Randomize Everyone: Creating Valid Instrumental Variables for Learning Health Care Systems
Randomize Everyone: Creating Valid Instrumental Variables for Learning Health Care Systems
Randomize Everyone is a research project to develop new informatics systems and statistical methods for supporting randomization processes in EHR systems to do comparative effectiveness research. Two demonstration projects are being conducted in the Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center, designed to evaluate different weight loss interventions and common practices in the treatment of chronic low back pain.
EHR Embedded Comparative Effectiveness Studies-WWC will be held in the Weight and Wellness Clinics at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center. This study consists of randomizing enrollees to either the dietitian/health coach appointment sequence or the health coach/dietitian appointment sequence.
Inclusion Criteria: Adults (>18) able to consent, with sufficient fluency in English; Initial RD and HC visits are part of routine care as recommended by the provider; willing to be randomized
