Evaluation of a Novel Technology to Support Tailored Health Behavior Counseling in Rural Primary Care Clinics
Sponsor: Washington University School of Medicine
Summary
This project will conduct a pilot hybrid study that examines the implementation (Aims 1 \& 2) and preliminary effectiveness (Aim 3) of PREVENT, a digital health intervention, among patients with overweight/obesity (N=100) using a clinic-randomized design. The central hypothesis of the study is that PREVENT will be feasible and show improvements in health behavior counseling and the patient experience that will improve patients' motivation to change, and their CVH health behaviors and outcomes.

Wait-List Control
Will receive routine clinical care. After completion of follow-up measures, control participants will receive a behavior change prescription via the PREVENT tool
PREVENT Tool
PREVENT is a novel Health Information Technology tool designed to promote physical activity and healthy food intake among overweight/obese patients at the point of care. PREVENT automates the delivery of personalized, evidence-based behavior change recommendations and provides an interactive map of community resources to help the care team link patients to resources in their community. PREVENT follows up with patients electronically and communicates progress on behavior change to the care team.
