Best Practices for Integrating Health Equity into Embedded Pragmatic Clinical Trials for Dementia
The IMPACT Collaboratory’s leadership and Health Equity Team have worked with experts from across the Collaboratory to create a set of best practices related to integrating health equity into the design and conduct of embedded pragmatic clinical trials for people living with dementia and their care partners.
The guidance document includes a brief introduction, followed by best practices for six specific areas of concern including:
• Getting Started
• Community Partner Engagement
• Design and Analysis
• Intervention Design and Implementation
• Health Care System and Participant Selection
• Selecting Outcomes
Each of the focus areas includes best practices along with brief explanations for why these practices are important, and suggestions for their implementation.
In addition to the six separate focus area sheets, the document includes an extensive glossary of terms and key references for additional resources and key publications.
