About this study
Although COPD self-management treatment programs are effective in reducing COPD-related hospitalizations and increasing quality of life, there is a limited understanding of 'how and why' they work. The proposed research will use an engineering-inspired study design to identify effective COPD self-management treatment components and guide its 'real world' implementation. The long-term goal of this line of research is to build an optimized COPD self-management program, and scale the program up to reduce the burden of COPD at a population health level.
The study's overall objective is to test component effects of COPD self-management treatment and select an optimized treatment program, while simultaneously gathering information on factors impacting implementation (i.e., Hybrid Type 1 Effectiveness-Implementation Study).1 The study design is guided by the Multiphase Optimization Strategy (MOST),2 an innovative, engineering-inspired methodological framework for intervention development that uses highly efficient randomized experimentation to assess the performance of treatment components on clinically-relevant outcomes, independently and in combination. The proposed research will achieve the following Specific Aims: Aim 1. Determine the main and interactive effects of three treatment components (i.e., self-management education, inhaler tr…
