Palliative Care Messaging for American Indians

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

The investigators will be conducting a randomized trial in 3 reservation communities to test the efficacy of the narrative as culture-centric health promotion model for increasing American Indian tribal members' palliative care knowledge and intentions to discuss palliative care.

Clinical Trial Description

Palliative care is specialized patient-/family-centered care designed to reduce suffering and enhance quality of life for persons with serious illness. Culturally responsive palliative care can ease serious illness burden experienced by American Indians (AIs) and improve seriously ill AIs end-of-life decision-making. However, for seriously ill Northern Plains AIs, specifically those in South Dakota (SD), access to and use of culturally responsive palliative care is severely limited. To address this need, the investigators have formed a multidisciplinary, tribally-driven collaborative team consisting of Great Plains Tribal Leaders Health Board, active AI community advisory boards at the following reservations: Cheyenne River, Rosebud, and Pine Ridge, and South Dakota State University. The research team will conduct a campaign messaging efficacy test using the narrative as culture-centric health promotion model (NCHP) to create and test culture-centric narrative messaging that improves knowledge of palliative care and encourages participants to engage in formal and informal communication about palliative care. The NCHP model is an evidence-based innovative approach to enhance AI's knowledge and intentions to talk formally and informally about palliative care, because it provides guidelines for how to construct culture-centric narratives which identify the features of effective narratives and the mechanisms by which the narratives work to transform cognitive and behavioral outcomes. The investigators have developed a culture-centric narrative health video message and will be conducting a randomized trial to test the efficacy of the NCHP model for increasing AI tribal members' palliative care knowledge and intentions to discuss palliative care. ;

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.
