To assess whether the routine collection of patient-contextual data improves patient
activation and communication, and can mitigate racial disparities in communication and
engagement, we are inviting patients who have upcoming appointments at the participating
health system to participate in a communication study. Patients will be randomized to having
guided (facilitated) enrollment in a tool that collects patient contextual data, or to usual
care. All patients are invited directly by the health system to use the tool. Statistical
methods will be used to determine the impact of the tool's use on outcomes of interest, as
well as the impact on completion by the use of the facilitated enrollment. The study will
particularly focus on assessing the impact of patient-contextual data and communication on
heath disparities.
