About this study

Official title: Building Online Research Partnerships to Improve Sexual and Reproductive Health for Women With Cystic Fibrosis (CF)

This is a Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute engagement effort aimed at training researchers/providers and patients to work in research teams together online throughout the research process (including: development, design, and dissemination) to address critical gaps in their care. This is a change from the typical research done with people with CF as they are frequently isolated from other members of the CF community because of infection control guidelines that restrict in-person contact to avoid the spread of bacteria between patients.

This project has four aims:

  1. build capacity for PCOR knowledge and skills applicable for longitudinal online engagement,
  2. create and disseminate a best practices PCOR user guide for populations that solely engage online,
  3. to create an interactive web-based version of our User Guide through a survey and three modified Delphi rounds, and
  4. to create a comprehensive training manual for conducting PCOR online (step-by-step instructions), which will incorporate the aforementioned user guide.
Read the detailed description

The CF Reproductive and Sexual Health Collaborative (CFReSHC) will introduce and support patient-centered outcomes research (PCOR) to the greater CF community using existing PCOR training products and adapt them so that they address key issues related to researcher-patient teams that solely engage online. We will create a best-practices user guide for online engagement by performing key-informant interviews with patient- or community-engaged teams and periodic assessments of day-to-day platform use with CFReSHC members and other PCOR teams.

  • 4-part educational program to build patient-engagement methodology capacityOther

    We created four online training sessions. Our first training for patients/caregivers only (Research 101) was an exception, however, in which we produced a 25-minute asynchronous, self-directed learning seminar intended to be viewed before the subsequent interactive PCOR sessions. Of the three following synchronous interactive training sessions, two included both learner working groups (patients/caregivers and researchers/providers) together (PCOR 101 and PCOR Team Dynamics) and one session (PCOR Study Design) was for researchers/healthcare providers only.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in knowledge, confidence and satisfaction regarding patient-engagement methodology

    we evaluated each of our training sessions by administering a survey to participants before the training and another similar survey immediately after the training. For both the pre- and post-training surveys, we asked participants to rate their agreement about PCOR knowledge, confidence about engaging in PCOR and training session satisfaction (post-training only) using a 5 option Likert scale. Participants were given a statement related to the learning objective and asked to rate how much they agreed with the statement with options ranging from strongly disagree, disagree, neutral, agree and strongly agree. At the end of each survey, we asked open-ended questions regarding what the participants liked about the training session and how we could improve. Surveys were administered online via REDCap.

    Measured: four separate training programs over the course of a year

  2. Development of step-by-step training manual

    3)4) 12-15 CF and PCOR community stakeholders, selected through an application process, will attend monthly virtual meetings to provide feedback on the development of the PCOR training manual.

    Measured: March 2021-December 2021

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cystic Fibrosis and Patient Engagement, run by University of Washington 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 1 inclusion and 1 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Aug 2021. 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?

Change in knowledge, confidence and satisfaction regarding patient-engagement methodology (time frame: four separate training programs over the course of a year). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT04999865, 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?
