South, Room 734 Birmingham, AL 35205 1) Project ai ms Endow is a multicenter,
collaborative project with the following specific aims: A) to examine the
factors that influence women’s choices and how women approach decisions
regarding hysterectomy, oophorectomy and postmenopausal hormone replacement
therapy (HRT), with special emphasis on exploring the potential roles of
cultural identity and ethnicity, B) to develop materials and dissemination
strategies to enhance women’s decision-making regarding hysterectomy, oophorectomy
and HRT, and C) to evaluate developed interventions in communities. 2)
Methodology The project is a 5-year multicenter study to be conducted in
three phases: Phase I - to examine with qualitative and quantitative data
the factors that influence women’s choices and how women approach decisions
regarding hysterectomy, oophorectomy and postmenopausal hormone replacement
therapy (HRT), with special emphasis on exploring the potential roles of
cultural identity and ethnicity; Phase II - to use the information from
Phase I in development of interventions to enhance women’s decision-making
regarding hysterectomy, oophorectomy and HRT, and to develop dissemination
strategies for these materials; Phase III - to evaluate intervention materials
and dissemination strategies. 3) Progress Phase I activities: C Developed
collaborative structure, including a steering committee and relevant subcommittees
(publications, qualitative, survey development, data management and intervention
development). C Developed focus group guides for common qualitative data
collection across centers. C Conducted 78 focus groups with 485 women,
32% African-American, 32% Hispanic/Mexican-American, 23% nonHispanic white,
12% Native American and 1% other or unknown, as well as individual interviews
and focus groups with men and providers in some sites. C Analyzed and used
focus group data to inform development of a survey including core items
common to all participating sites, as well as items spe cific to one or
more sites, given the unique characteristics of the different populations.
Core data include: sociodemographics, reproductive history and intentions,
menopausal status and attitudes, satisfaction with and access to medical
care, hysterectomy outcome expectations and normative beliefs, HRT outcome
expectations and normative beliefs, autonomy preference index, and assessment
of overall health status. C Developed sampling strategies and common training
protocols for core data collection. The centers planned for community and
clinic- or hospital-based recruitment of women, with some centers planning
for a sample of male partners. C Developed English, Spanish, and Navajo
language versions of the survey. C Conducted pretesting and test/retest
surveys. C Implemented survey in the field. C Developed in implemented
data management and analysis procedures for common dataset ENDOW Survey

C Began exploration of intervention materials and dissemination strategies
to be used, considering the unique needs of the different population groups
represented. Materials considered include video tapes, pamphlets, community-based
educational and support group programs, and possibly computer-based technologies
(e.g., CD-ROM) Obtained supplementary funding for video tape development,
and awarded subcontract for development activities with outstanding health
education media group. 4) Future plans and time line. Future plans include
completion of the survey data activities, analysis and reporting of survey
results, further development of interventions and dissemination strategies,
and evaluation. Time line: Year 1 (1995-1996) C Establish collaboration,
design and implement focus group data collection, begin focus group data
analysis Year 2 (1996-1997 ) C Continue focus group data analyses, design
and implement survey, begin planning for intervention development Year
3 (1997-1998) C Complete survey data collection, conduct analyses of survey
data, continue intervention and dissemination plan development Year 4 (1998-1999)
C Continue analyses of survey data, complete intervention and dissemination
plan development Year 5 (1999-2000) C Evaluate interventions and dissemination
plans 5) Contribution to prevention in minority women ENDOW will develop
interventions to facilitate more informed health care decision-making regarding
choices faced by many women: decisions surrounding hysterectomy and HRT.
In addition, we will collect important information on the decision-making
preferences and communication skills of diverse groups of women which will
likely prove generalizable to other aspects of women’s health care. Cindy
International silver CINDY award winner Title of Entry: Hysterectomy: The
Decision is Yours Written and Produced by: Hall & Foushee Communications,
Inc Minneapolis, MN CINDY, an acronym for "Cinema in Industry," began in
1959 as an industrial film competition. It was originally created by the
Industry Film Producers Association (IFPA), an American professional organization.
Later, this group became the Informational Film Producers of America and,
in 1984, the Association of Visual Communicators (AVC). Today the twice-a-year
CINDY Awards are proudly presented by the International Association of
Audio Visual Communicators (IAAVC), a non-profit group representing theatrical,
broadcast, non-broadcast, and interactive media professionals throughout
the world. As the market for industrial films has evolved into video and
other media formats over the years, CINDY has changed dramatically. Interactive
media was added in 1985, making CINDY the first interactive media competition
in the world. Today CINDY cntinues to honor the informational media producer
but has expanded to embrace all production professionals. The International
Cinema in Industry (CINDY) award has developed into the premier international
audio-visual competition for both linear and interactive media. Out of
nearly 3400 entries in the Spring 2000 Edition of the 42nd annual cinema
in industry competitions, our award winning entry placed in the top 15%
of all programming entered. This year, CINDY entries included web sites,
CD-Roms, audio tapes and video tapes came from 28 countries world wide.
A host of formats are represented in the competition, including film, video,
audio, multi-image, and interactive multimedia. Preliminary panels view
all entered productions and advance the top scoring entries to Blue Ribbon
panels which decide final awards. Productions advancing to Blue Ribbon
panels will receive an award. The purpose of this 15-minute video, entitled
Hysterectomy: the Decision is Yours, is to educate women in effective ways
of communicating with their health care providers about hysterectomy, and
to teach decision making skills that women can use in making decisions
about these surgeries. The target audience is women who have been told
that they may need a hysterectomy or who have conditions for which hysterectomy

VERIFICATION SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS As part of the ENDOW manuscript approval
process, the Coordinating Center reviews and verifies the findings presented
in each paper to ensure consistency and accuracy in ENDOW publications.
The purpose of this memorandum is to inform you of the verification process.
If the person who performs the statistical analyses is not you, the first
author, please share this memo with that person as it contains information
that may influence the analysis process as well as the preparation of the
verification materials. Verification Process Overview After the Coordinating
Center has received a complete set of materials from you (see details below),
we use the current version of the distributed data to confirm that the
data set used for analyses was created correctly. Elements we evaluate
include the merging of the component data sets, exclusions of participants
from the analyses, definitions of new variables, and proper handling of
missing values. We also compare the data set creation programs to the text
of the manuscript to ensure the manuscript accurately describes the basis
of the analyses. Once the data set is verified, we reproduce the analyses
performed. As part of this step, we confirm all values reported in tables,
figures, and text. In additi on to confirming specific numeric values,
we review the description of analyses performed and results obtained, including
findings that are discussed but for which values are not reported. When
we have completed the verification of your manuscript, we will notify you
in writing of any discrepancies between your reported findings and our
analyses. Step 1: Instructions for Data Set Verification a. Data Set Verification
Prior to Analyses Many of the problems encountered during verifications
involve the data set rather than the analyses. Hence, you may handle your
verification using two steps: (1) a data set verification prior to analyses
and (2) a manuscript verification. After creating your data set (merging
component data, making exclusions, and creating all necessary variables)
but before performing your analyses, you may have the Coordinating Center
verify your data set. The following materials should be submitted for the
verification: 1. By e-mail as text file attachment or on MS-DOS formatted
diskette(s), labeled with first author and ENDOW paper number: a. All programs
used for data set creation, thoroughly documented. This includes programs
that make exclusions and create new variables; b. A text file that lists
and describes all files included with the e-mail or on the diskette; and
2. A draft of the Methods section, including a description of exclusions
and created variables. If the draft does not explicitly state how missing
and "Don’t Know" responses are handled for variables, also include a description
of those decisions. 3. The name, telephone number, and e-mail address (if
available) of the first author and the programmer. A checklist of these
items is attached to this memo to facilitate your submission. Our experience
is that many of the problems with verifications occur during this stage.
Thus, early verification of the data set can eliminate the need to rerun
analyses. Our intention is to make this a fast process that will ultimately
lead to quick turnaround on final verificatio n. While most analyses of
ENDOW data will be done on SAS and result in programs to be used in SAS,
other analysis package may be used. Instructions regarding non-SAS analyses
can be found on page 3. b. Data Set Verification as part of Manuscript
Verification If you choose to wait until your manuscript is completed to
have the data set verified, please follow the instructions outlined below.
