Outcomes of a Remotely Delivered Complementary and Integrative Health Partnered Intervention to Improve Chronic Pain and Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Symptoms: Randomized Controlled Trial

Demographic information was examined for veterans in the MR (n=140) and waitlist control (n=136) conditions who completed baseline surveys. Veterans (n=276) had an average age of 56.54 (SD 13.74) years; were primarily male (201/276, 72.8%), White (198/276, 71.7%), non-Hispanic (236/276, 85.5%), and married or partnered (207/276, 75%); had attended or completed college or vocational school (256/276, 92.8%); and reported daily computer (167/276, 60.5%) and internet (222/276, 80.4%) use.

Efficacy and Implementation Planning Across the Veterans Affairs Polytrauma System of Care: Protocol for the REACH Intervention for Caregivers of Veterans and Service Members With Traumatic Brain Injury

Accordingly, 55 participants will be randomized to each group (N=110). With this sample size, we will have 80% power to detect a Cohen d of 0.50 assuming a correlation of pre- and postintervention scores of 0.50. The UVA institutional review board (IRB) will be overseeing research activities carried out at all civilian research universities (UVA IRB-SBS Protocol # 6237). The University of South Florida (USF) is the reliance-agreement IRB of the James A.

Mobile and Web-Based Partnered Intervention to Improve Remote Access to Pain and Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Symptom Management: Recruitment and Attrition in a Randomized Controlled Trial

Primary reasons for ineligibility included inability to contact or uninterested (n=863, 2.7%), no partner (n=310, 1%), unable to perform study tasks (n=81, 0.3%), psychotic disorder or cognitive difficulty (n=32, 0.1%), no pain or PTSD diagnosis (n=29, 0.09%), positive moderate-to-severe TBI screen (n=27, 0.08%), and veteran deceased (n=27, 0.08%). In total, 364 (1.1%) veteran-partner dyads consented for this study. A flow diagram of the veteran-dyad recruitment is presented in Figure 1.

Traumatic Brain Injury Intensive Evaluation and Treatment Program: Protocol for a Partnered Evaluation Initiative Mixed Methods Study

Traumatic Brain Injury Intensive Evaluation and Treatment Program: Protocol for a Partnered Evaluation Initiative Mixed Methods Study

Data from each IETP participant will be obtained from site leads beginning with Tampa (2015 to present; n=approximately 350). We will obtain identifiers that allow linkage to VA and Do D health system data and create a study crosswalk database behind the VA firewall that includes the encrypted identifier, a study ID, and contact information for interview and survey administration. We will obtain intake and discharge measures from each IETP site.

Reduced Hospitalizations, Emergency Room Visits, and Costs Associated with a Web-Based Health Literacy, Aligned-Incentive Intervention: Mixed Methods Study

Reduced Hospitalizations, Emergency Room Visits, and Costs Associated with a Web-Based Health Literacy, Aligned-Incentive Intervention: Mixed Methods Study

When patients were asked to report (to their doctors) their level of adherence with the health recommendations contained in the program’s educational content, on a scale of 1 to 5, with 1 meaning “not following recommendations” and 5 meaning “following recommendations closely,” the mean response was 4.70 (n=15,186) over the 2015-2017 time period. These self-assessments indicated a strong consensus among patients that they were, or intended to be, compliant with recommended treatments.

Veterans’ Preferences for Exchanging Information Using Veterans Affairs Health Information Technologies: Focus Group Results and Modeling Simulations

Veterans’ Preferences for Exchanging Information Using Veterans Affairs Health Information Technologies: Focus Group Results and Modeling Simulations

One female group (n=3) was convened to address woman’s health issues in addition to health conditions. This single group of females represented high-volume HIT users. Two other types of groups were formed: chronic conditions groups (n=7 groups) (eg, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, diabetes mellitus, high blood pressure) and mental health groups (n=6 groups). These condition groups were then divided into high- and low-volume HIT use groups. See Table 1 for further details.
