Trial Summary

Will I have to stop taking my current medications?

The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications.

What data supports the effectiveness of the treatment Data report back preference by life span?

The research on Tailored Lifestyle Conversations (TLC) suggests that personalized data reporting can help patients prioritize health behavior changes, potentially leading to better health outcomes. Additionally, using dashboards to present individual clinical outcomes, as seen in chronic kidney disease management, can enhance patient knowledge and engagement, which may support the effectiveness of data report back designs in health education. ^{1 2 3 4 5}

What is the purpose of this trial?

There remains a need for novel research that facilitates RBRR in a manner that raises data and environmental health literacy (D/EHL) and supports communities striving for environmental health and structural change. Rooted in bioethics and building upon trusted and established long-term partnerships and leveraging existing datasets, the project goal is to create and pilot a national model of report back that is centered in the margins and engages diverse rural and urban EJ communities to ensure that RBRR reaches all populations in a manner tailored to their individual needs, including culture, life stage, language, and design.

Interventions

• Data report back preference by life span

Trial Overview The trial is testing how different approaches to reporting back data can improve data and environmental health literacy. It focuses on the role of culture, life stage, and information design in making data report back equitable and effective.

Findings from Research

Disseminating research findings to healthcare providers, particularly physicians, often results in only modest changes in their behavior, which is crucial for improving patient care.

Effective strategies for promoting behavior change include face-to-face interactions, active involvement of learners, repetition of messages, and leveraging opinion leaders, highlighting the need for more research on healthcare providers' motivations and decision-making processes.