Step 2: Instructions for Manuscript Verification When your manuscript is
complete but prior to submission to a journal, you should submit the following
materials to the Coordinating Center: 1. By e-mail as text attachment or
on MS-DOS formatted diskette(s), labeled with first author and ENDOW paper
number: a. All programs used for data set creation, thoroughly documented.
This includes programs that make exclusions and create new variables; b.
All programs used for analyses, thoroughly documented. This includes analyses
that are discussed in text only; and c. A text file that lists and describes
all files on the diskette. 2. The manuscript, including all tables, figures,
and appendices, annotated with program names for discussed analysis. In
addition, please write on each figure the values used to create the figure
or attach a page that clearly lists the values (e.g., a spreadsheet). 3.
A complete description of any analyses conducted by hand, including reference
if possible. 4. The name, telephone number, and e-mail address (if available)
of the first author and the programmer. 5. The verification checklist,
signed and dated by you indicating that the packet is complete and ready
for submission. Please note that, even if you have already had your data
set verified, it is necessary to submit all programs again in case any
changes were made to the data set during the analysis phase. Analysis Using
Programs Other that SAS While ENDOW data are distributed for use with SAS,
other software packages are sometimes used to perform part or all of the
analyses for a manuscript. When this is the case, program code may not
be sufficient to allow us to duplicate your analyses. Please include the
following: 1. All documentation to describe how the data set was created
(particularly important when the software is interactive). Please include
information about how missing and "Don’t Know" responses were handled.
2. A text file containing a list of all ENDOW variables used in the analyses,
using the actual SAS variables names from the distributed data. 3. A text
file containing names and formulae for all created variables, including
formats, reformats, and recodes. Again, please use the actual SAS variable
names from the distributed data when noting these details. 4. A text file
containing exclusions in terms of the SAS variable names from the distributed
data. 5. All programs used for analyses. If the package does not generate
programs for analyses, text files containing code-like statements that
correspond to the analyses done and using ENDOW variable names. 6. For
calculations done in spreadsheets, please provide us with the formulate
used for the calculations. Analyses Using Non-Core Data Manuscripts using
data not distributed as part of the core data set need to be verified if
two or more centers are used. If data from only one center are used, it
is suggested that the manuscript be verified but not required. If the center-specific
are not already on file at the Coordinating Center, you should provide
these data along with the other verification materials. Other Useful Information
Authors are encouraged to call or e-mail the Coordinating Center at any
time to discuss issues or questions regarding data set creation. While
the documentation distributed with the data is intended to be complete,
questions often arise. An important check you should perform is to make
sure that the programs you plan to submit do in fact run. Sometimes programs
submitted to us have been cut and pasted from larger programs and do not
run on their own. Verifications are assigned to various Coordinating Center
st aff depending upon their current task load. After we receive all necessary
materials, it will take approximately three weeks for us to complete your
verification. This time line is extended if we require further information
from you. The verifications staff at the Coordinating Center vary in their
experience, but all have had graduate training in statistics. Thus, we
may include suggestions and/or comments in the completed verification that
we think may help clarify your analyses and make your manuscript stronger.
Attached Materials Attached to this memo are some additional materials
we hope you will find useful. First, we have summarized the materials needed
for verifications in a checklist. Please use this checklist when preparing
the packet you will send to us and sign and date it once you are sure the
packet is complete. When you are ready to send the packet, please carefully
package the diskette(s) and mail the packet to Eva Chirapongse at the Coordinating
Center: ENDOW Coordinating Center 1717 11th Avenue South, Suite 505 Birmingham,
AL 35205 (205) 934-0786 echirapongse@dopm.uab.edu Second, we have included
some sample SAS programs complete with the type of documentation we would
like to have in programs you submit. Finally, we have included a couple
of example manuscript pages illustrating the type of annotation we need.
If you have any questions regarding the verification process or this memorandum,
please contact the Coordinating Center at (205) 934-0786. ENDOW DATA SET

University of Alabama at Birmingham, Adrianna Linares, MD, University of
Texas - Houston, Carla Herman, MD, University of New Mexico, Donna Richter,
DrPH, and Robert McKeown, PhD, University of South Carolina The minutes
from the December 3, 1999 steering conference call minutes were approved
without corrections. CDC Report: Dr. Folger reported the CDC, Office of
Women’s Health has requested her to prepare an ENDOW study progress report.
Dr. Folger will report on the following ENDOW year 4 accomplishments and
plans for year 5: 1) The Journal of Women’s Health special issue will be
published within the next few months. 2) The ENDOW survey was completed.
3) A Survey analysis file was created and data analysis is now progress,
with some data analysis presented at the APHA meeting. 4) Video tapes and
brochures in both English and Spanish have been developed; and 5) Plans
for the final year of the study are to create additional intervention education
materials, evaluate intervention materials, and dissemination strategies,
and continue analysis of survey data. Dr. Lewis suggested Dr. Folger include
the published study data manuscripts and presentations in her report which
are located on the public website. February 1, 2000 NIH update – Dr. Finnegan:
Dr. Lewis reported that she has the year 2 focus group numbers and ethnicity
breakdowns. Dr. McCreath will provide the completed survey numbers, but
each PI should forward the numbers and ethnic breakdown of the additional
year 4 focus groups and interviews completed during intervention development.
Dr. Herman will forward to the CC a copy of the New Mexico Outreach and
Education Report in terms of numbers, but it does not breakdown ethnicity.
Dr. Herman suggested using 50% Navajo and 50% Anglo. Dr. McKeown will forward
to the CC South Carolina numbers for male and provider interviews. Dr.
Williams suggested presenting manuscript development and completion information.
Dr. Lewis ask each PI to review ENDOW public website to make sure that
all published data either by manuscript or presentation has been reported
correct ly. Please forward any corrections to Trena. Publication activities:
Journal of Women's Health issue: Dr. Richter reported that she has received
page proofs and galley sheets for the Journal of Women’s Health special
addition to be published in February 2000. Since the deadline for publication
is so tight, Dr. Richter will proof all articles and return to the journal.
The steering committee agreed. PRC meeting: Dr. Lewis reported that both
ENDOW abstracts entitled "Hysterectomy in a multiethnic sample of women:
the ENDOW Study" and "The Use of Qualitative Data in the Development of
an Intervention Tool: the ENDOW Project" were accepted as oral presentations
on Wednesday, February 2, 2000 in different meeting sessions. Trena will
update the public website to reflect Dr. Lewis’s presentation entitled
"Hysterectomy in a multiethnic sample of women: the ENDOW Study" and Dr.
Richter’s presentation "The Use of Qualitative Data in the Development
of an Intervention Tool: the ENDOW Project" at the PRC meeting, February
2, 2000. The ENDOW steering committee meeting will be Tuesday, February
1, 2000, 8:00 am -12: 00 PM. APHA presentation deadline: The APHA abstract
deadlines are February 1-3, 2000. The Women’s Caucus deadline is February
1, 2000. The Epidemiology section is February 2, 2000. Dr. Richter will
submit her abstract entitled "The Use of Qualitative Data in the Development
of an Intervention Tool: the ENDOW Project" to the APHA. Trena will add
the abstract entitled "The Use of Qualitative Data in the Development of
an Intervention Tool: the ENDOW Project" submitted to the APHA to the publication
grids on the public website as pending. Data management activities: Open-ended
coding: Dr. McCreath reported that her hard drive crashed and she has been
recreating the open-ended coding. Original coders should expect to receive
spreadsheets from the CC sometime within the next week, with turnaround
by the middle of January 2000 if possible. Dr. McCreath reported that Ms.
Altobelli raised another question conce rning Texas HRT questions. Dr.
McCreath will contact Dr. Linares for clarification before forwarding revised
spreadsheets to original coders. Dr. McKeown reported that M. Harris, the
South Carolina doctoral student who is working on her dissertation using
ENDOW data, has found areas where she believes that information is missing.
