About this study

Official title: Web-based, Patient-centered Approach to CVD Risk-factor Management and Reduction

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a serious health concern for American Indians, but there have been few behaviorally based programs to lessen CVD risk among this population. The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether a Web-based program, in addition to usual medical care, can lower CVD risk factors among American Indians who have type 2 diabetes and a high risk of developing CVD.

Read the detailed description

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a leading cause of death among American Indians. Significant risk factors for CVD within the American Indian population include type 2 diabetes, tobacco use, poor dietary and physical activity habits, and poor medication and treatment adherence. Despite the fact that these risk factors can be reduced through behavior change, there have been few behaviorally based interventions aimed at American Indians to lessen their CVD risk. Research has shown that medical care is moving away from sporadic, standard doctors' office visits to a more continuous and interactive relationship with health care providers. A Web-based program that allows people to interact with remotely located doctors who can answer questions and provide advice may be beneficial at increasing treatment adherence and lowering CVD risk. This study will evaluate the use of a Web-based program at lowering CVD risk among American Indians with type 2 diabetes. Researchers will also analyze the cost-effectiveness of the Web-based program and the possible healthcare cost savings.

This 3-year study will enroll American Indian adults at high risk for CVD. Participants will be randomly assigned either to usual care at their local health facility or usual care plus the Web-based program. Participants using the Web-based program will have access to a Web site that will allow them to interact with two remotely based doctors. Participants will be able to send e-mail and instant messages to ask questions and receive information, advice, or motivational messages from the doctors. Participants will periodically enter their blood glucose test results and complete questionnaires online. Study visits, occurring twice a year for 3 years, will include blood pressure and body mass index (BMI) measurements, blood collection, and smoking status assessments.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Chronic disease management Web-based software in people with Cardiovascular Diseases and Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2, run by Black Hills Center for American Indian Health 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 4 inclusion and 6 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 4 Jun 2014. 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?

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?

Glycosylated hemoglobin (HbgA1c) (time frame: Measured at Year 3). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00608387, which also lists 4 linked publications.

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?
