Evaluation of a new personalized health dashboard in preventive Child Health Care: Protocol of a Mixed Methods Feasibility Randomised Controlled Trial.
ABSTRACT
Background:
To adopt Personalized Health Care within preventive Child Health Care (CHC), a 360⁰CHILD-profile is developed. On this dashboard, holistic health data are visualized in one image to provide parents/youth and caregivers direct access to a manageable résumé of child’s medical record. Theoretical ordering, conform “International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (Children and Youth version)”, guides thought processes within the relevant context. It is yet unknown if and how this promising tool functions in practice and a variety of feasibility questions must be addressed.
Objective:
This paper describes design and methods of a Feasibility Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT), which is performed to evaluate RCT’s feasibility (recruitment, response, measure completion, intervention allocation) and 360⁰CHILD-profile’s feasibility (usability, potential effectiveness).
Methods:
A pragmatic Mixed Methods design is chosen, starting with an RCT to measure feasibility and health literacy in two parallel groups (1:1). Then, qualitative research is used to understand/explain quantitative findings and explore stakeholder’s perspectives on 360⁰CHILD-profile’s potential. Participating CHC-professionals (n≥30) recruit parents (n≥30) and caregivers (n=±10) of children, who experience problems (age 0-16). Children could only participate if age is above 11 (youth, n=±10). Both groups received care as usual. Experimental group, additionally, received personalized 360⁰CHILD-profiles.
Results:
After intervention period of 6 months, quantitative outcomes were measured, analysed (descriptive feasibility statistics and preliminary between group differences) and used to purposively sample for semi-structured interviews.
Conclusions:
Study results will provide knowledge for building theory on the CHILD-profile and designing future (effect) studies. Clinical Trial: Trial registration: NTR 6909; https://www.trialregister.nl/trial/6731