Dr. McKeown asked Ms. Harris to compile a list of problem areas before
forwarding to the CC for clarification. Dr. McCreath stated that after
Ms. Harris's list is received at the CC, a data management committee conference
call might be needed should the questions requiring consideration by the
committee. Intervention activities: Video: Both the English and Spanish
videos have been forwarded for closed captioning. Please forward any comments
regarding the English version of closed captioning to Trena. The Spanish
will follow after comments from the English are received. Brochures: Brochures
are ready for printing; however, the purchase order must be revised due
to the Spanish version costing more. Both the video and brochures should
be ready for distribution at the PRC meeting in February. Closed captioning:
Hall & Foushee stated that the closed-captioning people would keep
the ideas but reduce the number of words. T-shirts: A mockup has been received,
but suggestions were made by the printers to make the shirts appear less
plain. The suggestion was made to put the same saying on the back with
the logos. The front would have the wording " The decision is mine" and
"la decision is mine" and the back would have the same wording with the
logos in the middle. ENDOW in the middle of the 3 angel logo will be removed.
Trena will fax the mockup to each PI for review and comments should be
sent to Trena. The next intervention conference call will be Thursday,
January 20, 2000 @ 12:00 CST. Intervention site reports: South Carolina:
Dr. Richter reported that intervention development is in process, but the
number of community sessions has been cut to 3. Collaboration between Alabama
and South Carolina is in progress in order to develop same content interventions.
Dr. McKeown reported a new person has been brought on board to help with
the evaluation. Alabama: Dr. Cornell reported that Ms. Littleton email
an updated intervention development draft, reflecting content developed
between what South Carolina, Alabama and Texas has developed. The evaluation
stage is less well developed, but this is normal since content has to be
developed first. A total of 5 CHA sessions in the community will be done.
Texas: Dr. Linares reported that Texas has been meeting with a post-doctoral
student who is going to do her dissertation on the ENDOW project using
community health care workers at two different sites. Dr. Linares reported
that intervention-mapping plans have begun on both the dissertation and
study evaluation plans. Dr. Linares reported that Dr. Groff is developing
a decision-making balance sheet. New Mexico: Dr. Herman reported that Ms.
Bawaya has been on vacation, slowing their progress. However, Dr. Herman
reported that New Mexico would be very interested in the CHA training materials
to use with lay health advisors in Gallup. Dr. Herman will bring samples
of developed materials, which are being used, in Gallup to the February
meeting. Each site should bring drafts of intervention evaluation materials
to the February meeting for review. Future conference calls and meetings:
The next face-to-face steering committee meeting will be Tuesday, February
1, 2000 in Atlanta, GA, 8:00am - 12:00 noon. The agenda will focus on intervention
materials and evaluation tools with updates on data. The next ENDOW presentation
will be in the Tuesday, February 1, 2000 12:00 noon - 5:00 PM at the NIH
up-date with Dr. Finnegan. Dr. Lewis and Dr. Richter will present ENDOW
abstracts on Wednesday, February 2, 2000, 10:30 am - 12:00 noon scientific
sessions. The Community Prevention Research in Women's Health Conference

M000201 ENDOW Steering Committee Meeting, February 1, 2000, Atlanta, GA
Attendees: Suzanne Folger, PhD, CDC, Beth Lewis, MD, Dale Williams, PhD,
Carol Cornell, PhD, LeaVonne Pulley, PhD, MaryAnn Littleton, Trena Johnsey,
University of Alabama at Birmingham, Jan Groff, MD, Patricia Dolan-Mullen,
DrPH, and Adrianna Linares, MD, University of Texas - Houston, Carla Herman,
MD and Ina Bawaya, University of New Mexico, Molly Greany, Donna Richter,
DrPH, and Robert McKeown, PhD, University of South Carolina The minutes
from the January 7, 2000 steering conference call minutes were approved
without corrections. CDC Report: Dr. Folger reported the Office of Women's
Health requested an update in order to be able to compile an informational
research packet to show what types of research are currently funded through
the Office of Women's Health. The following was supplied: ENDOW - Ethnicity,
Needs, and Decisions of Women ENDOW is a 5-year multi-center study with
study sites at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (Field Center and
Coordinating Center), University of New M exico, University of South Carolina,
and University of Texas at Houston. ENDOW is a multi-cultural study with
African-American, Hispanic, American Indian, and non-Hispanic white participants.
The research goals of ENDOW are: 1) to explore ethnic, geographic, and
cultural/acculturation variations in attitudes and decision making concerning
hysterectomy, oophorectomy, and use of hormone replacement therapy (HRT),
and 2) to develop community-based intervention materials appropriate for
different sociocultural groups that will enhance women's decision making.
The study is being conducted in three phases. During Phase I, data were
collected through focus groups and an interviewer-administered survey to
characterize the populations and to identify factors that may be relevant
to the research goals. These data were utilized in Phase II to guide development
of community-based intervention materials and to plan dissemination strategies.
The primary aim of Phase III of the project is to evaluate the interventions
and dissemination strategies. Additional analyses of the qualitative and
quantitative data collected during the study are also planned. Notable
are two recent accomplishments that highlight ENDOW and demonstrate the
level of interest in the scientific community. First, results of analyses
of qualitative data from ENDOW will be published in early 2000 in a special
issue of the Journal of Women's Health & Gender-Based Medicine. Second,
a series of ENDOW papers focusing on initial results of quantitative survey
data were presented in a special interest epidemiology section at the 1999
annual meeting of the American Public Health Association. Some of the results
presented included the following: a) ethnic differences were found in most
pre-operative conditions (preceding hysterectomy), but hysterectomy prevalence
did not differ across ethnic groups; b) the extent to which participants
viewed menopause as a medical condition (as opposed to a natural process)
and preference for HRT varied somewhat by ethnicity; c) HRT usage and the
extent to which participants understood the risks and benefits of HRT varied
by ethnic group and education level; d) participants of all ethnic groups
expressed a strong desire for medical information and were interested in
being involved in medical decision making. Dr. Folger also supplied another
requested report: Cultural Differences in Health Practices: Menopause and
choices about hysterectomy and/or hormone replacement therapy will be faced
by most women in mid-life. Some studies have found differences between
ethnic/racial groups in the age at which a hysterectomy is performed, predisposing
conditions and diagnoses, the likelihood of complications, and length of
hospitalization following surgery. Together with the NIH Office of Women's
Health, CDC is supporting studies to examine how women of different ethnic
groups approach decisions about hysterectomy and about HRT use, and to
develop community-based interventions to facilitate such decision-making.
The steering committee approved the updates with minor corrections. Third
paragraph add decision-making communication, HRT - hysterectomy, and menopause.
Data management activities: Dr. Williams reported that Dr. McCreath is
continuing to make progress on all the open-ended coding issues. Dr. Williams
will check with Dr. McCreath on the HRT questions regarding the Texas data.
Dr. Herman reported that the New Mexico paper regarding HRT is on hold
until the Texas data questions are resolved. Dr. Williams reported that
Dr. McCreath is still working with Dr. McKeown's group on the issue of
missing data. The CC found that most of the data is missing, by design
and was not collected on the survey. Intervention activities: Video: The
English video is complete and the Spanish video has been returned to Hall
& Foushee for minor corrections. It will be re-forward on Friday, February
4, 2000. Brochures: The brochures are complete and have been shipped to
each site T-shirts: The T-shirts have been sent to the printers and will
be shipped wi thin the next month. Website: The steering committee agreed
that a counter should be added to the website. Intervention site reports:
South Carolina: Dr. Richter reported that intervention development is in
process and will begin around April 1, 2000. Four Community leaders (2
African-American and 2 white) will do the community workshops, 2 Healthcare
professionals (1 African-American and 1 white) will be used. A total of
8 workshops (4 African-American and 4 White) will be held. Each workshop
will be conducted by a team that is race matched consisting of 1 healthcare
professional and 2 community leaders. The pretest will be done on both
groups. Everyone will get the intervention. The post-test will be done
on both groups The workshop content will be on HRT-Hysterectomy, Menopause
and Decision-making communication. Physical activity will be woven into
all sessions. All trainers will be paid and training will last for about
1 day. The community sessions will be free and all materials will be free
to participants. New Mexico: Dr. Herman reported that the women are responding
well to all interventions in the Gallop area. These classes have been going
on for about 1 1/2 years now. The women that are being reached are not
interested in any class that is labeled menopause; however, if they attend
a class and menopause is mentioned that is ok. The concept that going through
menopause is an honor because you reach a new high as an elder is not really
practiced now by the Navajo. A community advisory board has been established
and is very committed to reaching and informing women. The class topics
are based on what the women ask for such as weight loss, and financial
management, etc. A mailing list of about 2500 women has been compiled and
is rotated on a monthly basis with 500 each month. Dr. Herman reported
that the New Mexico group would be participating in a Health fair this
Spring using the ENDOW video and brochures. Dr. Herman reported that they
are trying to negogiate with the hospital to take on the Gallop extention
office as a project to fund past the upcoming year. Dr. Herman reported
that she has been working on a CD Rom on decision-making around HRT in
both Spanish and English with information on exercise, diet, and lifestyle
modification. It would be available in October 2000. Dr. Herman will forward
all sites a copy of the CD Rom. Texas: Dr. Groff reported that Texas will
conduct a one time community session lasting about 1 1/2 hours. It is entitled:
"Working together with your doctor" and covers communicating and decision-making.
