HealthySteps for Social Determinants of Health

Rockville, Maryland
BACKGROUND: The Defense Health Agency (DHA) and the Office of Military Community and Family Policy (MC\&FP) requested assistance in evaluating the effectiveness of a military pilot implementation of a civilian program designed to assist families with infants called HealthySteps (HS; HealthySteps National Office, 2018). HS is a unique pediatric primary care-based program that helps families identify and manage parenting challenges. The program interweaves the medical support of the pediatrician's office with the resources and services of a HS Specialist trained to help parents understand their infants' needs (e.g., feeding, behavior, sleep) and their role as caregivers. HS Specialists provide enhanced educational support and facilitate targeted referrals to other relevant DoD and civilian support resources. OBJECTIVE: The HS program has not been widely implemented or evaluated previously in a military context. However, a small 2-site pilot was initiated in 2017 by MC\&FP to assess the feasibility of offering the HS program in military treatment facilities (MTF). The Defense Health Agency (DHA) further determined that this pilot program could be expanded to fulfill a 2019 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) requirement for the implementation and evaluation of a pilot program to reduce risk factors for child abuse and neglect within the U.S. military community. APPROACH: This outcome evaluation study entailed a review of medical records for families enrolled in the HS pilot as well as the collection of prospective survey data. Survey data collected from primary caregivers enrolled in HS at seven implementation locations throughout the U.S. is being compared with survey data collected from caregivers of newborns seeking care at control locations offering pediatric treatment as usual. VALUE: The HS program is expected to improve parental engagement in well-baby care, increase targeted screenings and referrals, improve parental efficacy and knowledge, as well as facilitate integration and utilization of existing family services available across disparate military support settings. It also is expected to increase military service satisfaction and perceived support among military parents. Summary reports of study results will be provided to MC\&FP, DHA, and Congress. RESEARCH COLLABORATORS: NHRC is a Department of the Navy Bureau of Medicine and Surgery research command located in San Diego, California. Abt Global is a leading civilian professional research corporation with extensive experience in military health research. Investigators from these two institutions are collaborating to conduct this outcome evaluation. STUDY POPULATION: Participating pilot program clinics included 7 military pediatric clinic locations selected by DHA and serving personnel and their families from all U.S. military service branches. All families with children aged 0-4 months seeking well-baby care at participating MTF pilot pediatric clinics were eligible for HS program services and for study recruitment. Additionally, beneficiaries similarly seeking care for a newborn at 11 MTF pediatric clinics providing treatment as usual were eligible for the comparison condition. Medical records for this population were reviewed and prospective survey evaluation data were collected and merged together for ongoing analysis and reporting.

Why Other Patients Applied

"My orthopedist recommended a half replacement of my right knee. I have had both hips replaced. Currently have arthritis in knee, shoulder, and thumb. I want to avoid surgery, and I'm open-minded about trying a trial before using surgery as a last resort."

"I've tried several different SSRIs over the past 23 years with no luck. Some of these new treatments seem interesting... haven't tried anything like them before. I really hope that one could work."

"I changed my diet in 2020 and I’ve lost 95 pounds from my highest weight (283). I am 5’3”, female, and now 188. I still have a 33 BMI. I've been doing research on alternative approaches to continue my progress, which brought me here to consider clinical trials."

"I have dealt with voice and vocal fold issues related to paralysis for over 12 years. This problem has negatively impacted virtually every facet of my life. I am an otherwise healthy 48 year old married father of 3 living. My youngest daughter is 12 and has never heard my real voice. I am now having breathing issues related to the paralysis as well as trouble swallowing some liquids. In my research I have seen some recent trials focused on helping people like me."

"I've been struggling with ADHD and anxiety since I was 9 years old. I'm currently 30. I really don't like how numb the medications make me feel. And especially now, that I've lost my grandma and my aunt 8 days apart, my anxiety has been even worse. So I'm trying to find something new."

Why We Started Power

We started Power when my dad was diagnosed with multiple myeloma, and I struggled to help him access the latest immunotherapy. Hopefully Power makes it simpler for you to explore promising new treatments, during what is probably a difficult time.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do clinical trials pay?
Each trial will compensate patients a different amount, but $50-100 for each visit is a fairly common range for Phase 2–4 trials (Phase 1 trials often pay substantially more). Further, most trials will cover the costs of a travel to-and-from the clinic.
How do clinical trials work?
After a researcher reviews your profile, they may choose to invite you in to a screening appointment, where they'll determine if you meet 100% of the eligibility requirements. If you do, you'll be sorted into one of the treatment groups, and receive your study drug. For some trials, there is a chance you'll receive a placebo. Across trials 30% of clinical trials have a placebo. Typically, you'll be required to check-in with the clinic every month or so. The average trial length is 12 months.
How do I participate in a study as a "healthy volunteer"?
Not all studies recruit healthy volunteers: usually, Phase 1 studies do. Participating as a healthy volunteer means you will go to a research facility several times over a few days or weeks to receive a dose of either the test treatment or a "placebo," which is a harmless substance that helps researchers compare results. You will have routine tests during these visits, and you'll be compensated for your time and travel, with the number of appointments and details varying by study.
What does the "phase" of a clinical trial mean?
The phase of a trial reveals what stage the drug is in to get approval for a specific condition. Phase 1 trials are the trials to collect safety data in humans. Phase 2 trials are those where the drug has some data showing safety in humans, but where further human data is needed on drug effectiveness. Phase 3 trials are in the final step before approval. The drug already has data showing both safety and effectiveness. As a general rule, Phase 3 trials are more promising than Phase 2, and Phase 2 trials are more promising than phase 1.
Do I need to be insured to participate in a medical study ?
Clinical trials are almost always free to participants, and so do not require insurance. The only exception here are trials focused on cancer, because only a small part of the typical treatment plan is actually experimental. For these cancer trials, participants typically need insurance to cover all the non-experimental components.
What are the newest clinical trials ?
Most recently, we added HealthySteps for Social Determinants of Health to the Power online platform.
