Peer Intervention to Improve Access Among Rural Women Veterans With Psychological Distress and Unmet Social Needs (EMBER)

2022. július 25. frissítette: Syracuse VA Medical Center

Use of a Peer Intervention to Improve Access Among Rural Women Veterans With Psychological Distress and Unmet Social Needs

This research project will refine and evaluate delivery of a peer-delivered evidence-based intervention to improve perceived access and actual engagement with mental health treatment and social resource service use among rural women Veterans, especially Veterans of color, with psychological distress and unmet social needs.

A tanulmány áttekintése

Részletes leírás

Not only do rural women Veterans report significant psychological distress (PTSD, anxiety, depression, suicide risk) and social needs (housing, transportation, material insecurity), they also experience substantial barriers accessing services which limits the Veteran Health Administration's (VHA) ability to address their needs. Personalized Support for Progress (PSP) is a virtually delivered intervention in which a Peer Specialist supports Veterans in prioritizing their needs and attaining access to the Veterans' preferred services. This trial is investigating whether PSP with rural women Veterans is associated with improved perceived access and actual engagement to mental health and social resource services, as well as high satisfaction and improved mental health, social needs and function outcomes. Rural women Veterans of color are more likely to be coping with psychological distress and social needs, as well as experiencing barriers to engagement and retention in services. Therefore this trial is designed to ensure that PSP delivery is tailored to increase rural women Veterans of color's acceptability.

The primary study design is a randomized controlled trial of Tailored Referral Information (TR) compared to Personalized Support for Progress (PSP) intervention for rural women Veterans with psychological distress and social needs (Aim 2). Prior to implementing the trial, focus groups and individual interviews will be conducted with women Veterans, Peer Specialists, and providers/stakeholders to determine any needed adaptations to determine any needed adaptations of PSP delivery for rural women Veterans and for PSP implementation in rural primary care clinics (Aim 1).

Kísérleti: Personalized Support for Progress (PSP)
PSP includes an initial 60-minute video or phone appointment and then follow-up tailored to the Veteran's preferences. The Peer Specialist guides the Veteran through a card-sorting task to prioritize concerns and then create a personalized care plan. The Peer then provides up to six months of outreach and support to implement the care plan. At the end of the six months, the Veteran and peer review the plan, determine next steps and consider other supports and resources to sustain progress made.
Personalized Support for Progress (PSP) is a Peer Specialist delivered intervention in which a peer supports Veterans in prioritizing their needs and attaining access to the Veterans' preferred services.
Aktív összehasonlító: Tailored Referral (TR)
The Tailored Referral (TR) comparator will be comprised of written or emailed information describing resources and contact information for VHA and local social and mental health resources. Examples include information about the appropriate office/person to reach within the local VA or area, help scheduling an appointment, or information for a same-day Primary Care - Mental Health Integration (PCMHI) assessment.
TR consists of detailed resource information and referral, consistent with standard practice.

Baseline, 6 Months (post-intervention), and 9 Months (3 Months post-intervention)
Change in social needs
Időkeret: Baseline, 6 Months (post-intervention), and 9 Months (3 Months post-intervention)
Change in social needs will be assessed using the Protocol for Responding to and Assessing Patients' Assets, Risks, and Experiences (PRAPARE), a standardized tool for collecting social determinants of health (SDH) data including socioeconomic and psychosocial characteristics.

Items are scored on a Likert scale from 0 to 6. The B-IPF is scored by summing the scored items to create a total score, dividing the total score by the maximum possible score based on the number of items scored, and multiplying by 100. The B-IPF represents an overall index of functioning, with higher scores indicating greater functional impairment.
