Project IMPACT: CHW Intervention (IMPACT)

May 15, 2020 updated by: NYU Langone Health

Project IMPACT: Community Health Care Worker (CHW) Intervention

The proposed study "Project IMPACT: CHW Intervention" is part of a larger study examining the efficacy, adoption, and impact of integrated EHR-based decision-support and physician feedback interventions with community health worker (CHW)-led self-management and coaching support for South Asian patients with uncontrolled hypertension. This is a randomized control intervention utilizing community health worker (CHW)-led self-management and coaching support for South Asian patients with uncontrolled hypertension at PCP clinics in New York City.

Detailed Description

The Goal of this study is that:

  1. EHR-based decision support and performance feedback interventions will be more effective in improving hypertension control for South Asian patients than standard care;
  2. A combined EHR-CHW intervention will be more effective in improving hypertension control for South Asian patients compared to standard care and the EHR-based intervention

Investigators hope to implement and assess the efficacy of CHW-led coaching through promotion of team-based care and use of culturally tailored education to improve hypertension control and mitigate risk factors related to CVD among South Asian patients with uncontrolled hypertension. Study findings can provide translatable and scalable models for other limited English proficient communities.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Active Comparator: CHW Intervention
CHW lead Sessions Session1: BP and the Cardiovascular System Session 2: Nutrition and food labels Session 3: Physical Activity and Stress Management Session 4: CVD Risk factors: cholesterol, blood sugar, & Smoking Session 5: Health Communication, Healthcare access & Review
Patients randomized to Group A will be invited to attend 4 more group educational sessions on self-management immediately.CHWs will follow up with participants by phone or in person through a home or clinic visit. At these follow-up meetings, CHWs will engage in goal-setting activities regarding changes to health behaviors, medication adherence, or other issues related to hypertension control as identified jointly by the patient and CHW. CHWs will also collect height, weight, and blood pressure measurements at initial and in-person follow-up visits. The CHW will make necessary referrals to other services available in the community (i.e. exercise classes, social services, mental health, tobacco cessation, etc.).
Placebo Comparator: Control Group
Wait-list
4 education sessions beginning 6-12 months later.
