Trial Outcomes & Findings for Helping Empower Liver and Kidney Patients (NCT NCT03426787)

NCT ID: NCT03426787

Last Updated: 2019-09-11

Results Overview

The percent correct out of eight questions created by the research team based on information that is considered vital to making treatment decisions, including understanding HCV and CKD, the health effects of both diseases, and understanding factors that differentiate treatment options. Scores range from 0 to 100. Higher scores demonstrate more knowledge.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: At baseline and immediately after viewing the intervention, within 30 minutes.

Population: Participants completed both pre and post-test survey questions for the knowledge questions.

The percent correct out of eight questions created by the research team based on information that is considered vital to making treatment decisions, including understanding HCV and CKD, the health effects of both diseases, and understanding factors that differentiate treatment options. Scores range from 0 to 100. Higher scores demonstrate more knowledge.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: At baseline and immediately after viewing the intervention, within 30 minutes.

Population: Participants completed both pre and post-test survey questions for the decisional conflict scale.

The validated, 4-item SURE Test for clinical practice will be used. This scale measures whether individuals feel they have enough information to make a choice, are clear about their values for risks and benefits of their choice and feel they have enough support to make a choice. Scores range from 0 to 4. Higher scores indicate more confidence in their choice.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: At baseline and immediately after viewing the intervention, within 30 minutes.

Population: Participants completed both pre and post-test survey questions for the decision self-efficacy scale.

The validated decision self-efficacy scale will be used. This 11-item scale measures an individual's self-confidence or belief in their ability to make a decision. Individuals will be asked to rate how confident they feel taking actions involved in making an informed choice (e.g., gathering information, asking questions, and expressing opinions). Scores can range from 0 to 100. Higher scores indicate more confidence in participants ability to make a treatment choice.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Completed immediately after viewing the intervention

Population: Participants completed the system usability scale in our post-test questionnaire.

A 10-item scale that evaluates the website's usability level. Scores can range from 0 to 100. An average score of 68 is considered a usable/adequate tool per measure guidelines. Higher scores represent better usability level for the tool.
