An interventional study of MyHP-South Program in Multiple Chronic Conditions and Shared Decision-making, sponsored by University of Alabama at Birmingham. Not yet recruiting at 1 site in United States. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-11-09.
Sponsored by University of Alabama at Birmingham · Not applicable, Interventional, and Health services research
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of the revised My Health Priorities (MyHP) program among rural and underserved older adults with multiple chronic conditions in the Deep South. The program is designed to help participants clarify their health-related values, as well as improve communication with family caregivers and healthcare providers to support medical decision-making. The main question this study aims to answer is whether the revised MyHP program is practical/easy for individuals to use, and if it helps support necessary conversations about healthcare priorities. Participants will be asked to complete the revised MyHP program over a Zoom or in-person session with their caregiver, as well as complete questionnaires over a telephone interview before and 12 weeks after the completion of the program. In addition to participating in the MyHP program, caregivers will also be asked to complete a series of questionnaires over a telephone interview before and 12 weeks after the program. Both patients and caregivers will also be asked to complete a brief survey about their experience with the program over a telephone interview.

Includes the patients and caregivers who will be utilizing the MyHP-South program, as well as evaluating its feasibility/accessibility based on clarity, cultural relevance, usability, content, and delivery. This arm also includes the clinicians who will be assessing the usefulness of the program in a primary care setting.
Other: MyHP-South Program
Participants will use the refined My Health Priorities South (MyHP-South) program to help identify and communicate personal health priorities, then evaluate its feasibility/accessibility based on clarity, cultural relevance, usability, content, and delivery.
Patient System Usability Scale (SUS)
Over a Zoom or telephone interview, patients will answer ten questions regarding the accessibility/usability of the revised MyHP-South tool. Answer options will follow a ranked, Likert-type frequency scale, with answers ranging from 1: strongly disagree, to 5: strongly agree.
Time frame: At the MyHP-South session, within 14 days after baseline.
Acceptability Interview
Over a Zoom or telephone interview, both patients and caregivers will together answer 26 questions regarding their experience using the revised MyHP-South tool. Answer options will be open-ended.
Time frame: At the MyHP-South session, within 14 days after baseline.
Recruitment Feasibility
Indicated by the number and proportion of eligible patient-caregiver dyads who enroll.
Time frame: From initiation of recruitment through enrollment of the final dyad (approximately 12 months).
Retention and Completion Feasibility
Indicated by the number and proportion of enrolled dyads completing baseline assessments, the MyHP-South session, immediate post-session assessments, the acceptability interview, and the 12-week assessments.
Time frame: From baseline through 12 weeks after the MyHP-South session.
Caregiver System Usability Scale (SUS)
Over a Zoom or telephone interview, caregivers will answer ten questions regarding the accessibility/usability of the revised MyHP-South tool. Answer options will follow a ranked, Likert-type frequency scale, with answers ranging from 1: strongly disagree, to 5: strongly agree.
Time frame: Immediately after the MyHP-South session, during the same study visit.
CollaboRATE Scale Score
Over a telephone interview, patients will answer three questions regarding their experience with their healthcare provider during a clinical encounter. Answer options will follow a ranked scale ranging from zero to nine and will then be calculated into a final score/percentage.
Time frame: At baseline and 12 weeks after the MyHP-South session.
Treatment Burden Questionnaire (TBQ) Score
Over a telephone interview, patients will answer 13 questions regarding the potential burden of managing multiple chronic conditions. Answer options will follow a ranked scale ranging from zero to ten and will then be calculated into a final score.
Time frame: At baseline and 12 weeks after the MyHP-South session.
Patient Shared Care Instrument Score
Over a telephone interview, patients will answer 19 questions regarding communication, decision making, and reciprocity with their caregiver. Answer options will follow a Likert-type frequency scale, which will be calculated into final scores for each of the three subscales.
Time frame: At baseline and 12 weeks after the MyHP-South session.
Bakas Caregiver Outcomes Scale (BCOS)
Over a telephone interview, caregivers will answer 10 questions regarding potential life changes that have occurred as a result of serving as a caregiver. Answer options will follow a ranked, Likert-type frequency scale, with answers ranging from -3: changed for the worse, to +3: changed for the best.
Time frame: At baseline and 12 weeks after the MyHP-South session.
Older Patient Assessment of Chronic Illness Care (O-PACIC) Scale Score
Over a telephone interview, patients will answer ten questions regarding the quality of medical care they have received over the past six months. Answer options will follow a Likert-type frequency scale, which will then be calculated into a final score.
Time frame: At baseline and 12 weeks after the MyHP-South session.
Caregiver Shared Care Instrument Score
Over a telephone interview, caregivers will answer 19 questions regarding communication, decision making, and reciprocity with their patient. Answer options will follow a Likert-type frequency scale, which will be calculated into final scores for each of the three subscales.
Time frame: At baseline and 12 weeks after the MyHP-South session.
Timing Log for MyHP-South Session
Research staff will document the length of each MyHP-South session by documenting what time the session started and what time the session ended. Time used to navigate technical difficulties will be subtracted. Tracking how long the session takes serves as a measure of feasibility.
Time frame: At the MyHP-South session, within 14 days after baseline.
Clinician Feedback Survey
Over an electronic survey, clinicians who provide care to enrolled patients will answer ten questions regarding the clarity, fit, and usefulness of the revised MyHP-South in a primary care setting.
Time frame: Within 6 months after the completion of the MyHP-South session.
