Avoiding Health Disparities When Collecting Patient Contextual Data for Clinical Care and Pragmatic Research
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Communication
In brief
To assess whether the routine collection of patient-contextual data improves patient activation and communication, and can mitigate racial disparities in communication and engagement, we are inviting patients who have upcoming appointments at the participating health system to participate in a communication study. Patients will be randomized to having guided (facilitated) enrollment in a tool that collects patient contextual data, or to usual care. All patients are invited directly by the health system to use the tool. Statistical methods will be used to determine the impact of the tool's use on outcomes of interest, as well as the impact on completion by the use of the facilitated enrollment. The study will particularly focus on assessing the impact of patient-contextual data and communication on heath disparities.