They hope to evaluate the effectiveness of this intervention in changing
women's communication. Using naturally occurring groups of women from churches
within two communities, one strongly African-American and the other Hispanic
will be used. Each group will be conducted by a community health advisor
who is trained by study staff. Each advisor will be given a notebook consisting
of a video and other materials including national and local brochures.
The community health advisor training will begin sometime in March/April.
Each participant will receive $20.00 and a T-shirt for participation. A
total of 180 women will be done, 90 from the naturally occurring community
setting and 90 from the 2 primary clinics at UT. The 90 women in the clinic
setting will have a pretest/post test using a notebook that is taken home
by the participant including a video and other brochures and then each
participant will be contacted for follow-up by phone in 2 weeks. Alabama:
Dr. Cornell reported that Alabama is using a training program consisting
of 5 facilitated peer discussion group sessions in the West Jefferson community.
A total of 20-40 women will be recruited for this training program to be
conducted by trained facilitators/moderators over a 5-month period. At
each of the 5 monthly sessions each approximately 2 hours in duration,
food will be provided. During each monthly session, participants will be
asked to express their opinions, reveal their perceptions of session topics
and complete que stionnaires at the beginning and end of the session to
help determine how effective the session is in conveying information. At
the first session, women participating in this training program will be
asked the following question. "How many sessions do you feel you must attend
in order to complete the training program?" Study investigators feel that
women will probably agree that attending 4 out of 5 group training sessions
constitutes program completion. At the completion of the training program
each woman will be given a certificate of completion and a T-shirt. Handouts
will be distributed at each session. Alabama, Texas and South Carolina
are continuing to work together to develop core intervention materials
A face-to-face meeting for the intervention committee will be set on the
upcoming intervention conference call on Thursday, February 17, 200 @ 10:00
CST. Trena will check with Dr. McCreath to see if she can be on the call.
Publications: Dr. Richter reported that the ENDOW articles will be published
in the Journal of Women's Health & Gender-Based Medicine in February.
Dr. Lewis asked everyone to go to the ENDOW website and make corrections
on the publication lists. Future conference calls and meetings: The next
steering committee call will be March 6, 2000 @ 11:00 CST. May 23-24, 2000
ENDOW steering committee meeting will be in Santa Fe, NM. Each site should
let Trena know who is attending so that reservations can be made. A Meeting
to prepare for the Community Prevention Research in Women’s Health Conference
will be held in Charleston, SC, and September 18-19, 2000. Dr. Richter
will explore hotel availability and forward information to Trena. The Community
Prevention Research in Women's Health Conference is October 26-27, 2000
in the Washington DC area at the NIH Mazur Auditorium. A preliminary program
will be presented at the NIH up-date with Dr. Finnegan in Atlanta. The
ENDOW session will be on, October 27, 2000 and the moderator will be Dr.
Susan Hendrix who is the PI of the WHI Detroit sit e. Dr. Hendrix is a
gynecologist who is active in the menopause society. There is a new women’s
health journal debuting in Fall 2000, which Dr. Hendrix will be editing
and she asked if the ENDOW project would be interested in submitting to
the journal as well as other projects involved with the conference. An
abstract competition will be held for poster presenters at the conference.

without corrections. Publication Activities: Dr. Lewis reported that the
Journal of Women's Health and Gender Based Medicine special issue is out.
Copies should be delivered to each site within the next couple of weeks.
Dr. Lewis reported that the submitted UAB site-specific abstract to the
First International Conference on Women, Heart Disease and Stroke was accepted
as a poster presentation. Dr. Lewis asked everyone to go to the ENDOW website
and make corrections on the publication lists. Data management activities:
Dr. McCreath reported that two new analysts have been hired in the CC for
Year 5. Dr. McCreath reported that Darlene is doing the double check on
the Texas HRT data. The CC will make sure that the variable corresponds
correctly and report any differences to the committee via email. Dr. McCreath
reported that she has been working on the second time around open-ended
coding. She has been applying the steering committee decisions regarding
coding made at the October meeting, and re-coding responses that were combined
or split. After completion, Dr. McCreath will re-distribute the coding
to the original coders for approval; if no changes occur it will be included
in the data set. Dr. McCreath questioned Dr. Pulley about the missing data
including the religiosity data requested by Dr. McKeown's student. Dr.
Pulley reported that she has hired a new staff person who is PhD trained
and very good with computers who is working on this issue now and should
be able to distribute that information within the next two weeks. Dr. McCreath
reported that the CC staff will be available to do analysis for all sites
during Year 5. Intervention activities: Video: The English and Spanish
videos are complete and have been distributed to each site. Brochures:
The English and Spanish brochures are complete and have been distributed
to each site. T-shirts: The T-shirts have been distributed to each site.
Website: The steering committee agreed that a counter should be added to
the website. Intervention site reports: Dr. Pulley reported that the intervention
committee had a conference call on March 7, 2000. The committee discussed
the knowledge questions, determining which ones were stronger than others.
The committee discussed whether knowledge questions should be included
at all. The committee decided demographic variables to be used in common
and those to be site specific. The committee discussed the items that could
be core given that the interventions are so different. The committee discussed
in detail what each site is interested in retaining. Texas will use a one-session
format. Alabama will conduct a five session format and is interested in
gathering data that can be used to inform later sessions. The intervention
committee decided that core questions need to be very short and that each
site can add the time as needed for their site-specific. Face-to-face Intervention
meeting: A face-to-face intervention meeting will be held in Birmingham,
March 13-14, 2000. Trena will contact Dr. Richter about the time she has
available on Tuesday to discuss issues. Future conference calls and meetings:

Ina Bawaya, University of New Mexico, Robert E. McKeown, PhD, Donna Richter,
DrPH, and Molly Greaney, University of South Carolina The minutes from
the March 10, 2000 Meeting were approved without corrections. Dr. Lewis
reported that Hall & Foushee entered the ENDOW video for two awards.
The video was chosen as a 'finalist" for a Telly Award which is similar
to a second place finish. The other is still pending. Publication Activities:
Dr. Lewis reported that the submitted UAB site-specific abstract to the
First International Conference on Women, Heart Disease and Stroke was accepted
as a poster presentation. Dr. McCreath reported that another round of analysis
will be returned to UAB next week for the hysterectomy paper. Dr. Lewis
asked everyone to go to the ENDOW website and make corrections on the publication
lists. Data management activities: Dr. McCreath reporte d that Dr. McKeown
had the following questions: Questions about different subsets of items
asked of different women have been clarified. Open-ended questions - Dr.
McCreath reported that a spreadsheet of the open-ended coding decisions
from the October steering committee meeting was distributed on Thursday,
April 6, 2000. The categories that were agreed upon were re-applied to
the categories in the core dataset. Dr McCreath discussed whether another
round of verification should be conducted on the open-ended coding. Dr.
Pulley reported that she had begun to look at the spreadsheet and feels
strongly that the coding should be verified again. The committee agreed
that the coding should be verified again and segments will be distributed.
Dr. McCreath reported that everyone should receive today a list of the
truncated responses. Site-specific data - Dr. Pulley reported that the
Alabama data has been retrieved and has been sent to Dr. McCreath for distribution.
