Outline for the Presentation
n Overview of the Diabetes Initiative evaluation
n Development of the RSSM instrument
n Findings l Scores on RSSM scales l Relationship between RSSM and health behaviors
n Implications for future research
4
RTI’s Evaluation of the Diabetes Initiative
n Site Visits—inperson visits to 14 sites
n Longitudinal crosssite survey l Program participation, RSSM, health behaviors (smoking, diet and nutrition, physical activity, medical management), other measures
n Examination of enrollment and clinical data l Enrollment/disenrollment l Clinical measures (HbA1c, blood pressure, cholesterol)
6
Development of the RSSM Instrument
n Maintained an ecological perspective and chronic care focus
n Reviewed existing instruments
n Tailored existing items, drafted new items
n Conducted two rounds of cognitive testing
n Gained input from NPO, RWJF, Advisory Panel
7
Patient Assessment of Chronic Illness Care (PACIC)
n 26item survey that provides a patient perspective on receipt of CCMrelated chronic illness care
n PACIC subscales: l Patient activation l Delivery system/practice design l Goal setting/tailoring l Problem solving/contextual l Followup/coordination
8
RSSM Subscales
n Collaborative goal setting
n Individualized assessment
n Quality of care/communication
n Learning skills
n Followup and support
9
CrossSite Surveys
n Wave 1 (Winter/Spring 2005) l N = 720 completes l Response rate = 70%
n Wave 2 (Winter 2006) l N = 957 of which ~1/2 were also in Wave 1
l Response rate = 68%
10
Sample Characteristics: Wave 1
n Mean age = 56 years
n 70% female
n 54% were of Hispanic, Latino, or Spanish origin
n 45% of the sample had less than a high school education
n 49% reported their health status as fair or poor
n Mean of 10 years with diabetes
11
Psychometric Properties of RSSM Scale
n Mean RSSM score = 3.95 (SD = 0.85)
n Overall alpha = 0.90
n Confirmatory factor analysis—5 factors l Scale correlations ranged from 0.42–0.74
n Alphas for subscales ranged from 0.70 to 0.84
n Subscales correlated with Hibbard’s Patient Activation scale (subset of items)

Model Results
n The following groups reported significantly higher RSSM scores: l Hispanic origin l Having a personal doctor l “A lot” of selfreported knowledge of diabetes (vs. “nothing/a little”)
l More frequently talking to someone about feelings about having diabetes
l Higher patient activation l Higher fatalism l Never (vs. rarely) have difficulty understanding diabetes information

Model results (cont.)
n The following groups reported significantly lower RSSM scores: l Older age l Other race (vs. white) l Income of $30,000$49,999 (vs. <$10,000)
21
Conclusions
n A promising new instrument with good psychometric properties
n Potential for broader application to other chronic diseases
n Could be tailored to primary care issues
n Consider expanding instrument to include other domains
22
Next Steps for Analysis
n Finalize wave 1 results
n Analyze wave 2 data
n Analyses using wave 1 and wave 2 cohort
n Merge on clinical data
