Other Clinical Trial - Measuring Nutrition Literacy in Clinical Practice:

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

This study evaluates the effects of assessing patient nutrition literacy prior to an initial session with an outpatient dietitian on the patient-centeredness of the session. We will randomize 6 dietitians, 4 of whom will have access to their participating patients' nutrition literacy scores. These dietitians will use this information to better inform their interventions, and hopefully improve their patients' nutrition literacy as a result.

Clinical Trial Description

Nutrition Literacy Assessment Tool (NLit): a validated, 64-question survey that assesses nutrition literacy across 6 subscales:

- Nutrition and Health

- Energy Sources in Food

- Household Food Measurement

- Food Label and Numeracy

- Food Groups

- Consumer Skills

Dietitians who work within 6 different outpatient clinics (1 dietitian per clinic) will be recruited to the study; each dietitian will recruit 19 patients from their clinic. All patient participants will take the NLit survey prior to an initial visit with their dietitian. Dietitians randomized to the intervention arm (n=4) will have access to their participating patients' NLit results, and tailor their intervention to the patient's nutrition literacy weaknesses. Dietitians randomized to the control group (n=2) will not have access to their participating patients' NLit scores, and will provide the same standard-of-care intervention usually provided.

All participating patients will then re-take the NLit a month after their initial session with their dietitian, and we will examine the results to see if a) nutrition literacy improved within groups, and b) if the patients of the intervention dietitians showed more improvement in nutrition literacy than their counterparts being treated by the control dietitians.

We will also collect dietary pattern information from participating patients before their initial session with their dietitian, and again one month after their initial session with their dietitian. We will examine the results to see if a) dietary patterns improve with increased nutrition literacy, and b) if the dietary patterns of patients in the intervention group improve more than patients in the control group.

Finally, we will collect survey information from patients pertaining to the perceived patient-centeredness of the session with their dietitian. We will also collect audio recordings of the sessions between patients and dietitians, which will be analyzed for patient-centeredness. We will also analyze readability and clearness of printed materials used by dietitians during their interventions with patients. ;

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.
