Community-based Implementation of Adapted STAC for Blood Pressure in Pregnancy

This study is looking at how to best adapt and implement the Staying Healthy After Childbirth (STAC) program for Black women and birthing persons. STAC is an intervention that provides a home blood pressure monitor and access to a healthcare team to help manage high blood pressure (hypertension) after childbirth. The goal is to understand what helps and what makes it difficult to put this program into practice, and what changes are needed to make it work well for this community. This study is currently unclear on its recruitment status and plans to enroll 46 participants. Success will be measured by understanding the barriers, facilitators, and necessary adaptations to the STAC program.

Study design
This study is an interventional study with a planned enrollment of 46 participants. It is a qualitative investigation focused on understanding the implementation of an adapted intervention.
What's involved
If you are a patient, you would participate in interviews and surveys as part of PDSA cycles (Plan-Do-Study-Act, a method for improving processes). These cycles involve 3-5 patients each, for a total of 10 patients.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
The study will gather information on barriers and facilitators to implementation for up to 4 weeks, and adaptations to STAC for up to 8 weeks.

  • Qualitative Summary of Barriers to Implementation of A-STACup to 4 weeks

    Barriers to implementation of A-STAC in CBOs will be investigated via qualitative analysis of interviews and focus groups with STAC-CAB members. All feedback regarding barriers will be coded for themes summarized by participant count.

  • Qualitative Summary of Facilitators to Implementation of A-STACup to 4 weeks

    Facilitators to implementation of A-STAC in CBOs will be investigated via qualitative analysis of interviews and focus groups with STAC-CAB members. All feedback regarding facilitators will be coded for themes summarized by participant count.

  • Qualitative Summary of Adaptations to STACup to 8 weeks

    Adaptations to STAC will be analyzed from patient participant interviews and CBO staff participants post-PDSA cycles. Interviews will be coded for themes summarized by count.

  • The Acceptability of Intervention Measure (AIM)up to 8 weeks

    The Acceptability of Intervention Measure (AIM) measures intervention acceptability with 4 items ranked on a 5-point Likert-type scale from 1 = Completely Disagree to 5 = Completely Agree. Higher scores indicate higher acceptability.

  • The Intervention Appropriateness Measure (IAM)up to 8 weeks

    The Intervention Appropriateness Measure (IAM) measures intervention appropriateness with 4 items ranked on a 5-point Likert-type scale from 1 = Completely Disagree to 5 = Completely Agree. Higher scores indicate higher acceptability.

  • The Feasibility of Intervention Measure (FIM)up to 8 weeks

    The Feasibility of Intervention Measure (FIM) measures intervention feasibility with 4 items ranked on a 5-point Likert-type scale from 1 = Completely Disagree to 5 = Completely Agree. Higher scores indicate higher acceptability.
