NCT03593395

Brief Summary

This multi-center study will compare the effectiveness of adding virtual peer mentoring (PM) to a structured education-based (STE) transition program for emerging adults with sickle cell disease to determine its effect on decreasing the number of acute care visits per year, improving patient-reported outcomes, and reducing healthcare utilization among emerging adults with sickle cell disease (EA-SCD)

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Acute Care Visits (Visits Per Year)

    Acute care visits was calculated for each patient as the number of acute care visits over the duration of follow-up (time from enrollment to discontinuation of study participation). Acute visits were identified by manual chart reviews and included hospital admissions, ED, urgent care, day hospital, or infusion center visits. Acute care visits were calculated as the total number of acute care visits reported on study over the years the subject was on study.

    Duration of time on study, on average 23 months

Secondary Outcomes (12)

  • Overall Rating of Health Care From Adults Sickle Cell Quality of Life Measurement Information System Quality of Care Measure (ASCQ-ME QOC)

    6 and 12 months post-enrollment.

  • Pediatric Quality of Life - Sickle Cell Module (PedsQL-SCD Module) for Health-related Quality of Life

    At 6 and 12 months post-enrollment

  • Medical Outcomes Study Social Support Survey (MOS-SSS) Overall Social Support

    At 6 and 12 months post-enrollment.

  • Transition Intervention Program Readiness for Transition (TIP-RFT) Scale

    At 6 and 12 months post-enrollment.

  • Health Care Transition Feedback Survey Item: How Often Does Your Health Care Provider Explain Things in a Way That is Easy to Understand?

    12 months post-enrollment.

  • +7 more secondary outcomes
