[Agency] AHRQ [Project Title] FUNCTIONAL RECOVERY IN LUMBAR SPINE SURGERY: INFLUENCE OF A BRIEF HEALTH BEHAVIOR [Institution] JOHNS HOPKINS UNIVERSITY [Amount] $0 [Summary] The current proposal seeks to investigate the impact of a brief Health Behavior Change Counseling (HBCC) on patient activation and post-operative health behavior and functional recovery. We plan to enroll two consecutive cohorts of individuals undergoing elective surgery for degenerative disease of the lumbar spine. The first cohort will undergo standard preoperative care. The second cohort will undergo standard pre-operative care with an additional brief HBBC intervention session (a patient-centered directive method for eliciting motivation to change behavior). Both groups will be following for 24 months post-operatively. [Completion/ Closing Date] 08/02/2010 [Link] link [Category]
