About the trial
What the trial wants to find out
Women Veterans are the fastest growing segment of VA users, with most users in midlife. This dramatic growth has created challenges for VA to ensure that appropriate services are available to meet women Veterans' needs, and that they will want and be able to use those services. Furthermore, few VA improvement efforts have focused on women Veterans' health and health care in midlife. The EMPOWER QUERI 3.0 Program is a cluster randomized type 3 hybrid implementation-effectiveness trial testing two strategies designed to support implementation and sustainment of evidence-based practices for women Veterans in at least 18 VA facilities from 4 regions.
The 2 groups in the trial
- EBQI Booster (EBQI/B)Existing treatment, for comparison
A two-hour EBQI Booster delivered virtually to site-identified QI champions and local implementation teams for each EBP reviewing key EBQI components and providing examples grounded in the EBPs.
- EBQI Booster + External Facilitation (EBQI/B+EF)Treatment being tested
A two-hour EBQI Booster delivered virtually to site-identified QI champions and local implementation teams for each EBP reviewing key EBQI components and providing examples grounded in the EBPs, plus 12 months of external facilitation.
