Literature Review and Scientific Justification for the Study Sample Clauses

Literature Review and Scientific Justification for the Study. This proposal advances the science through innovation in the following ways: 1. Black Belt populations have great needs in terms of healthcare innovations, but they are rarely studied. 2. To our knowledge, practice facilitation and peer coaching to improve (HTN), the two interventions to be tested here, have not been compared, especially not in rural underserved communities. 3. The study is designed from the beginning for scale-up throughout the Black Belt region, from Texas to Maryland. We accomplish this by situating the practice facilitators and peer coaches who will deliver the interventions in community-based organizations in AL, with plans to explore a similar community-based home in NC. The active involvement on our Community Advisory Boards (CABs) of health insurers and the State Departments of Health further strengthen the goal of designing a roadmap for other Black Belt communities, should our interventions prove effective and warrant wider scaling. 4. This study is designed as a pragmatic trial, with additional detail provided in section 3.2. 5. We advance methods of community-engaged research for CVD risk reduction, by engaging stakeholders at every stage of the research process. As discussed in section 3.1, we engaged patients, peer coaches, office staff, and practitioners in designing the proposal, and stakeholder will continue to be engaged throughout the project by using focus and discussion groups, CABs, and semi-structured interviews, following a collaborative, stakeholder engaged intervention development and dissemination approach. This study represents the culmination of 6 years of community-engaged research, with each subsequent study responding to community expressed needs. The study team’s first project in the XX Xxxxx Belt responded to community requests for diabetes programs;14,15 the second project responded to peer coach requests for programs to help individuals with diabetes and chronic pain to be able to exercise;16 and the third program responded to community member misconceptions about medications used for CVD risk reduction, preventing informed medication taking decisions.17 This proposed study also responds to a growing interest in rural primary care practices for help with practice transformation and the meaningful use of their electronic health records (EHRs). 6. The conceptual framework guiding this study is highly innovative, proposing that different types of interventions may operate better for clinical situations with...
