Trial Title:
Improving Cancer Prevention and Control Through Academic-local Public Health Department Partnerships
NCT ID:
NCT06605196
Condition:
Cancer
Conditions: Keywords:
Improving cancer prevention and control
academic-local public health department partnerships
Study type:
Interventional
Study phase:
N/A
Overall status:
Not yet recruiting
Study design:
Allocation:
Randomized
Intervention model:
Parallel Assignment
Primary purpose:
Health Services Research
Masking:
None (Open Label)
Intervention:
Intervention type:
Behavioral
Intervention name:
Resources and guided facilitation
Description:
Participants in the intervention arm will participate in a planning period at the
beginning of the intervention period to establish the goals for the partnership. The
investigators will use the prioritized list of AHD partnership features developed in
prior research to guide the initial planning period and then assist the partnership
members to plan to implement the corresponding strategies focused on their areas of
interest (e.g., developing collaborative projects, hiring faculty, staff, or students to
conduct data analysis). The investigators will use telephone, email communication, and
video conferencing to communicate with AHD partnerships, regularly assess progress
towards goals, and adjust goals and strategies based on the progress. One additional in
person visit to each AHD partnership in the intervention arm will be made in year 2 of
implementation to review goals and progress and provide additional guidance and tailored
support as needed.
Arm group label:
Implementation Arm
Intervention type:
Behavioral
Intervention name:
Existing resources
Description:
Individuals will be referred to existing resources in the Learning Community.
Arm group label:
Control Arm
Summary:
The purpose of this study is to understand how to leverage structures and processes of
academic health department (AHD) partnerships to facilitate implementation of cancer
related evidence-based programs and policies (EBPPs).
Detailed description:
The investigators will conduct a group-randomized study (total N=28 AHD partnerships) to
evaluate the effect of strategies to increase implementation of cancer control and
prevention EBPPs by supporting AHD partnerships. Partnerships will be randomized 1:1 to
either an active implementation arm in which they will receive tailored strategies based
on prior knowledge of successful partnerships or to an existing set of resources for AHD
partnerships. A mixed methods approach will be used to evaluate changes in AHD
partnerships and understand how contextual factors may have impacted the AHD
partnership's ability to support EBPP adoption.
