Primary care-based interventions for those with multiple long-term health conditions: Taking health literacy into account: A Delphi study
Sam Monk, from Keele University would like to invite you to take part in their study:
I am currently undertaking a PhD (with Keele university and funded by the NIHR) aiming to identify potential components for a primary care-based intervention for supporting people living with multiple long-term health conditions in the context of varying levels of patient health literacy.
The study will contribute to the evidence base and support improvements in content and delivery of care and training of health care professionals.
To develop these improvements, I would like to invite you to take part in an Online Modified Delphi study aimed at:
• Gaining healthcare professional consensus on which components should be included into an intervention for better supporting management of multiple long term health conditions (MLTCs) in primary care within the context of varying public health literacy.
To take part you would need to be a UK healthcare professional aged 18 and over who provides self-management support to those with MLTCs in primary care and/or whose healthcare services engage those with low health literacy. Or health literacy experts aged 18 and over.
Participants will be required to take part in three (or less) rounds of anonymous online surveys within a two-month period. Each round will last approximately 15-20 minutes. Within the surveys you will be provided with a list of statements and asked to rank how strongly you feel the component should be included into an intervention for better supporting management of multiple long term health conditions (MLTCs) in primary care within the context of varying public health literacy.
Participation in the study is voluntary, and it is your choice whether or not you would like to take part in it. If you are interested in taking part in this Delphi study please email myself s.monk@keele.ac.uk from a professional organisation/work email address.
