Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The purpose of the study is to assess the efficacy of a case manager/social worker administered, telephone-based educational curriculum in improving cardiovascular disease related outcomes among HIV-infected clinic patients.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Behavioral: Telephone
  • Other: Educational pamphlets
N/A

Detailed Description

Fifty high Cardiovascular Disease Risk (CVD) risk clinic patients will be randomized 1:1 to receive either a series of educational pamphlets on CVD risk reduction plus a telephone-based CVD risk reduction curriculum delivered over 24 weeks [intervention arm], or the educational pamphlets alone [control arm]. Anthropomorphic data, blood pressure and lipid profiles will be obtained from patients to assess the efficacy of the intervention in reducing blood pressure and serum low-density lipoprotein levels (LDL).

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Educational pamphlets + telephone

Behavioral: Telephone
A series of educational pamphlets on CVD risk reduction plus a telephone-based CVD risk reduction curriculum will be administered by Clinic-Based Case Managers (CCMs). Six modules will be given over 24 weeks in a rotating fashion on topics relevant to CVD risk. Subjects will be given the pamphlets every 2 weeks corresponding with the first time they receive the telephone - based module.

Other: Educational pamphlets
A series of 6 handouts will be given to controls once monthly over 6 months on the same topics presented in the telephone modules. Educational packets will be primarily drawn from free printed material available at www.learningaboutdiabetes.org and the American Heart Association website.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Change in ambulatory systolic blood pressure [baseline, 24 weeks, 48 weeks, 72 weeks]

    Change of systolic blood pressure will be assessed as an absolute continuous variable, and as a proportion or persons who achieve >5mmHg reduction in systolic blood pressure from baseline

  2. Change in fasting LDL-c levels [baseline, 24 weeks, 48 weeks, 72 weeks]

    Assessment of the absolute change in fasting calculated low density lipoprotein cholesterol over the study period.

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Total weight loss [baseline, 24 weeks, 48 weeks, 72 weeks]

    Total weight loss from baseline over the study period.

  2. Change in 10-year atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk score [baseline, 24 weeks, 48 weeks, 72 weeks]

    The global cardiovascular disease risk as calculated by the American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association's 10-year risk calculator.
