Will Veterans Engage in Prevention After HRA-guided Shared Decision Making?
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Shared decision making with a Prevention Coach for Health Risk Appraisal and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 417 participants across 2 sites.
Detailed Summary
The VA has committed to disseminate a web-based Healthy Living Assessment(HLA) tool and use it as the cornerstone of a personalized prevention plan to engage patients to improve their health behaviors that lead to high health risk. Health risk assessments done in isolation, however, do not generally lead to behavior change. Our study will test the effectiveness of a Shared Decision Making intervention designed to activate Veterans to enroll in effective prevention programs. The intervention will be conducted over the telephone, by a prevention coach, and will be linked to the patients' primary care team. The co-primary outcomes will be patient activation and patient enrollment in prevention programs; 10-year risk of major cardiac events will also be measured.