Dr. McCreath reported that the CC would need about 1 week to double check
the data and will distribute to everyone the week of April 17, 2000. Scoring
for the SF12 - Dr. McCreath will forward to Dr. McKeown the SF12 scoring
today. Dr. McCreath reported that the remaining items would be coded by
the CC and distributed to everyone by the end of the week of April 10,
2000. Dr. McCreath reported that the question regarding whether the HRT
status in the Texas - HRT data was correct has been double-checked and
it is fine. Dr. McKeown reported that the social support scale variables
in the core dataset are reversed for the South Carolina data. Dr. McCreath
reported that this was taken care of in programming. Dr. McCreath reported
that the next version of the core dataset would have a disclaimer telling
everyone to contact Dr. McCreath for the code if they want to do new analyses
regarding social support. April 21, 2000 is the date for all open-ended
coding to be completed and returned to the CC. Dr. McCreath reported that
the next version of the dataset will b e released on May 8, 2000 in a zip
file on the website. Dr. McKeown reported that he has received calls from
reporters wanting input on the WHI-HRT, since they know USC is working
on decision-making. Dr. McKeown reported that his response to them has
been "This just shows that HRT is a very complex decision. That the information
we have is changing. That there are some things that we know pretty well
about benefits. Some things we know pretty well about risks, and other
things there is a big question mark. This is a decision that is really
shaped by the unique history, needs, characteristics and symptoms of a
woman and her values and really needs to be worked out very carefully with
her healthcare provider" Intervention activities: South Carolina: Dr. Richter
reported that training for the community leaders conducting the intervention
has been completed. The trainer training was used as a pilot test for the
intervention materials and only a few changes need to be made. The research
design where sessions will be held with a community person and a health
provider and others will have only a community person. What South Carolina
hopes to find is if both the sessions are equally effective or if one is
more effective. There are a total of 5 sessions that can be conducted flexibly,
one session a week for 5 weeks or 3 sessions in one day and 2 on another.
How the sessions are conducted will be determined by the groups of women
participating. Alabama: The 5 session program will begin on Saturday, April
8,2000 and will conclude in August. Each participant will receive a workbook,
T-shirt and a certification of completion at the end of the program session.
A total of 20-40 women will be recruited. Texas: Dr. Linares reported 10
women have been recruited and the sessions will begin May 8, 2000. Two
parts of the intervention materials have been developed. A new person has
been hired to help with the direct intervention materials. Two communities,
Arces Homes and Aldene, one African-American and one Hispanic, will be
use d. Two types of interventions, one in group and one individual which
consist of a one time session will be conducted. In the group session,
5-10 women will participate with a leader, who will show the video and
discuss the intervention materials that are developed. Individuals will
be recruited from the clinics. There will be discussion for about 10-15
minutes and then the intervention materials will be given. The staff will
contact them back in 2-3 weeks to conduct the post test. A total of 180
women consisting of 90 individuals and 90 in groups, 30 African-American
and 30 Hispanics, 30 English and 30 Spanish speaking in each group. New
Mexico: Ina reported that the Gallop center is ongoing. A new brochure
entitled "Consider the Source" " about how to evaluate health information
that you hear on the radio, TV, what you read in the newspaper has been
developed. Ina will send these brochures to all the sites for distribution.
They are discussing the possibility of conducting two more focus groups
on the video. With these two focus groups they hope to find out what people
think of the video and where it would be most useful. One of the focus
groups will be done in the South Valley area which is primarily Hispanic
from new immigrants to women who have lived in the state here for generations.
Ina reported that one of their former interviewers is running "First Choice"
located in the South Valley and has requested copies of the video, so they
plan to use the video postcard with the video to get feedback. The South
Valley location will be done in a group setting and then the video postcard
questions will be handed out for feedback in order to correspond with the
other sites. In common questions: Dr. Richter reported that the in-common
questions for pre/post intervention agreed upon at the Birmingham intervention
meeting should be distributed. Items included are demographic, participating
with providers, self efficacy, communication with your doctor, decision-making
Video postcard: The video postcard has been fi nalized and distributed
to everyone by Dr. Cornell. Ina will forward the video postcard draft from
Dr. Cornell to Trena for distribution. Decisional balance sheet: Dr. Groff
will distribute the decision-making balance sheet in a draft form. Both
the English and Spanish brochures will be on the website by the May meeting.
The video will only have the title and a few shots. Face-to-face Intervention
meeting: The ENDOW steering committee meeting will be May 22-23, 2000 in
Santa Fe, NM. Future conference calls and meetings: The steering committee
agreed to cancel the May and June conference calls due to the May meeting.
A Meeting to prepare for the Community Prevention Research in Women’s Health
Conference will be held in Charleston, SC, September 18-19, 2000. WHI Advisory
Committee Meeting will be October 25, 2000. The advisory committee decided
not to hear from all the studies will be asekd to present. They only want
to hear from four, Barb Ainsworth, Ross Brownson, Carol Cornell and ENDOW.
Dr. Lewis reported that she would summarize the ENDOW project for the committee.
The Community Prevention Research in Women's Health Conference is October
26-27, 2000 in Bethesda, MD at the NIH Masur Auditorium. The ENDOW session
will be on October 27, 2000. Dr. Lynne Wilcox will be the moderator and
Dr. Susan Hendrix will be the discussant. A conference call will be held
in the summer with all participating WHI SIP investigators. Abstract submission
will be accepted for poster presentations. M000523 ENDOW Steering Committee
Meeting Santa Fe, NM, May 22-23, 2000 Attendees: Beth Lewis, MD, Carol
Cornell, PhD, Heather McCreath, PhD, LeaVonne Pulley, PhD, MaryAnn Littleton
and, Trena Johnsey, University of Alabama at Birmingham, Jan Groff, MD,
Pat Dolan-Mullen, DrPH, Theresa Byrd, PhD, and Adrianna Linares, MD, University

and Molly Greaney, University of South Carolina, S uzanne Folger, PhD,
CDC The minutes from the April 7, 2000 Meeting were approved without corrections.
CDC Report: Dr. Folger reported that she emailed to all site PI's information
regarding no-cost extensions are due on June 23, 2000. All paperwork should
be submitted through the site PRC. Dr. Folger reported that Dr. Lynne Wilcox
has returned as Director of the Division of Reproductive Health at the
CDC. Project Timelines: Each site agreed that the collection of study data
would be completed by October; therefore, a no-cost extension would be
requested for data analyses for the most part. The Texas site will be conducting
some post-test interviews in late September. Data management: Dr. McCreath
reported that all individual site specific data have been received by the
CC and that a new version of the core dataset will be distributed by mid-June.
Verification Instructions: Dr. McCreath reported that verification analyses
instructions would be distributed by May 26, 2000. Verification steps:
Each author should send a copy of the manuscript and the SAS or SPSS code
used to conduct the analyses. CC will review the code to ensure that exclusions
and coding correspond with the discussion in the manuscript. As part of
this step, the inverse of exclusions may be run to ensure no participants
are inadvertently missed. CC will then re-run the analysis with the current
version data and verify all results presented in the manuscript. Dr. McCreath
reported that in addition to herself, Eva Chirapongse, and Darlene Graham
will be conducting data verification for ENDOW. Dr. Williams can help with
conceptual and statistical problems and act as a consultant for all data
verification. The committee agreed that "analyses issues for discussion"
should be added to the monthly agenda. Dr. McCreath reported that the one
new problem detected with the dataset was the incorrect scoring of the
SF-12. Response of "3" are not being correctly added to the final score.
Corrections will be made in the next version of the dataset. Trunca ted
responses: Transferred data still needs clarification on the symptom questions
from SC. Since New Mexico coded before computer input, no truncated responses
were entered as text, Ms. Altobelli will have to go back to the paper copy
of the survey for a few responses. Open-ended coding: The open-ended coding
has been completed, including quality control reviews, for the following
items: Other treatments suggested by doctor (hysterectomized women only)
Symptoms leading to hysterectomy or desire for hysterectomy Other surgical/medical
treatments tried Other alternative healers tried Other alternative remedies
tried Reason HRT was recommended Reason HRT was not taken when recommended
Reason HRT stopped Dr. McCreath presented frequencies by ethnicity and
site for some of the items that have had complete reviews. For the items
still needing review, Dr. McCreath asked that they be sent to her as soon
as possible. Dr. McCreath also asked for help from the committee regarding
coding of the responses to the final item ("Before having a hysterectomy,
what should a woman know?"). After extensive discussion, the group decided
that proper coding and review of these responses will take extensive effort.
