This is a randomized, open trial comparing post discharge interventions by community health workers (CHW) to standard care in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients.

This trial will be conducted in 10 hospitals in India/different parts(both secondary and tertiary care). A total of 800 patients will be recruited, with equal allocation to SPREAD interventions and control groups (usual care)

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • CHW based intervention post ACSBehavioural

    CHW is trained and supervised to provide interventions that could improved adherence to post ACS care

Study groups in NCT01207700
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
CHW based intervention post ACSExperimentalCHW trained and supervised for intervening upon post ACS patients to improve adherence to evidence based care
Receives: Behavioral: CHW based intervention post ACS
Standard CareNo interventionPatients will be followed upto 12 months without a community health worker intervention as per standard practices of the hospital

What is being measured

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

  1. To obtain estimates of rates of adherence to pharmacotherapy and lifestyle modification interventions and the incidence of major cardiovascular events

    Evaluate the rates of adherence to pharmacotherapy and lifestyle modifications using the community health worker

    Measured: 12 months

  2. To determine the feasibility of conducting a secondary prevention trial using CDCHWs on adherence to medications and lifestyle advice

    A pilot study to look at feasibiility of using a trained community health worker to deliver health messages to patients who have had a coronary event

    Measured: 12 MONTHS
