项目摘要

Stroke is a leading cause of disability, cognitive impairment, and death. The COVID-19 pandemic has surfaced longstanding and severe health disparities in a range of conditions, including stroke. Compared to other groups, African American individuals have a higher prevalence of stroke risk factors, including hypertension, diabetes mellitus, high cholesterol, and peripheral vascular disease. These factors are compounded by differences in socioeconomic status, leading to higher stroke prevalence and mortality. However, there is growing evidence to suggest that most strokes can be prevented by controlling modifiable risk factors. The guiding assumption in this research is that interventions targeting blood pressure (BP) control in people of color can narrow racial and ethnic disparities in stroke recurrence. Although there is limited research, it has been shown that telehealth can be effectively used to reduce BP in populations of color. The proposed research leverages preliminary work by the investigative team on stroke disparities to conduct a pilot randomized control trial (RCT) in an African American and Afro-Caribbean population in Central Brooklyn. The proposed studies are informed by a TRANSCREATION implementation science framework and an intervention model we developed called the Digital Equity for Stroke Approach (DESA). DESA’s innovation lies in integrating four novel components: provision of broadband internet (or equivalent) to address the digital divide, enhanced family caregiver support, flexible (telehealth, text, email) remote two-way communication between patient and clinician, and real-time remote BP monitoring. The proposal is constituted by three aims, corresponding to the following stages: pre-trial preparatory RCT and post-trial phases that examine facilitators and barriers. We will employ a convergent mixed method design to guide data collection and analysis. The first aim lays the foundation for the RCT by developing a digital equity plan, assessing user experience, and conducting preliminary telehealth experiments to ensure usability, flow and address implementation issues. In the pilot RCT, we will test whether the DESA group will lead to a net reduction in BP control and improvement in medication adherence in the participant group compared to usual care. We will randomize stroke patients into a 9-month pilot RCT (standard care, N=40 vs. DESA, N=40). Our primary hypothesis is that patients randomized to DESA will have a greater reduction in systolic BP (SBP) at 9 months than control patients. All patients will receive a BP Monitor that will capture, store and automatically transmit BP readings in real-time to a secure server via an encrypted cellular connection. Participants randomized to DESA will also receive a touch screen telehealth tablet with the necessary applications installed, and a cellular connection enabled. The third aim/ post-trial phase will solicit feedback via a survey and key informant interviews. The ultimate objective is to build capacity for a multidisciplinary research program and a robust, high-tech, community-engaged digital health solution that will synchronize data collection and data sharing across a network of community-based organizations, healthcare systems, and academic institutions.

中风是导致残疾、认知障碍和死亡的主要原因 COVID-19 大流行已浮出水面。与其他群体相比，包括中风在内的一系列疾病存在长期且严重的健康差异。非裔美国人中风危险因素的患病率较高，包括高血压、糖尿病糖尿病、高胆固醇和外周血管疾病等因素因不同的因素而变得更加复杂。失业状况导致中风患病率和死亡率更高然而，越来越多的证据表明。表明大多数中风可以通过控制可改变的危险因素来预防。研究表明，针对有色人种血压 (BP) 控制的干预措施可以缩小种族和民族范围尽管研究有限，但远程医疗是可以实现的。有效地用于降低有色人种的血压。拟议的研究利用了前期工作。中风差异调查小组在一名非裔美国人中进行了一项试点随机对照试验 (RCT) 和布鲁克林中部的非洲裔加勒比人口拟议的研究是通过转录提供的。实施科学框架和我们开发的称为中风数字股权的干预模型方法 (DESA) 的创新在于整合了四个新颖的组成部分：提供宽带互联网。（或同等）解决数字鸿沟、增强家庭护理人员支持、灵活（远程医疗、短信、电子邮件）患者和临床医生之间的远程双向通信以及实时远程血压监测该提案。由三个目标构成，分别对应以下阶段：审前准备RCT和审后我们将采用收敛混合方法设计来指导数据。第一个目标是通过制定数字股权计划为 RCT 奠定基础，评估用户体验，并进行初步远程医疗实验，以确保可用性、流程和在试点随机对照试验中，我们将测试经社部小组是否会导致净减少。与常规护理相比，参与者组的血压控制和药物依从性的改善。将中风患者随机纳入为期 9 个月的试点随机对照试验（标准护理，N=40 与 DESA，N=40）。假设随机接受 DESA 的患者在 9 个月时收缩压 (SBP) 会有更大的降低所有患者都将收到一个血压监测仪，该监测仪将捕获、存储并自动传输血压。通过加密的蜂窝连接将读数实时传输到安全服务器。参与者随机分配到 DESA。还将收到安装了必要应用程序的触摸屏远程医疗平板电脑和蜂窝电话第三个目标/试验后阶段将通过调查和关键知情人访谈征求反馈。最终目标是建立多学科研究项目的能力以及强大的高科技、社区参与的数字健康解决方案，将跨区域同步数据收集和数据共享由社区组织、医疗保健系统和学术机构组成的网络。
