PI: Susan D. Goold, MD, MHSA, MA
Deliberative Engagement Community in Decisions about Research Spending (DECIDERS) study will develop and evaluate a mechanism to engage communities, particularly minority and underserved communities, in informed deliberations about health research spending priorities. (09/01/2011 - 08/31/2016)
PI: Masahito Jimbo, MD, PhD, MPH
DATES (Decision Aid to Technologically Enhance Shared Decision Making) is an interactive decision aid website for colorectal cancer, designed to be used prior to a clinic visit to clarify each patient's preferences and promote shared decision-making. The website uses a unique interactive Preference Elicitation Tool, which helps patients determine the colorectal cancer screening test option that best matches their preferences. (04/01/2011 - 03/31/2015)
It is critically important to develop effective technological tools for Veterans to improve their understanding of and capacity to be actively involved in shared decision making about key health issues. It is also critical to make sure both the patients’ and the clinicians’ decisions are informed decisions. (01/01/2011 - 09/30/2011)
Building Your New Normal tests two novel approaches to improve the quality of post-treatment follow-up for prostate cancer survivors: 1) IVR (interactive voice response)-administered EPIC and 2) tailored versions of Michigan Cancer Consortium (MCC) guidelines for patients and their primary care providers (10/01/2010 - 09/30/2011)

Approximately 40% of obese patients with breast cancer undergoing chemotherapy receive reduced doses of chemotherapy despite nearly two decades of evidence supporting full weight-based dosing. This project aims to share evidence that supports full dosing for obese breast cancer patients with physicians. (01/01/2010 - 12/31/2010)
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most prevalent cancer in the U.S. Dept. of Veteran Affairs (VA) and the second most costly cancer. This study aims to increase the number of VA patients who complete a CRC screening. It integrates an innovative and flexible preference elicitation methodology, conjoint analysis, into a decision tool to help VA patients clarify their preferences for characteristics of CRC screening tests. (07/01/2008 - 03/31/2012)
This study aims to increase the number of insured, primary care patients who complete a colorectal cancer (CRC) screening. This study integrates an innovative preference elicitation methodology, conjoint analysis, into a decision tool to help primary care patients clarify their preferences for CRC screening tests. The two sites participating in this study also allow for a more racially/ethnically diverse audience than other Decider Guider studies. (06/09/2008 - 04/30/2012)
The goal of this project is to develop a website for surgeons and oncologists treating breast cancer patients in the Detroit SEER (Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results) catchment area (Macomb, Oakland, and Wayne counties) that can be used to disseminate cancer surveillance research findings related to improving the quality of breast cancer care. (09/20/2007 - 08/31/2009)
There remains a compelling need for evidenced-based intervention models to assist primary care practitioners to treat their overweight pediatric patients. This project is an efficacy trial to test two potentially generalizable interventions that address many of the key barriers to obesity counseling in pediatric primary care. (04/01/2007 - 01/31/2013)
BMi2 is a DVD for pediatricians and dietitians that have completed a 2-day intensive motivational interviewing (MI) training session. The DVD is a take-home resource that offers additional practice in the core MI skills of reflective listening, building motivation, and eliciting change talk. In this DVD, the application of MI is used to help prevent and treat pediatric obesity, including nuances of working with parents of young children as well as working directly with older children. (02/01/2007 - 08/31/2008)
Procure tests the feasibility of using an electronic Quality of Life (QOL) survey to gather data from patients that is easily accessible and useable by health care providers in understanding more about their patients. The data gathered in this pilot study help support analyses comparing electronic to paper survey feasibility. (07/01/2006 - 06/30/2012)
This project builds on the original ColoWeb project, including updates to content and surveys, and delivering the intervention and surveys to 1,200 patients. (01/01/2002 - 09/30/2003)
This project aims to develop an oral health and tobacco cessation training and education module for primary care providers who provide health care at Voices of Detroit Initiative (VODI) clinic sites. The training and education module is available via CD-ROM to the providers. (10/01/2000 - 09/30/2001)
