Improving Patient-Centered Care for Underserved Older African American Patients With Cardiovascular Comorbidities (NCT07748858)
Improving Patient-Centered Care for Underserved Older African American Patients With Cardiovascular Comorbidities: A Pilot Study of the Patient Priorities Care Approach at Cooper Green Mercy Health Services Authority (PPC-HEART)
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
This is formative evaluation trial guided by the Values Clarification Theory25 and the Cultural Values Theory26, with specific aims to: Aim 1. Develop a culturally appropriate version of the PPC Approach for older AAs with CVCs by assembling a community advisory group of 3 primary care clinicians, 3 older AA patients with CVCs, and 3 AA persons who care for AA patients with CVCs to solicit feedback on the PPC Approach. Aim 2. Determine the acceptability (e.g., program appraisal interviews) and feasibility (e.g., avg. length of program sessions, program participation rate, study completion rate) of the PPC Approach among a sample 20 of under-resourced older southern AA patients with CVCs receiving primary care at Cooper Green Mercy Health Services Authority. Aim 3. Examine the ability of participants to complete pre- and post-test (8 weeks post-baseline) measures of perception of care, treatment burden, shared decision-making, and patient-clinician communication exchange.
