Getting INFORMED and Living Well: A Demonstration Project to Facilitate Pandemic Recovery Among Asian Americans in California

The project is to facilitate pandemic recovery by promoting emotional wellness among Asian Californians. The intervention includes a 6-week program in which participants may choose to receive text only or text + Lay Health Worker outreach targeting 600 self-identified Asian Americans residing in California who speak/read English, Chinese, Korean, Hmong, or Vietnamese.

Study Overview

Status

Status

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

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

Investigators will conduct a non-randomized intervention trial (preference trial). Research participants involved in the trial will include 20 lay health workers (LHWs) and 600 trial participants with intervention delivered via SMS text messaging (for all participants), and the intervention group will receive educational intervention outreach from an LHW via Zoom or mutually agreed video conferencing online venues, and by telephone or instant messaging. Participants will choose which group they are in, SMS text messaging only or SMS text messaging plus educational outreach from an LHW.

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

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.

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: INFORMED-Living Well
INFORMED-Living Well consists of two components: 1) LHW outreach support providing responsive education and support; and 2) a 6-week automated SMS text messaging. The LHW educational outreach component includes 2 small group educational sessions with 2-8 participants. Participants will also receive a weekly SMS Text or instant message on managing emotional wellness within and beyond the context of the COVID-19 pandemic over 6 weeks. In addition, participants will receive as-needed messages on updates of COVID-19 or other situations that may introduce new worries and tragic culturally-based traumatic events.
Behavioral: INFORMED-Living Well
1) LHW outreach support providing responsive education and support; and 2) a 6-week automated SMS text messaging
Active Comparator: Text Messaging Only
Participants will have a 6-week SMS text messaging program identical to that received by the INFORMED-Living Well participants.
Behavioral: Text Messaging Only
A 6-week automated SMS text messaging

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 decisional conflict scale (SURE) scores
Time Frame: Baseline and 8-week follow-up
Self-assessed perceptions of decision conflict will be assessed using the 4-item Decision Conflict Scale (SURE). Scores on the SURE scale range from 0 to 4, with higher scores indicating less decisional conflict. A score of less than 4 indicates decisional conflict.
Baseline and 8-week follow-up

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
Change in proportion of participants who have Intention to seek help for mental health
Time Frame: Baseline and 8-week follow-up
We will use a survey item to assess participants' intention to seek help for mental health issues when needed. A response will be 0 (No) or 1 (Yes).
Baseline and 8-week follow-up
Change in self-reported emotional wellness outcome
Time Frame: Baseline and 8-week follow-up
We will use the four-item Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ4) for measuring anxiety and depression symptoms. Scores are rated as normal (0-2), mild (3-5), moderate (6-8), and severe (9-12). Total score 3 or higher for the first 2 questions suggests anxiety, and total score 3 or higher for the last 2 questions suggests depression.
Baseline and 8-week follow-up
Change in the percentage of participants' awareness of resources to get help or to learn more about improving emotional wellness
Time Frame: Baseline and 8-week follow-up
We will assess participants' awareness of resources to get help or to learn more about improving emotional wellness. Two items created for the study will be used: 1) Do you know about "988"? (Yes, No, Unsure) 2) Do you know where to get help for mental health issues when you need to? (Yes, No, Unsure). The percentage of participants who answer "yes" to both questions will be assessed.
Baseline and 8-week follow-up
