SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Proposed Project
Supporting and Evaluating the Dissemination and Implementation of PCOR
To Improve Non-Surgical Treatment of Urinary Incontinence Among Women
in Primary Care
AHRQ's Improve Non-surgical Treatment of Urinary Incontinence Among
Women in Primary Care (INTUIT-PC) initiative, now named the Managing
Urinary Incontinence (MUI) initiative, addresses important gaps in
urinary incontinence (UI) care for women in the primary care setting.
As part of the MUI initiative, AHRQ is funding five cooperative
agreement (U18) grantees to develop primary care extension services to
disseminate and implement improved nonsurgical treatment of UI for
women--including screening, diagnosis, management, and specialty
referral--within primary care practices in separate regions of the
United States.
AHRQ is also conducting a project to support the MUI cooperative
agreements and evaluate the initiative, which includes:
<bullet> Support of the five U18 MUI cooperative agreements in the
form of a learning community, technical assistance, and other resources
to assist grantees to disseminate and implement patient centered
outcomes research (PCOR) for nonsurgical treatment of urinary
incontinence for women in primary care.
<bullet> A rigorous mixed methods process and outcome evaluation of
the grantees' dissemination and implementation strategies.
This evaluation is being conducted by AHRQ through its contractor,
RAND, pursuant to AHRQ's authority to carry out the PCOR dissemination
activities described in section 937 of the Public Health Service Act.
42 U.S.C. 299b-37.
Method of Collection
To achieve the goals of this multisite evaluation, AHRQ is
requesting OMB approval for three years of data collection by the
evaluator. The evaluator's primary data collection is requested to
achieve the goals of the multisite evaluation and includes the
following data collection activities:
(1) Focus groups with practice facilitators who are employed by the
MUI U18 grantees to provide direct technical assistance to primary care
practices.
(2) Semi-structured interviews with leaders and staff of primary
care practices participating in the MUI U18 studies.
Practice facilitator focus groups. Practice facilitators (also
known as practice coaches) perform a critical role in enabling primary
care practices to implement evidence-based improvements. The purpose of
the annual focus groups with practice facilitators is to gather their
insights on challenges assisting various types of primary care
practices, the resources needed to promote improvement in primary care
practices, and the effectiveness of different dissemination and
implementation strategies used by the MUI U18 studies. The evaluator
aims to conduct a virtual focus group with 8-10 practice facilitators
for each of the five U18 studies, for an expected total of 45 focus
group participants per year.
Practice leader/staff semi-structured interviews. The goal of the
MUI U18 studies is to disseminate and implement evidence-based UI
treatment for women within primary care practices. The purpose of the
semi-structured interviews with leaders and staff of primary care
practices is to collect data from the practices' perspective on the
barriers and facilitators to implementing evidence-based UI treatment
for women in primary care, as well as on the utility of the technical
assistance and resources provided to practices by the grant studies.
The evaluator aims to conduct 4-8 in-person individual interviews in
one practice per each U18 study (average of 1 interviews x on average 6
participants x 1 practice x 5 grants = 30 interviews), and 1 telephone
interview with 1-2 participants per interview for two additional
practices per each grant study (1 interview x on average 1.5
participants x 2 practices x 5 grants = 15 interviews), for an expected
total of 45 interview participants per year.
Estimated Annual Respondent Burden
Exhibit A.1a shows the estimated annualized burden hours for the
respondents' time to complete the Practice Facilitator Focus Groups and
Practice Leader/Staff Semi-Structured Interviews. For the three-year
clearance period, the estimated annualized burden hours for the
interviews are $2,190.50.
