Predict + Protect Study: Exploring the Effectiveness of a Predictive Health Education Intervention on the Adoption of Protective Behaviors Related to ILI

August 27, 2024 updated by: Evidation Health

Predict + Protect: A Randomized Controlled Trial Exploring the Effectiveness of a Predictive Health Education Intervention on the Adoption of Protective Behaviors Related to Influenza-like Illness (ILI)

The goal of this prospective, digital randomized controlled trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of a predictive ILI detection algorithm and associated alerts during influenza season for adults living in the contigent United States. The main study objectives are to assess the effectiveness of predictive ILI detection algorithm and associated alerts on protective behaviors related to ILI and assess the accuracy of a predictive ILI detection algorithm using participant self-reported ILI symptoms and diagnosis.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Proactive ILI content & Predictions
Participants will receive predictive alerts, reactive content after reporting symptoms or receiving an asymptomatic prediction, and ILI-related health educational content
Participants receive ILI-related education, feedback, and opportunities to self-monitor ILI symptoms, in addition they also receive alerts about potential ILI illness, and reactive and personalized content about protective health behaviors.
Experimental: No Proactive ILI content & Predictions
Participants will receive predictive alerts and reactive content after reporting symptoms or receiving an asymptomatic prediction, but will not receive proactive ILI content
Participants receive alerts about potential ILI illness, and reactive and personalized content about protective health behaviors.
Experimental: Proactive ILI content & No Predictions
Participants will not receive predictive alerts or reactive content after reporting symptoms but will receive proactive ILI content
Participants receive ILI-related education, feedback, and opportunities to self-monitor ILI symptoms.
Experimental: No Proactive ILI content & No Predictions
Participants will not receive predictive alerts or reactive content after reporting symptoms or proactive ILI content
Participants will not receive predictive alerts or reactive content after reporting symptoms or proactive IILI-related health educational content

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
The primary objective of this study is to assess the effectiveness of a predictive ILI detection algorithm and associated alerts on ILI-related health and behavioral outcomes
Time Frame: Through study completion, approximately 10 months
The difference between the predictive alert and the no predictive alert groups in the proportion of cohort members who performed any target health behavior 1-4 (i.e. performed at least one of: reduced spread, tested, sought medical attention, or was treatment adherent)
Through study completion, approximately 10 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
The secondary objective is to assess the accuracy of an ILI detection algorithm using self-reported symptoms and ILI diagnosis
Time Frame: Through study completion, approximately 10 months
Evaluate algorithm performance (against labels from self-reported ILI symptoms and/or self-reported positive diagnosis) overall and per model deployed. Algorithm performance will be assessed across a variety of dimensions including ROC AUC, sensitivity, specificity, PPV, and NPV
Through study completion, approximately 10 months

Other Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
The exploratory objective is to assess differences in effectiveness between the four groups on ILI-related health and behavioral outcomes
Time Frame: Through study completion, approximately 10 months
The difference between all groups in the proportion of cohort members who performed any target health behavior 1-4 (i.e. performed at least one of: reduced spread, tested, sought medical attention, or was treatment adherent)
Through study completion, approximately 10 months