The purpose of including the item was to inform the intervention materials.
As these materials have already been developed, no further action will
be taken with the coding at this time. Dr. McCreath will draft a proposal
for review by Dr. Groff and Dr. Pulley for further work to be done with
these data. If such work seems feasible, they will present the proposal
to the Steering Committee. Dr. Groff questioned the Steering Committee
as to whether the surveys collected from the convenience samples for lesbians
should be included in the core. The Steering Committee agreed that these
data (approximately 100 women) should be sent to the CC to be available
for analyses, but in a separate dataset as the data collection methods
are different from the core survey. Finally, each site discussed the resources
available for analyses. N ew Mexico no longer has anyone to do analyses,
so Alabama will provide analysis support for New Mexico. South Carolina
and Texas will conduct their own analyses, although Texas will contact
Dr. Dale Williams for analytic questions or validation. Dr. McCreath is
working to conserve some monies to enable analysis effort support after
September. Intervention update: South Carolina: The University of South
Carolina has trained ten Women’s Health Advisors to facilitate workshops
on women's health issues in Beaufort and Jasper Counties. The Community
Health Advisors are African American and Caucasian women from the area
who will be paired with women nurses who were also trained. The workshop
has five separate sections and each covers a specific topical area. The
sections are: What is menopause? What happens: Hysterectomy What Happens:
Hormone Replacement Therapy Hysterectomy: the Decision is Yours Eating
Healthy Pre and posttests for each session have been developed. Each session
is designed to stand-alone or multiple sessions can be covered during a
workshop. This flexibility allows for facilitators to present the workshop
over an entire day or over a series of meetings. Materials for facilitators
include lesson plans, overheads, and handouts for each session. All materials
have been gathered into a large binder. At this point, a minimum of 12
workshops is planned. Each workshop will have two facilitators. A nurse
will be present for each Woman's Health Advisors first workshop. Additional
workshops may or may not have a nurse present as one area of research interest
is to determine if the presence of a health care provider impacts learning.
Participants will be recruited by the Women’s Health Advisors and the local
ENDOW staff member. Facilitators have been asked to over recruit with the
goal of eight to ten participants per workshop. All participants will receive
a notebook of materials and an ENDOW T-shirt. Evaluation Plan: Use questions
that will compare African-American women to White women. Trainers conducting
the groups will be an ethnicity matched, but will recruit mixed ethnicity
too. Dr. Richter reported that South Carolina has determined that the skills
will not change because training is not long enough, but they hope to change
the knowledge of these women. APHA: Dr. Richter reported that the APHA
has an award deadline of May 31, 2000 for developed interventions and she
is going to submit the already developed intervention materials such as
the video, T-shirt, and brochures. The committee agreed to this plan. Texas:
The Texas intervention will be conducted in two phases, clinic and community,
recruiting a total of 180 women and concentrating on knowledge and attitudes.
The WHA (Women Health Advisors) used in the intervention will have had
to reside in the community for greater than 5 years and be over 35 years
old. Education was not important. Kimberly Phillips is training all of
the WHAs who will be participating in the intervention. Dr. Groff reported
that an interventionist has been hired to help design the intervention.
Individual intervention: The clinic component will consist of women who
have come in to the clinic who will be given an intervention kit. They
will be contact for follow-up at a later date. The individual intervention
kit consists of the following: A copy of the video - video postcard Two
brochures entitled: "Wise Woman's Guide to Making Decisions" and "The Decision
is Yours (talking with your doctor)" T-shirt Each participant recruited
will be given a box consisting of the above and a brief explanation of
the study. Each participant will then be called in about three weeks by
study staff after receiving the box for a follow-up questionnaire by phone.
Group intervention: The community component will consist of a one session
format lasting approximately 1 1/2 hours. Post testing will be done at
the end of the session. New Mexico: Dr. Herman reported that the Gallop
office would close on June 30, 2000 because of lack of funding. The Gallup
Heath fair conducted earlier this year yeilded 212 women and 9 men. Each
participant at the Healthfair talked to either Dr. Herman, Ina Bawaya or
Ella Yazzie. T-shirts, and numerous brochures of interest were distributed.
Dr. Herman reported that she, Ina Bawaya and Ella Yazzie were present to
talk with all who visited. Dr. Herman reported that New Mexico was trying
to set up a focus group to view the video and provide input. Dr. Herman
reported that the CD Rom entitled "Making the Decision about Hormone Replacement
Therapy " has been pilot test with 48 white, 20 Hispanic speaking and 40
Hispanic/English speaking women. Dr. Herman reported that the CD Rom would
be tested in October 2000 and they were trying to achieve distribution
by corporate sponsor presently. Alabama: Ms. Littleton reported that the
following five sessions will be held: April 8, 2000 Introduction to Hysterectomy,
Menopause, Hormone Replacement Therapy, and Menstrual Symptoms Dr. Sandral
Hullett (Invited Speaker) May 13, 2000 Gathering the Information Needed
to Make Informed Medical Decisions June 10, 2000 It’s Your Decision (Tools
to help make decisions), Be Good to Yourself Session, (Invited Speakers
and Demonstrations) July 8, 2000 Dispelling Myths about Changes Women go
Through (Significant others are invited), Improving Relationships Session
(Invited Speaker) August 12, 2000 Bringing It All Together (Wrap-up and
Celebration) Ms. Littleton reported that the CHA (community health advisors)
who are all from the community will be trained by study staff in each session
topic prior to the session. A demographic questionnaire was handed out
at the beginning of each session to those who were new to the sessions.
Each woman who attends three of the five sessions will be given a session
notebook, T-shirt, and a certificate at the session completion. Session
1 was conducted on April 8, 2000 and had an attendance of eighteen women
with Dr. Sandral Hulcutt as the invited speaker. Session 2 was conducted
on May 13, 2000 and had an attendance of twelve women including fiv e new
women. Ms. Littleton reported that the women in the Riley community feel
that the grandmothers of the community have the role of going out and informing
younger women of how to make decisions. Intervention Instruments for evaluation:
Post test: Alabama will conduct post testing at the end of each of the
five sessions to get a feel for the session topic. Texas will conduct post
testing in about three weeks after initial contact on the individual intervention
and at the end of the session for the group setting. South Carolina will
conduct post testing at the end of each session. Pre test: The committee
agreed that a pre test would be conducted across all three sites, but the
way it is conducted would be different. Alabama has already conducted a
pre test in the beginning of their first session using the demographic
handout developed at the Birmingham Intervention meeting. Texas will conduct
the pre test in the group and individual setting. Program evaluation: Alabama
will conduct program evaluation at the end of each session. Texas will
conduct program evaluation at the end of the session or during the three
week follow-up phone call for individuals. Action Item: Each site will
circulate their individual questions or session evaluation items from their
pre-post tests. Program/Session Evaluation: Should be targeted to the specific
program style. Six decision-making questions will be asked in common across
all three sites, as developed at the Birmingham Intervention meeting. Beliefs
about medical care, confidence, talking with your doctors. Ask questions:
Was this too much information for one session, was this too many sessions.
Each site will get their data in some fashion. A g rid will be prepared
to identify any wording differences. CC will develop a spreadsheet for
the data collected. Texas will send their specific questions to the CC
for instrument spreadsheet development. Only pilot testing will be done
within the constraints of this study. New Mexico was dictated by the Navajo
Nation to get into the community with education as a result of intervention.
