Periodo de tiempo
Leicester Cough Questionnaire
Periodo de tiempo: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 4 weeks
The Leicester Cough Questionnaire is a 19-item questionnaire that measures how chronic cough affects quality of life over the past two weeks. It includes three domains: physical, psychological, and social. Each item is rated on a seven-point Likert scale ranging from "all of the time" to "none of the time." Total score range is between 3-21, with lower scores indicating a worse outcome. Expected means of cough-related quality of life at baseline and follow-up assessments, mean score differences between baseline and follow-up assessments, and expected standard deviations
From enrollment to the end of treatment at 4 weeks
Acceptance and Action Questionnaire-II
Periodo de tiempo: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 4 weeks
The Acceptance and Action Questionnaire-II is a 7-item questionnaire that measures psychological flexibility by assessing the ability to be present and accept internal feelings and thoughts. Each item is rated on a seven-point Likert scale ranging from "never true" to "always true." Total score range is between 7-49, with higher scores indicating a worse outcome. Expected means of psychological flexibility at baseline and follow-up assessments, mean score differences between baseline and follow-up assessments, and expected standard deviations
From enrollment to the end of treatment at 4 weeks
Brief Experiential Avoidance Questionnaire
Periodo de tiempo: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 4 weeks
The Brief Experiential Avoidance Questionnaire is a 15-item questionnaire that measures experiential avoidance by assessing the tendency to avoid unpleasant feelings, thoughts, and bodily sensations. Each item is rated on a six-point Likert scale ranging from "strongly disagree" to "strongly agree." Total score range is between 15-90, with higher scores indicating a worse outcome. Expected means of experiential avoidance at baseline and follow-up assessments, mean score differences between baseline and follow-up assessments, and expected standard deviations

Cognitive and Affective Mindfulness Scale-Revised
Periodo de tiempo: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 4 weeks
The Cognitive and Affective Mindfulness Scale-Revised is a 12-item questionnaire that measures a broad concept of mindfulness. Each item is rated on a four-point Likert scale ranging from "rarely/not at all" to "almost always." Total score range is between 12-48, with lower scores indicating a worse outcome.

SÍ

Descripción del plan IPD

De-identified individual participant data (IPD) will include demographic and clinical characteristics extracted from the electronic medical records. Primary outcome measures (e.g., feasibility, acceptability) and secondary outcome measures (e.g., cough-related quality of life, psychological flexibility) will be shared. All data will be de-identified prior to sharing, with removal of direct identifiers and use of coded study IDs.

Marco de tiempo para compartir IPD

De-identified individual participant data (IPD) and supporting information will be made available to the scientific community no later than the time of publication or by the end of the project period, whichever comes first. Data will be preserved for at least five years following the end of the grant award funding period (06/30/2029).

Criterios de acceso compartido de IPD

Access to de-identified individual participant data (IPD) and supporting information will be provided to qualified investigators who initiate requests for access. Investigators who submit a reasonable request demonstrating scientific merit, feasibility, and ethical use of the data will be eligible for access. Data will be accessible through a controlled-access process via the UNC Dataverse repository. Interested researchers must submit a request that will be reviewed by the study team. Upon approval, users will be required to complete a Data Use Agreement outlining conditions for data security, confidentiality, and appropriate use. Approved users will be granted access to de-identified datasets and accompanying documentation necessary to interpret and reuse the data.
