TRIAD would like to introduce all health and research professionals to this “toolkit” section of the site. These tools were developed by assimilating materials created and utilized by TRIAD investigators since TRIAD began in 1998. The toolkit materials were designed by a multi-disciplinary group of junior and senior investigators across six translational research centers who partnered with 68 provider groups within 10 managed care health plans. We hope you find the toolkit items both informative and useful. Please feel free to download documents that meet your specific professional needs.
Study Participant Newsletters – were created and mailed to participants as a means of sharing important news, updates and progress about the study. The newsletters were sent to participants to help with recruitment and as a useful way to help retain contact with study participants. Our last newsletter, distributed in the Summer and Fall of 2008, provided past study participants with a summary of important TRIAD findings.
Study Instruments – were developed at different times during the study. They include several patient surveys, as well as clinician, health plan, and provider group questionnaires. Please click here to download and learn more about the instruments used, the information collected, and types of data sources used to help with the data analysis process. Some instruments are also available in Spanish.
Study Summary Slides – were developed for the purpose of presenting important study information, including a description of the original focus of study (TRIAD I), what investigators learned (findings from TRIAD I), a continuation of study research (TRIAD II), along with overall study achievements. The slides are organized from different presentations given by study investigators through the years. These slides are arranged chronologically to show how the study evolved over the past ten years.
Study “Fact Sheet” – has been produced to help further disseminate important study findings and other key facts about TRIAD. This fact sheet will be a condensed version of the study synthesis paper, which is almost finished and will soon be submitted for journal review and potential publication.
Study Synthesis Paper – has been written in an attempt to “synthesize” all of the major findings from TRIAD into one “super” paper.
