About this study
Official title: Evaluating the Feasibility of a Future Trial-based Economic Evaluation of a Multistage Shared Decision-making Program for the Treatment of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: a Pilot Study
Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a highly prevalent disease, affecting over a million Dutch citizens, leading to severe micro- and macrovascular complications, reduced quality of life, and high healthcare costs. Clinical guidelines recommend a person-centered approach to improve (health)outcomes. However, with rapidly increasing treatment options, both in terms of medication and lifestyle interventions, shared decision making (SDM) is challenging in practice. Therefore, researchers have developed a multistage SDM program consisting of an online patient decision aid for type 2 diabetes mellitus, training for healthcare professionals in SDM, and a preparatory consult to provide patients with the knowledge and confidence to participate in SDM. Strong evidence of (cost)-effectiveness is a key requirement to achieve broad implementation of this program. This pilot study represents an important initial step towards high-quality economic evaluation research, with a focus on the diversity of the study population, burden on participating healthcare practices, and feasibility of outcome measurement.
Read the detailed description
Rationale: Previous randomized controlled trials researching the effects of shared decision-making (SDM) support through patient decision aids (PDAs) for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) experienced several challenges related to study procedures, resources, and study management. These challenges include difficulties in recruiting participants, understandability of questionnaires, timely recruitment, and inadvertent recruitment bias. Small-scale piloting is crucial to address uncertainties around the feasibility of trial methods and to refine the study procedures of a large-scale economic evaluation. This protocol outlines a pilot study aimed at evaluating the feasibility of a future trial-based economic evaluation of a multistage SDM program, including a PDA for T2DM in the Netherlands. By conducting a pilot study, the researchers aim to improve the quality of the intended trial-based economic evaluation.
Objectives: Researchers will conduct a pilot study focused on the following questions to prepare for an intended economic evaluation of our multistage SDM program for T2DM: 1) How to recruit and retain a representative sample of patients with T2DM in terms of sociodemographic and clinical background?; 2) How to support primary care practices in managing the challenges associated with study participation?; 3) How to feasibly measure relevant outcomes of SDM for T2DM using valid and reliable measurement instruments?
Study design: The multistage SDM program will be piloted in a cluster-randomized controlled trial using a mixed-methods approach. Four primary care practices will be included, of which two will be randomly assigned to the intervention group and two to the control group.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
multistage shared decision-making programBehavioural
The multistage shared decision-making program consists of 1) an online patient decision aid; 2) preparatory consult to provide patients with the knowledge and confidence to participate in shared decision-making; and 3) training to improve healthcare professionals' skills for shared decision-making.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Intervention | Other | The intervention entails a multistage shared decision-making (SDM) program for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) that combines (1) an online PDA with (2) a preparatory consult for patients, and (3) interprofessional training in the PDA and SDM for healthcare professionals. Receives: Behavioral: multistage shared decision-making program |
| Control | No intervention | Patients and healthcare professionals in the control practices will provide and receive usual care according to the national guidelines for T2DM of the Dutch College of General Practitioners (NHG). Participants in the control practices will not have access to the multistage SDM program. |

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a highly prevalent disease, affecting over a million Dutch citizens, leading to severe micro- and macrovascular complications, reduced quality of life, and high healthcare costs. Clinical guidelines recommend a person-centered approach to improve (health)outcomes.

Therefore, researchers have developed a multistage SDM program consisting of an online patient decision aid for type 2 diabetes mellitus, training for healthcare professionals in SDM, and a preparatory consult to provide patients with the knowledge and confidence to participate in SDM.

This questionnaire consists of nine statements each describing a different step of the shared decision-making process. All items are scored on a six-point Likert scale from zero (completely disagree) to five (completely agree).
Healthcare professional level of shared decision-making measured with the SDM-Q-Doc questionnaire
Time frame: Throughout implementation period, 9-months
The SDM Q-Doc questionnaire (SDM-Q-9 adapted to the healthcare professional viewpoint) is used to measure the level of shared decision-making during a consultation from the perspective of a healthcare professional.
Patient knowledge measured with tailor-made questions
Time frame: Measured at baseline
Patient knowledge is measured with nine tailor-made multiple-choice questions assessing patients' understanding of the (risks and benefits of) glucose-lowering treatments.
Glycemic control obtained from general practitioner data
Time frame: Baseline, 3-months and 9-months follow-up
Glycemic control of participating patients will be obtained by obtaining HbA1c data from the general practitioner
Health-related quality of life measured with the EuroQol (EQ) 5 Dimension (5D) - 5 Level (5L) questionnaire
Time frame: Baseline, 3-months and 9-months follow-up
Health-related quality of life of participating patients will be measured with the Dutch EuroQol (EQ) 5 Dimension (5D) - 5 Level (5L) This measure facilitates utility calculations and includes the EQ-5D dimension and the EQ visual analog scale (EQ VAS). EQ-5D comprises five dimensions: mobility, self-care, pain, usual activities and anxiety. Each dimension is scored on a five-point Likert score (from no problems to extreme problems). The EQ VAS is used to assess the patient's self-reported health on a visual analog scale.
Medical consumption measured with the iMCQ
Time frame: Baseline, 3-months and 9-months follow-up
Medical consumption will be measured with an adapted version of the institute for Medical technology Assessment (iMTA) Medical Consumption Questionnaire (iMCQ).
Productivity costs measured with the iPCQ
Time frame: Baseline, 3-months and 9-months follow-up
Productivity costs will be measured with an adapted version of the institute for Medical technology Assessment (iMTA) Productivity Costs Questionnaire (iPCQ).
Understandability of measurement tools
Time frame: Throughout the 9-month implementation period
Sem-structured interviews with patients will be held to gain insight into the understandability of the measurement tools.
