Adults with psychiatric disabilities get sick and die 20 to 30 years younger than same-age peers, with even greater disparities occurring when the person is from a low SES or of color. Factors explaining this difference are complex and include genetic comorbidity, iatrogenic effects of medication, life choices, and life consequences. These factors are worsened by service disparities which are often fragmented in the public health system. Peer navigators are part of a program in which providers escort people with psychiatric disabilities around the fragmented system to meet their health and wellness goals, often a demanding task for the person who has needs addressed at clinics, labs, and pharmacies spread across an urban area. Navigators are peers because they have lived experience of recovery and are often from similar ethnic groups. A community-based participatory research program supported by NIMHD and PCORI developed a peer navigator program specific to the needs of people with psychiatric disabilities. Results of two small pilots funded by NIMHD and PCORI showed the Peer Navigator Program (PNP) led to significant improved service engagement which corresponded with better health, recovery, and quality of life. The studies included fidelity measurement which showed peer navigators conducting the intervention at high levels of fidelity. The current research is an efficacy study with a more fully powered test of PNP versus treatment as usual, which is integrated care (TAU-IC). The investigators aim to recruit 300 adults with psychiatric disability who wish to improve physical health/wellness through peer health navigation randomized to TAU-IC or TAU-IC plus PNP. Individuals will participate in assigned interventions as part of 8-month cohorts with data being obtained at baseline, 4, 8, and 12 months. Data will include personal descriptors (demographics, diagnosis, life consequences report), outcomes (service engagement, physical symptoms, blood pressure, recovery, and quality of life), mediators (personal empowerment, self-determination, and perceived relationship for recovery), and process measures (fidelity, feasibility, and acceptability). Investigators hypothesize that those in PNP intervention will have improved outcomes over the integrated care as usual. A cost-benefit analysis will seek to model impact based on quality-adjusted life years. Larger effect sizes will permit post hoc identification of how PNP effects vary by participant characteristics such as ethnicity and gender.

Opioid use disorder (OUD) confers a higher risk of acquiring and transmitting infectious diseases, which may have long-term health consequences in Veterans. Treatment of OUD with medication assisted therapy is highly effective, however this often occurs independently of infectious diseases care. This project will test out a new model that combines infectious diseases and OUD care within one VA clinic appointment. This new care model may improve the health of Veterans and reduce cost and time required for Veterans who often need to attend multiple outpatient appointments.

Why Other Patients Applied

"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."

Obesity PatientAge: 58

"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."

ZS
Depression PatientAge: 51

"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."

AG
Paralysis PatientAge: 50

"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."

FF
ADHD PatientAge: 31

"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."

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 Integrated Care for Opioid Use Disorder, Collaborative Care for Anxiety and Depression in Epilepsy and Peer Navigation for Psychiatric Disabilities to the Power online platform.
