Translating ECHOS2 Into an mHealth Platform (ECHOS2)

January 10, 2024 updated by: Washington University School of Medicine

Evaluation of Cardiovascular Health Outcomes Among Survivors 2 (ECHOS2) Pilot Intervention: Translating ECHOS Into an mHealth Platform

Childhood cancer survivors are at an increased risk of cardiac toxicity due to prior anti-cancer therapy. However, adherence to cardiac screening in this population remains low. This study aims to assess the feasibility of an mHealth motivational interviewing platform called Computerized Authoring Intervention Software (CIAS) in childhood cancer survivors. Participants will be recruited from the Childhood Cancer Survivorship Study.

  • Interventional Model: Single Group Assignment
  • Masking: None (Open Label)

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: Computerized Intervention Authoring Software (CIAS)
Participants will be provided with a link to begin the study following consent, and the link will direct the participants to a baseline survey. At the end of the survey, participants will be automatically redirected to Computerized Intervention Authoring Software (CIAS). Participants will be encouraged to complete 2 sessions in CIAS, approximately 1 week apart. After completing the second session, CIAS will automatically redirect the participants to a post-test survey. Approximately 30 days after completing the second session, participants will be invited to complete a 30 day follow-up survey.
Behavioral: Computerized Intervention Authoring Software (CIAS)
CIAS is a web based intervention. The CIAS tool walks the participant through a Motivational Interviewing process whereby they think through the reasons for and against completing screening. CIAS makes use of an automated avatar (Emmi) who is programed to ask them questions and lead them through several topic areas related to screening. The CIAS pathways include options for participants to request a link of resources after they complete each session and for patients to request a list of the cancer treatments listed in their study records in order to confirm their understanding of their cancer history.

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
Change in health belief model (HBM) construct scale of knowledge about echocardiograms and the effects of their treatment on health
Time Frame: From baseline survey to post-test survey (expected to be about 1 week)
Patients will be asked about their knowledge of echocardiograms and the effects of their treatment on health on a 3 point scale consisting of possible answers of yes, no, and "don't know", with "don't know" being scored as incorrect. The scoring will be the summary of correct responses.

Time Frame: From post-test survey to 1 month follow-up (expected to be about 1 month and 1 week)
Movement toward screening will consist of checking if patient made a plan to set an appointment with healthcare provider to discuss screening, made an appointment to discuss screening, had appointment to discuss screening, scheduled screening, or obtained screening, and if this plan changed between post-test survey and 1 month follow-up.
From post-test survey to 1 month follow-up (expected to be about 1 month and 1 week)

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.
