Telephone Calls for Health for Homebound Older Adults
Studieoversikt
Status
Forhold
Intervensjon / Behandling
Detaljert beskrivelse
The intervention arm will include 125 MOW clients to receive a call of between 5 - 10 minutes in length each by a consistent caller, five times a week, Monday through Friday for 4 consecutive weeks to check in on them. After the first week of calls, subjects in the intervention arm will be asked if the frequency of calls is acceptable or if they would like to reduce the call frequency, potentially to a minimum of twice per week.
Brief guidance and training will be provided for the daily conversation to maximize time spent speaking by the recipient but otherwise, the calls are unscripted other than specific prompts to ask about the recipient's general sense of well-being. "How are you doing today?"
The control Arm will include 125 MOW clients who will be randomized to a control group that will not receive the intervention calls. The control group will receive calls from a member of the research team at the beginning of the study to collect baseline survey data and at the post-4-week period to collect post-study survey data.

Intervensjon / Behandling |
|---|---|
|
Eksperimentell: Intervention - Calls
Participants randomized to the intervention will receive a call of between 5 - 10 minutes in length each by a consistent caller, five times a week, Monday through Friday for 4 consecutive weeks to check in on them.
After the first week of calls, subjects in the intervention arm will be asked if the frequency of calls is acceptable or if they would like to reduce the call frequency, potentially to a minimum of twice per week.
|
Calls were made by volunteers trained to engage with participants.
Call structure was unscripted and call length was recommended to be between 5-10 min.
|
|
Ingen inngripen: Control - No calls
Participants randomized to a control group will not receive the intervention calls.
The control group will receive calls from a member of the research team at the beginning of the study to collect baseline survey data and at the post-4-week period to collect post-study survey data.