Two years of education has been done including other women health issues
besides hysterectomy. What types of data management/analyses: The committee
agreed to compile demographic data across all three sites and the core
questions agreed upon at the Birmingham Intervention meeting. Tuesday,

Extensions: Dr. Lewis reported that Alabama would have some carryover money
to continue to fund some level of analyst support and one steering committee
meeting next year. New Mexico: Dr. Herman reported that Ina Bawaya left
her position and Monica Weaver moved to Birmingham so some carry over money
will be available for next year. South Carolina: Dr. McKeown requested
carryover funds; however, it is dependent on whether the carryover funds
from this year are received. Texas: Dr. Linares reported that the carryover
from 1999 year 4 have been received and carryover funds have been requested
for 2000, year 5. Data management: Verification Instructions: Dr. McCreath
reported that verification of analyses instructions have been placed on
the website. Coding: Dr. McCreath reported that Dr. Pulley found that some
responses needed to be coded corresponding to the questionnaire categories,
so the dataset distribution date will be July 15, 2000. Dr. McCreath reported
that she would feel comfortable doing analyses on the available dataset
for abstracts to be submitted to the July 28, 2000 deadline of the Community
Prevention Research in Women's Health Conference. Intervention update:
South Carolina: Dr. Richter reported that South Carolina has hit a snag
in recruiting. The trained health advisors are having trouble assembling
the groups because of vacations in the summer, but would be caught up by
the end of September. Texas: Dr. Linares reported that all the intervention
materials have been prepared and the groups and individuals will start
next week. A total of 180 women will be surveyed. African-American women
will have 60 in groups and 30 individuals. Hispanic - 30 will speak English
and 30 will speak Spanish in groups and 15 will speak English and 15 will
speak Spanish in individual sessions. All individuals will be recruited
from t he clinic. The intervention will be discussion for no more than
15 minutes, conducting the pretest, explaining what the materials are,
and inviting them to watch the video. 3 weeks later someone will contact
them to see if they have watched the video and what they thought about
the materials. APHA: Dr. Richter reported that all the developed intervention
materials such as the video, T-shirt, and brochures were submitted to the
APHA, however, no awards were won. New Mexico: Dr. Herman reported that
the Gallop office closed on June 30, 2000 because of lack of funding. The
video will be available at the Gallop library and the local video store.
Dr. Herman reported that 2 focus groups were conducted with the video using
the standard evaluation forms. 19 women attended (12 white, 6 Navajo, and
1 Hispanic) in the Gallop area and all found the video to be very useful.
Alabama: Ms. Littleton reported that the 4th session entitled "exploring
and dispelling myths" will be conducted on Saturday, July 8, 2000 and the
5th session will be held in August which will be a wrap up of all the previous
sessions, including role plays. Certificates of completion will be given
to those who attended at least 3 sessions. Second phase: Three one-session
programs will be done in August in rural sites. One 2-hour session consisting
of the video, two booklets developed by Texas ("Talking to Your Doctor"
and "Wise Woman Guide to Decision making") with a pre/post test evaluation.
Another one session program will be done in an urban site in September.
Publication activities: Each site will review the publication grids for
the August 11, 2000 conference call. Website: Each site will review the
website and send any additional information that needs to be posted for
their site-specific webpage. Future Conference Calls and Meetings: future

was ending but the center funding was continuing. Dr. Groff will forward
the e-mail to Trena for distribution. Data management: Dr. McCreath reported
that Version 2 of the core survey data was distributed on July 20, both
Texas and New Mexico reported receiving the file. Dr. McCreath will resend
Version 2 to Dr. Herman in New Mexico who was unable to read it. The CC
is w orking on Version 3 of the core survey data to correct a few minor
problems found in Version 2 while conducting analyses for the WHICPS abstract
submission deadline. Dr. McCreath asked that all intervention data entered
be forwarded to the CC. Dr. Herman reported that she had sent the New Mexico
focus group data regarding the video to Trena. Trena will forward the New
Mexico data to Dr. McCreath. Intervention: New Mexico: Dr. Herman reported
that the video focus groups are finished and the data collection information
had been forwarded to the CC. The Gallup office closed on June 30, 2000,
but the video has been distributed to the Gallup library and the local
video store for distribution. Alabama: Mary Ann reported the 4th session
at Riley Community Center entitled "exploring and dispelling myths" was
conducted on July 8, 2000 and was very successful. This session invited
men and included a guest speaker who talked about relationships between
men and women. The 5th Riley session entitled "wrapping it all up" will
be conducted on August 12, 2000 with graduation for those who attended
3 of the 5 sessions and numerous role plays. Two 2-hour sessions were conducted
in Pineapple, where 21 women attended and in Camden where 27 women attended.
At each of these sessions, the video was shown and the "Talking to Your
Doctor" and "Wise Woman Guide to Decision-Making" were used. Both of these
sessions were very well received by all the participants. Another 2-hour
session will be conducted on August 29, 2000 in the Uniontown area by the
facilitators from the Riley community. A follow-up 2-hour session will
be held in the Riley area for those women who could not attend the five-session
group. Trena reported that Dr. Lewis placed the video in the UAB Russell
Clinic for distribution. Texas: Dr. Linares reported 60 individual women
from two clinics and 50 women in groups have been completed. The lay advisors
reported difficulty in recruiting Hispanic women in both groups. This week
study personnel will be more active in recruiti ng Hispanic women from
Aldene for the groups. Dr. Groff reported that the intervention is going
well. The groups are being very well received and the difficultity with
the individuals has not been with recruiting but with the follow-up phone
calls three weeks later due to the hot weather and people going on vacation.
Publication activities: Each site will review the publication grids for
the September meeting. Dr. McCreath reminded everyone to please review
the verification instructions and distribute them to any programmers or
analysts in preparation for completed manuscripts. Any analysis done at
the CC will be verified by a second person. Dr. McCreath reported the analysis
done for the "Community Prevention Research on Women's Health Conference
abstract by Drs. Wheeler and Cherrington on "use of alternative remedies
and therapies" will be turned into a formal paper proposal. Dr. Williams
stated that if anyone has plans for papers which will need CC analysis
please let her know as soon as possible. Website: Each site will review
the website and send any additional information that needs to be posted
to their site-specific webpage. Future Conference Calls and Meetings: Future

18-19, 2000 Charleston, SC Attendees: Beth Lewis, Dale Williams, Carol
Cornell, LeaVonne Pulley, MaryAnn Littleton and Trena Johnsey, University
of Alabama at Birmingham, Jan Groff, Theresa Byrd and Guillermo Tortolero,
and Patricia Dolan-Mullen, University of Texas - Houston, Carla Herman,
University of New Mexico, and Suzanne Folger (via speaker phone), CDC,
Robert McKeown, Donna Richter and Molly Greaney, University of South Carolina.
The minutes from the August 11, 2000 conference call were approved without
corrections. CDC report: Dr. Folger reported that all of the Women’s Health
Initiative projects requested carryover funds. Each PI should contact Robert
Hancock if carry-over notification has not been received. Dr. Folger reported
that Dr. Lynda Doll, Director of the Prevention Research Centers will be
presenting introductory remarks at the "Community Prevention Research in
Women’s Health Conference." Dr. Doll would like community collaboration
examples. Each PI will send a site-specific summary of their intervention
materials. Dr. Folger reported that she participated on an August conference
call with Dr. Finnegan who was concerned about why all the WHI SIPS had
requested carryover funds. Dr. Folger will participate in another call
with Dr. Finnegan on October 3 and would like to have some information
from the PIs on how the WHI SIPS have grown and if continual funding activities
are in the works. Trena will have the Spanish version of the intervention
booklets entitled "The Decision is Your’s: Talking to Your Doctor" and
"The Wise Woman Guide to Making Decisions," added to the ENDOW website.
Each PI will check the publication grid on the website and will send corrections
to Trena. Time lin es: Dr. Lewis reported that carry over funds were requested
by the CC for investigator and analysis time, one steering committee meeting
focusing on future directions, publications and data support funding. New
Mexico - Dr. Herman reported that carryover funds were requested for publications.
Since the Gallop office closed in June of 2000, videos have been placed
in both of the two video stores and have been checked out in both Spanish
and English. Dr Herman will be disseminating ENDOW information at "The
Changing Women’s Conference" which is sponsored by the CDC. South Carolina-
Dr. McKeown reported that carryover funds were requested for publication
analysis and finishing up workshops. The Beaufort Community recruiter has
resigned and a part-time recruiter will be taking over to finish up the
workshops. Videos have been distributed to the libraries in Beaufort and
Jasper counties. Texas - Dr. Groff reported that carryover funds were requested
for paper analyses. Dr. Linares is now working for Dr. Tortolero who has
agreed for her to volunteer her time to help with analysis. Dr. Groff reported
that Dr. Linares would be presenting a poster on ENDOW Lesbian data at
the APHA in November. Dr. Linares will email the title to Trena for the
publication grid. Data management and analysis: Core survey data: Version
3 was distributed on September 7, 2000. This version corrects the minor
problems found with version 2 within the variables created to represent
coding of the open-ended of responses. Open-ended coding: All of the open-ended
coding has been incorporated into the dataset. Several of the variables
have very low frequencies, so they may need to be combined for anlaysis.
