About this study

Official title: Text Messaging to Promote Walking Among Latino Adults at Risk for PAD

The purpose of this study is to learn about the impact of text messaging on physical activity in persons with risk factors for peripheral arterial disease (PAD).

Read the detailed description

Thirty-five million Latinos live in the U.S. and nearly 14% have peripheral arterial disease (PAD) defined as a build-up of plaque in the arteries that supply blood to the legs. Approximately 40% have at least one risk for PAD (i.e., aged 70 years and older, diabetes, high blood pressure, high blood cholesterol, or smoking). Persons with at least one risk factor and who are physically inactive are more likely to suffer from severe PAD. Physical inactivity is highly prevalent in Latinos and a major risk factor for PAD. Physical inactivity affects 50% of Latinos aged 60 years and older.

Participation in this study will last for about 3 months. Participants will be randomized to one of two groups. One group will receive text messages, brief telephone calls, and a handout. The other group will only receive the handout. The study will be looking at how the different groups respond to the different interventions used in the study.

What participants receive

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

  • Text MessagesOther

    Text messages will be sent one time per day. Text messages will include messages to motivate and inform participants on the importance of walking.

  • Phone CallsOther

    Participants may receive a telephone call every two weeks for one month followed by once per month for two months.

  • HandoutOther

    Handout includes information specific to participant's condition and ways to promote an active lifestyle.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in Physical Activity

    All participants will use a pedometer. Mean change will be measured based on steps per day.

    Measured: Change from Baseline to 3 Months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Change in Exercise Behavior

    Change will be measured using the Exercise Behaviors Survey.

    Measured: Change from Baseline to 3 Months

  2. Change in Quality of Life

    Change will be measured using the Medical Outcomes Study (MOS) Short Form 36. The survey has 36 questions. Scores are coded based on response by participant. A score of 100 indicates the most favorable situation while a score of 0 would indicate the least favorable.

    Measured: Change from Baseline to 3 Months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Text Messages, Phone Calls and Handout in people with Peripheral Arterial Disease, run by University of Kansas Medical Center 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 4 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 2 Feb 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?

Change in Physical Activity (time frame: Change from Baseline to 3 Months). 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 NCT02622282, 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 2 Feb 2017.
