Brief Summary

To evaluate the effectiveness of Take Heart, a behavioral/educational program for adults age 50+ with heart disease, or with at least two risk factors for heart disease, that helps them to better manage their health condition(s). Take Heart is a new version of an evidence-based program that has recently been adapted to be suitable for the needs of adults residing in Detroit.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Hospitalizations

    This will be measured by asking participants to report the number of nights they have stayed overnight in the hospital during the past year, for something related to their own health. We will ask this at baseline and then at the 12 month mark after the completion of the baseline survey, so that we can compare the year prior to the intervention to the year they completed the intervention. In addition, when possible, we will verify self-reported hospitalizations with Electronic Medical Record (EMR) data from our partners at the Detroit Medical Center (DMC). We will only be able to look into the EMRs of those participants that are patients at the DMC. Change will be indicated by difference between count at baseline and count at follow-up.

    Baseline and 12-month follow up

  • Emergency Department Visits

    This will be measured by asking participants to report the number of times they went to the emergency department for something related to their own health, during the past year. We will ask this at baseline and then at the 12 month mark after the completion of the baseline survey, so that we can compare the year prior to the intervention to the year they completed the intervention. In addition, when possible, we will verify self-reported Emergency Department visits with Electronic Medical Record (EMR) data from our partners at the Detroit Medical Center (DMC). We will only be able to look into the EMRs of those participants that are patients at the DMC. Change will be indicated by difference between count at baseline and count at follow-up.

Study Arms (2)

Take Heart self-management program

EXPERIMENTAL

Group and telephone-based educational program to enhance self-management of heart disease and related risk factors.

Behavioral: Take Heart

Waitlist control

NO INTERVENTION

Control group participants will be offered the opportunity to participate in Take Heart following the conclusion of their study involvement.

Interventions

Take HeartBEHAVIORAL

Participants receive an evidence-based heart disease self management program consisting of a combination of five two and a half hour group sessions and telephone counseling offered by a trained facilitator employed by the Detroit Area Agency on Aging. The program is designed so that participants select an area to work on (e.g., diet, exercise, medication taking, communication with health care professionals) and receive support, information, and encouragement from group members and program facilitators, to help them reach their goals.

Data Sharing

IPD Sharing
Will share

Data sharing: We will have self-reported data (baseline and 12-month) on health, demographics, and psychosocial functioning from both intervention and control participants. An anonymized dataset will be created, which will be made available to other researchers who have appropriate approvals from all relevant Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) through a secure file transfer protocol (FTP) site, M+Box, whose encryption protocols allow secure uploading of files, with sharing limited to specified users (see: http://www.itcs.umich.edu/storage/box/faq.php#storage). Data dictionaries and data collection forms will also be made available. Researchers using the data will be instructed to delete their copy of the dataset once analyses are complete. An email address to reach University of Michigan investigators will be available for questions about the datasets.
