The Effect of Clinic Visit Audio Recordings for Self-management in Older Adults

{ "Clinic Visit Audio Recordings for Older Adults with Diabetes", "This study is looking at whether providing audio recordings of your doctor's visits can help older adults with diabetes and other health conditions manage their health better. You would be randomly assigned to either receive these audio recordings in addition to your usual After Visit Summaries (AVS), or to receive only the AVS. Researchers want to see if the audio recordings help you feel more involved in your care. The study is for people aged 65 and older who have diabetes and at least one other chronic condition like arthritis or heart disease. The study aims to enroll 336 participants, and the current status of recruitment is unclear.", "design": "This is an interventional study where 336 participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: one receiving audio recordings of clinic visits plus After Visit Summaries, and the other receiving only After Visit Summaries.", "commitments": "Participants will have all scheduled clinic visits recorded for 12 months if in the intervention group. Assessments will occur at baseline, 1 week, 6 months, and 12 months.", "compensation": "Not stated in the trial record.", "follow_up": "Participants will be assessed for patient activation at 12 months from enrollment.", }
