About this study

Official title: Increasing Hepatitis B Screening Among Korean Church Attendees (Component Project) Program Project Title: Liver Cancer Control Interventions for Asian Americans

The purpose of this study is to design an intervention to increase hepatitis B (HBV) screening among Korean Americans.

The investigators will design a culturally specific intervention (educational sessions) and test the effect of the intervention on 1200 Korean Americans.

All subjects will be interviewed before the intervention/control sessions and 6 months after the sessions to assess HBV screening levels in the two groups. Self-reported HBV screening will be verified by a review of subjects' medical records.

The primary study hypothesis is that the intervention group will have a higher rate of HBV serologic testing at follow-up compared to the control group.

Read the detailed description

The purpose of this study is to design an intervention to increase hepatitis B (HBV) screening among Korean Americans.

The investigators will design a culturally specific intervention; an educational small group discussion led by a trained Korean leader. The effect of the intervention will be tested on 1200 Korean Americans.

Subjects will be recruited at Korean churches and invited to join a one-hour discussion of health issues with other members of their church. One half of the subjects will participate in the intervention group. These subjects will discuss HBV and will receive resources related to HBV and where to obtain screening. The other half of the subjects will participate in the control group. These subjects will discuss nutrition and physical activity and will receive resources related to these topics, but not related to HBV and where to obtain screening.

All subjects will be interviewed before the sessions and 6 months after the sessions to assess HBV screening levels in the two groups. Self-reported HBV screening will be verified by a review of subjects' medical records.

The primary study hypothesis is that the intervention group will have a higher rate of HBV serologic testing at follow-up compared to the control group.

Secondary hypotheses are:

The intervention group will have a higher level of knowledge of hepatitis B and liver cancer at follow-up compared to the control group.

The effect of the intervention on hepatitis B serologic testing will be mediated by knowledge of hepatitis B and liver cancer.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Educational Small Group Session in people with Hepatitis B, run by University of California, Los Angeles 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 5 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 28 Nov 2016. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Obtaining HBV Screening Test (time frame: 6 months post-intervention). 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 NCT00760721, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 28 Nov 2016.
