About this study

The proposed trial seeks to determine the impact of patient decision aids versus usual care on measures of patient involvement in decision-making, diabetes care processes, medication adherence, glycemic and cardiovascular risk factor control, and resource utilization in nonurban practices in the Midwestern United States. Upon completion of this trial, the investigators will have new knowledge about both the effectiveness of diabetes decision aids in nonacademic nonurban practices and about the processes that promote or inhibit the successful implementation of patient decision aids in such practices.

Read the detailed description

Type 2 diabetes causes loss of quality and diminished duration of life for over 24 million Americans with great costs and heavy burden of treatment for both society and for affected families. Decision aids are tools that help clinicians involve patients in making deliberate choices by providing accessible information about the options available and their outcomes. We propose to conduct a cluster randomized trial to obtain an estimate of the impact of patient decision aids versus usual care on measures of patient involvement in decision making, diabetes care processes, medication adherence, glycemic and cardiovascular risk factor control, and resource utilization.

Participating clinicians will be trained to use decision aid tools to discuss starting either new diabetes medications or new statins with their enrolled patients. Surveys completed by clinicians and patients will assess satisfaction with decision making and knowledge gained by patients. 3- and 6-month follow-up surveys completed by patients will assess adherence to chosen medications and sustained knowledge. Primary analysis will be conducted utilizing generalized linear models. Some visits will be video and/or audio recorded with permission, and a small subset of patients, clinicians, and support staff will be interviewed by an experienced qualitative researcher using a semi-structured interview guide.

Primary care practices were enrolled then matched by size (less than or equal to 2 clinicians or greater than 2 clinicians) and randomly allocated by a statistician to 1) the use of the Diabetes Medication Choice decision aid and usual care for lipid therapy medication (statin) discussion during the encounter with subjects or to 2) the use of the Statin Choice decision aid and usual care for antihyperglycemic mediations discussion during the encounter with subjects.

    Measured: Immediately (within 10 minutes) following clinical encounter, and 3- & 6-months post encounter

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Provider satisfaction

    Measured: Immediately following clinical encounter

  2. Patient medication adherence

    Measured: 6-months following clinical encounter

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Feb 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites 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?

Decisional quality (knowledge, decisional conflict, and satisfaction) (time frame: Immediately (within 10 minutes) following clinical encounter, and 3- & 6-months post encounter). 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 NCT01029288, 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?
