About this study

Official title: Assessment Mode and Validity of Self-Reports in Adults

This study will examine how the assessment mode influences the validity of self-reported adherence to asthma therapy. Self-reported adherence to asthma therapy data will be collected using one of three randomized assessment modes (interview, computer, or telephone).

Read the detailed description

BACKGROUND:

Self-reports are a primary source of behavioral data. Studies have highlighted the variable validity and reliability of self-report measures of health behaviors such as adherence to therapy. Research on self-reports of sensitive information, such as sexual behavior and drug use, suggests that the mode of data collection may enhance validity of self-reports. However, no studies have determined how the mode of data collection influences self-reports when an objective measure of the behavior is available.

DESIGN NARRATIVE:

The primary aim of this study is to examine the influence of the mode of data collection on the validity of self-reports of inhaled anti-inflammatory medication adherence.

The key secondary outcomes of the study will attempt to answer the following questions: 1) does the assessment mode influence self-reports of commonly used asthma outcome measures of disease-related symptoms, self-management behaviors, and quality of life?; 2) does the relationship between the assessment mode, the validity of self-reports of adherence, and other measures (i.e., asthma symptoms, self-management behaviors, and quality of life) change over time?; and 3) does the assessment mode interact with baseline personality characteristics and mood to influence the validity of self-reports of adherence and other outcome measures (i.e., asthma symptoms, self-management behaviors, and quality of life)?

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Concordance between patient's self-reported medication adherence and electronically measured adherence

    Measured: Measured at Months 1 through 5

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Impact of mode of assessment on adult self-reports of asthma symptoms, asthma management practices, and quality of life

    Measured: Measured at Months 1 through 5

  2. Relationship between baseline measures of psychosocial variables (i.e., personality and mood) and the primary outcome

    Measured: Measured at Months 1 through 5

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Standardized Asthma Education Program in people with Lung Diseases and Asthma, run by Johns Hopkins University at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Dec 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Concordance between patient's self-reported medication adherence and electronically measured adherence (time frame: Measured at Months 1 through 5). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 13 Dec 2017.
