast, and contextualize the patient- and community-specific social determinants for patients residing in (1) low income communities and high income community zip codes and (2) urban and rural communities. 2. To explore how patients perceive communication with their providers about social and community factors that contribute to health outcomes and understand the barriers, challenges, and opportunities to improve patient-provider communication.

Study Design


Intervention

Other:
Part 1 Survey Group
At the first study visit, participants will answer a series of survey questions about their neighborhoods, educational levels, social activities, access to transportation and food, healthcare management and where participants find social and spiritual support. General information such as age, ethnicity and address will also be collected.
Part 2 Focus Group
If participants from Part 1 agree to be contacted for Part 2, participants will be included in a focus group to explore unexpected findings and further investigate social determinants identified in Part 1.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary PRAPARE Instrument Questionnaire A 21 question questionnaire to collect data based on five main social determinants of health (education, economic status, neighborhood/surrounding environment, health and healthcare, community involvement). The questionnaire is comprised of Yes or No answers, multiple choice questions and Likert scale questions (not at all to quite a bit). This will be completed in Part 1 of the study. Approximately 30 minutes
Primary Accountable Health Communities Health-Related Social Needs Screening Tool An 18 question screening tool to help find out participants' needs in areas of housing instability, food insecurity, utility help needs, financial status, family and community support and physical activity. The questionnaire is comprised of Yes or No answers, multiple choice questions and Likert scale questions (Not hard at all to very hard; never to often). This will be completed in Part 1 of the study. Approximately 30 minutes
Primary Social Determinants of Health Supplementary Questionnaire The questionnaire is composed of 5 sections (economic status, social and community context, neighborhood and environment, health and healthcare and education) and has a combination of Yes or No questions, multiple choice questions, and Likert questions (never to always). This will be completed in Part 1 of the study. Approximately 30 minutes
Secondary Proportion of Social Determinants Based on Two Communities Social determinants of health between participants residing in economically disadvantaged and advantaged communities (defined by zip codes) will be compared by comparing responses to questionnaires for these two populations based on the residential zip codes. This will be conducted during Part 2 of the study. Approximately 90 minutes
Secondary Social Determinants of Health in Participants Patient-specific factors will be quantified using the PRAPARE instrument, the Accountable Health Communities Health-Related Social Needs Screening Tool, and supplemental questions data collected from Part 1 of the study to compare social determinants of health among participants. This will be conducted during Part 2 of the study. Approximately 90 minutes
Secondary Social Determinants of Health in Participants' Communities Community-specific factors will be quantified using the PRAPARE instrument, the Accountable Health Communities Health-Related Social Needs Screening Tool, and supplemental questions data collected from Part 1 of the study to compare social determinants of health within the participants' communities. This will be conducted during Part 2 of the study. Approximately 90 minutes
Secondary Comparisons of Treatment Timelines Among Low Income and High Income Communities Time to presentation, treatment initiation, and extent of surgery for patients will be obtained from Wake Forest Baptist Comprehensive Cancer Center Registry and compared based on economically disadvantaged and advantaged communities. Approximately 90 minutes
Secondary Number of Low Income to High Income Community Participants Participants will be categorized as coming from a low income community of high income community zip code through use of the CDC census data that details median household income for the zip codes provided by participants. Approximately 90 minutes
