Clinical Research Oriented Workshop (CROW) Meeting: Sept 6, 2018


Present:   Levi Bonnell, Marianne Burke, Jessica Clifton, Justine Dee, Nancy Gell, Kairn Kelley, Ben Littenberg, Jen Oshita, Gail Rose, Connie van Eeghen

1.                   Warm Up: New members coming to CROW soon: Lisa Watts Natkin
2.                   Rodger Kessler & Connie van Eeghen: PRECIS evaluation of IBHPC study: pragmatic vs. explanatory continuum
a.       Background: Rodger Kessler, Stephanie Brennhofer, and Connie van Eeghen are working on a manuscript to describe the PCORI Integrated Behavioral Health in Primary Care study from a research study management perspective: the inherent complexity of large pragmatic trials using IBHPC as a starting point, supplemented with results from a literature review.  They have come to CROW to conduct an exercise in re-evaluating IBHPC on the PRECIS continuum of pragmatic/explanatory trials.
b.       One key issue: in using this continuum, discussion focused on who the participants are (recipients of the intervention) and who the practitioners are (those who deliver the intervention).  IBHPC has two kinds of recipients: patients and practice members.  It has two kinds of practitioners: practice members and “the practice.”  The group used both perspectives in evaluating the study. 
c.       Provider as Participant (Provider is Practice Leadership or the Practice as an entity?  The latter)
                                                   i.            Comparison intervention – practitioner expertise: 10
                                                 ii.            Follow up intensity: collecting a fair amount of data, but not from everyone: drifting from 5 to 4
                                               iii.            Primary trial outcome: 10
                                               iv.            Participant compliance with “prescribed” intervention: education reports are part of the intervention, not part of the research. But the identification of patients and use of the Community Panel are prescribed.  8
                                                 v.            Practitioner adherence to study protocol: 9
                                               vi.            Analysis of primary outcome: 10
d.       THANK YOU EVERYONE!
