Education Module for Spinal Cord Injury and Cardiometabolic Risk
This study is looking at whether educational materials can help people with spinal cord injuries (SCI) better understand and manage their risk for conditions like obesity and cardiometabolic syndrome (a group of risk factors that increase your chance of heart disease, stroke, and diabetes). You would receive education using either the PVA Consumer Guide or WebMD, three times over the study. Researchers will measure how much your knowledge about these health risks improves. You may be able to join if you are 18-70 years old, have a spinal cord injury, and completed your initial rehabilitation within the last four months. The current recruitment status is unclear, and the study plans to enroll 250 participants.
- Study design
- This is an interventional study, meaning participants will receive an intervention. It plans to enroll 250 participants.
- What's involved
- You would receive education sessions three times over the course of the study, each lasting about 10-15 minutes. Your knowledge will be tested at the beginning and up to 6 months later.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Your knowledge will be assessed at baseline and up to 6 months later.
