About this study

Official title: Educational Videos to Address Racial Disparities in Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator Therapy Via Innovative Designs

VIVID is a prospective, multicenter, randomized clinical trial in African American patients that will to evaluate: (1) the effect of an educational video on knowledge of sudden cardiac death (SCD) and implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs); (2) the effect of an educational video on the decision for ICD implantation, decisional conflict, and receipt of an ICD within 90 days; and 3) the effect of racial concordance between study patients and video participants (health care providers/patients) on the decision for ICD implantation, decisional conflict and ICD receipt within 90 days.

Read the detailed description

VIVID is a prospective, multicenter, randomized clinical trial that will evaluate three specific research questions. In black patients eligible for a primary prevention implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD), 1) what is the effect of a patient-centered educational video compared with usual care (UC) on knowledge of SCD (Sudden Cardiac Death), associated risk factors, and ICDs; 2) what is the effect of a patient-centered educational video compared with UC on the decision for ICD implantation, decisional conflict, and receipt of an ICD within 90 days; 3) what is the effect of racial concordance between study patients and video participants (health care providers/patients) on the decision for ICD implantation, decisional conflict and ICD receipt within 90 days. In addition, in-depth qualitative interviews (IQI) with a sample of trial participants will be conducted to determine the salient influences on their decision and explore the reasons for their ultimate decision and subsequent implantation or non-implantation of an ICD.

Approximately 480 patients eligible for a primary prevention ICD will be enrolled at approximately 12 hospitals in this study. Study sites selected for VIVID will be geographically diverse and provide care to a significant proportion of racial and ethnic minority patients. Patient's will be mailed a letter regarding the study, prior to their initial visit. At the initial visit, patients will be approached about participation in the trial. For those interested, informed consent will be obtained and patients will be randomized. The investigators will be utilizing electronic consents on an iPad. Black patients will be randomized to one of 3 arms: educational videos presented in the same format; one with black participants (patients and providers) or the other with white participants (patients and providers); The third arm will be usual care (control) and the provider can interact with the patient consistent with their typical/usual care. Notably, for both intervention and control arms, all patient management decisions are completely at the discretion of the care providers.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Proportion of Patients Saying "Yes" to ICD

    Proportion of patients who have decided by 7 days to receive an ICD among patients randomized to the video intervention compared with health care provider counseling (usual care)

    Measured: 7 days

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Proportion of Individuals Saying Yes to ICD Implant in the Racially Concordant Video

    Proportion of patients who watched a racially concordant video and who decided by 7 days to receive an ICD

    Measured: 7 days

  2. Changes in Patient Knowledge (Pre and Post Intervention)

    Difference in Knowledge Questionnaire scores before and after receiving the intervention. Range of 0 to 13, with higher score indicating greater knowledge about ICDs.

    Measured: Baseline preintervention and Baseline (approximately 20mins later) post intervention

  3. Changes in Decisional Conflict (Pre and Post)

    Difference in Decisional Conflict Scale score from baseline pre-intervention to 1 week post-intervention, range of 0-100 with higher value indicating greater conflict about the decision to receive an ICD.

    Measured: Baseline pre intervention and 1 week post intervention

  4. ICD Receipt Within 90 Days of Enrollment.

    Number of participants receiving ICD implant within 90 days of enrollment as assessed by medical record review.

    Measured: 3 Months

  5. Time Spent With Patients by Providers in Each Arm of the Study

    Number of minutes spent with patients during baseline visit as measured by baseline questionnaire timer

    Measured: Baseline

  6. Patient Knowledge

    Assessment of knowledge retention at one week through re-administration of baseline Knowledge Questionnaire. Scale of 0-13, with higher score indicating more knowledge about ICDs.

    Measured: 1 week
