Partnership in Implementation Science for Geriatric Mental Health (PRISM)

April 29, 2021 updated by: Hongtu Chen, Brigham and Women's Hospital
The Partnership in Implementation Science for Geriatric Mental Health (PRISM) project proposes an evidence-based physical exercise intervention for older adults who exhibit behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD). The proposed evaluation study will conduct a randomized controlled trial with a Hybrid Type 3 design to compare the intervention arm that implements the culturally-adapted GTO model (GTO-ThAI) to deliver implementation support, with a control arm, which receives usual top-down administrative instruction for implementing a policy initiative.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Recruiting

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

The overall goal of this project is to establish a hub to integrate implementation research for scaling up sustainable, evidence-based mental health interventions with research capacity-building activities for East Asia. Specific scale-up study aims include: Aim 1: Assessing readiness for implementing the evidence-based physical exercise intervention for improving mental health of older adults in participating provinces of Thailand; Aim 2: Developing the GTO-ThAI implementation support model through a pre-implementation case study and formative evaluation; and Aim 3: Evaluation of implementation strategies and clinical outcomes through a hybrid Type 3 randomized trial to test an evidence-based implementation support strategy (i.e., the GTO-ThAI model) that emphasizes a systematic process to address implementation barriers to the delivery of the evidence-based physical exercise intervention (PEI), compared with the existing standard administrative procedures for delivering the same PEI.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.
Interventional

Enrollment (Anticipated)

Enrollment

The number of participants in a clinical study. The "anticipated" enrollment is the target number of participants that the researchers need for the study.
350

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

51 years to 81 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • (a) adults who are aged 55 and older,
  • (b) screen positive for dementia,
  • (c) screen positive for BPSD, and
  • (d) having a caregiver who is willing to participate in the study.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • (a) caregivers who are cognitively not intact, and/or
  • (b) not willing to participate in the intervention.

Design Details

  • Primary Purpose: Health Services Research

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Experimental: PEI-GTO-ThAI
Physical exercise intervention (PEI) supported by the GTO-ThAI Implementation Model
Behavioral: Physical Exercise Intervention
The 12-week physical exercise intervention will be delivered by trained community health workers (CHW) who are supervised by nurses. The CHW will visit the patient's home-3 sessions per week for the first 2 weeks, followed by weekly visits for 6 weeks, and then weekly telephone support for 4 weeks-to instruct the family caregiver and the patient in the exercise routine. Each session includes physical activities designed to promote gentle stretching, strength, balance, flexibility, and endurance, with a progressive schedule (i.e., the total length of time increases from 10 minutes up to 30 minutes maximum) and its intensity adjusted based on the participant's level of fitness.
Active Comparator: PEI-Standard
Physical exercise intervention (PEI) supported by the standard governmental administrative procedures
Behavioral: Physical Exercise Intervention
The 12-week physical exercise intervention will be delivered by trained community health workers (CHW) who are supervised by nurses. The CHW will visit the patient's home-3 sessions per week for the first 2 weeks, followed by weekly visits for 6 weeks, and then weekly telephone support for 4 weeks-to instruct the family caregiver and the patient in the exercise routine. Each session includes physical activities designed to promote gentle stretching, strength, balance, flexibility, and endurance, with a progressive schedule (i.e., the total length of time increases from 10 minutes up to 30 minutes maximum) and its intensity adjusted based on the participant's level of fitness.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Implementation outcome score
Time Frame: Up to 12 months
Adapted from the Quality Implementation Tool (Meyer et al., 2012), using a total score based on average of ratings, by site implementation team leaders, on a 7-point Likert scale over 48 items across eight dimensions of implementation (e.g. adoption, fidelity, dosage, program reach, differentiation, quality of implementation, implementation cost, sustainability).
Up to 12 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD)
Time Frame: Up to 12 months
BPSD will be assessed by the Neuropsychiatric Inventory (NPI), using the total score obtained by summing all the individual domain total scores; each domain score is the product of the frequency score multiplied by the severity score for that behavioral domain.
Up to 12 months