The only item not coded is the last question " What should a woman know
before having a hysterectomy?." At the May meeting, the steering committee
decided not to code this item. However, the electronic version of the text
is available to anyone who would like to work on it. Evaluation data: The
CC will be pulling together the evaluation da ta for the summary presentations
at the October conference. Please forward your data to the CC as soon as
possible. Analyses: The CC is currently working on Dr. Lewis; hysterectomy
paper, Dr. Herman’s HRT paper and Dr. Cherrington’s alternative remedies
paper. Verifications: Dr. Williams reported that the verification instructions
are available on the website as well as being distributed. Please contact
the CC if any questions arise. Dr. Lewis reported that Dr. Andrea Cherringtion
submitted an abstract to the "Community Prevention Research on Women’s
Health Conference" which was accepted. She and Dr. Cherrington will be
distributing a paper proposal on alternative remedies. Dr. Lewis will have
Dr. Cherrington contact Dr. Herman regarding alternative remedy findings
in the New Mexico data. Dr. Williams stated that the Navajo data should
be archived at the CC even though it can’t be used without Navajo IRB approval.
Site-specific Intervention Updates: South Carolina: Dr. McKeown reported
two workshops have been done to-date with a total of 10 participants. In
the 2-hour sessions: The video "Hysterectomy the Decision is Yours" was
shown, the Texas booklets entitled "The Decision is Your’s Talking to Your
Doctor" and "The Wise Woman Guide to Making Decisions" and participant
role plays were done. If the workshops scheduled for Beaufort County don’t
take place, the alternative will be to conduct workshops in the Columbia
area. The South Carolina newspapers have had very positive reviews of the
project and the articles will be displayed at the "Community Prevention
Research on Women’s Health Conference". Texas: Dr. Groff reported that
a comparison of individual vs group sessions was being done. 163 interviews
(70 community/groups, 93 clinic/individual recruited from two clinics)
have been conducted to date. The ethnicity breakdown is 95 African-American,
67 Hispanic and 1 white with a mean age of 50 years. 33 participants were
born in Mexico, 43 % have greater than high school education, 61% have
had a hyste rectomy, 90% have gone through or currently in menopause, 58%
have used or are using HRT, 43% were recommend at some time to have a hysterectomy.
The overall feedback from participants has been very good. Individuals
from the clinic/individual sample are approached while waiting for a clinic
visit. The group sessions were conducted in women homes and one was conducted
in a church. Diabetes was the symptom of choice most of the time for the
role-plays. A Lay health advisor conducted eachof the groups and a project
person was present for support. Dr. Groff reported that a woman stated
that she didn’t know that you could disagree with your doctor. After completing
a group, one woman did see her doctor and reported "that she had a different
experience with her doctor" when the study staff did the call back. New
Mexico: Dr. Herman reported that the focus group conducted with more health
care professionals present was more critical than the community women which
were Navajo. Since the Gallop office closed, videos were placed in the
2 video stores in town and have actually been checked out in both English
and Spanish. Dr. Herman said that she would be handing out ENDOW materials
at the CDC conference entitled "The Changing Woman". Dr. Herman reported
that around 12,000 contacts were made through the gallop office; however,
these contacts would include the series of classes that had repeated attendance
of the same women. Notebooks of the Gallop dissemination materials have
been put together for the WHI advisory committee. The Navajo women thought
that the information was of some importance. Alabama: One 5-session program
was conducted. The first session had 18 women, the second had 12 women,
the third had 11 women, the fourth had 33women and men and the fifth had
women. Each woman attended 3 of the 5 sessions graduated the program and
received a certificate. The four 2-hour sessions were conducted in Camden,
Uniontown, Pineapple and Riley using the Texas brochures entitled "The
Decision is Yours: Talking to Your Doctor" and "The Wise Woman Guide to
Making Decisions" along with the video "Hysterectomy, The Decision is Yours"
and role plays were conducted. A woman in one of the groups stated " Men
need to be educated" Issues were raised during Ms. Littleton’s presentations
about how to handle the Alabama data regarding the 5-session program since
the pre-and post-session questionnaires are not identifiable. The UAB group
will determine an analysis plan. The group next discussed intervention
analyses: Individual versus group (Texas); 5 - session versus 2-hour individual
groups (Alabama) Strategies would address the following general questions:
What did the interventions do? Does any intervention of any kind make a
difference or have any impact? Was these changes in knowledge and attitudes
of interest to scientists? For women was this useful and did you learn
anything? Intervention data analysis steps discussed include: Perceived
need for intervention Focus group, survey (especially open-ended items
from last question) Request for materials Do we have any evidence that
the interventions work? Self-efficacy scale, belief scale, Autonomy preference
scale/Behavioral intentions (Texas), Patient-provider communication beliefs.
Do we have evidence that anybody wants it - perceived value of intervention?
Data - perceived need, perceived value from general questions asked on
Program/leaders/materials Quotes from open-ended questions (qualitative)
Fine-tuning of intervention methods and strategies Post-session questions
Potential Venues for Intervention Data discussed were: Grant application
- preliminary data WHI CPS conference - oral and poster presentations WHI
advisory committee Other meetings: APHA 2001, APA 2001 (invited), health
promotion conference (dissemination materials) SOPHE(mid-year or 2001),
Patient education conference 2001, (Groff), ? ATPM, SBM (rapid posters),
Society of General Internal Medicine, Am Menopause Society Dr. Byrd will
send information on the SOPHE conference. Publicat ions: American Family
Physician, Journal of Health Promotion Practice, JGIM AJPH, Journal of
Women’s Health and Gender Based Medicine, Health Education and Behavioral,
Menopause, Health Education Research, JAMWA, Ethnicity and Disease, Public
Health Reports Publication venues: Video development and evaluation (intervention
mapping) Suggestions were either a health education or behavior journal
Site-specific evaluation papers The committee agreed that another journal
supplement would be good for intervention evaluation papers. Dr. Lewis
suggested perhaps the new journal that Dr. Hendrix is starting after the
1st of the year. Perhaps Dr. Hendrix could write an editorial on the conference
presentations since she is the ENDOW discussant Presentation venue: APHA
2001 (Women’s Health) - site specific intervention development and evaluation
SOPHE - Video development (all centers represented) – Drs Groff and Richter
will work on an abstract. The group next discussed intervention materials
dissemination possibilities: CHA group-videos Use the Website for printed
materials CME activities (would need to be developed) - workshop, website
or conference call venues National clearinghouses - www4women, federal
clearinghouse of consumer information, AHRQ guidelines, CDC websites, links
to web search engines Media – distribute a common press release - National
- Trena will check with UAB media relations on how to do this Video stores
- how to get on shelves? The initial WHI CPS Conference presentation outline:

Groff Intervention approach and summary – Donna Richter, 10 min Conclusions
and future directions – Beth Lewis, 5 min Discussion - Sue Hendrix, 15
min Question and Answers - 10 min Each presentation was presented and comments
were made regarding changes. The steering co mmittee decided after the
presentations were completed that conclusions and future directions should
be cut to less than 5 minutes, allowing the intervention presentation to
be 20 minutes. The intervention presentation will include quotes from women
who participated in the groups. Each PI will send pictures and quotes to
Dr. Richter. Dr. Richter will include slides of the commonly developed
materials. Dr. Groff will send Dr. Richter a slide of the intervention
booklets developed by the Texas group. Conclusions achieved by the study
are: Women want involvement in medical decisions Women want more and better
information on hysterectomy and other health issues Women want improved
communication with doctors Qualitative and survey data are consistent and
enhance each other Pilot data suggest interventions as valuable Future
directions for the study are: Continued design and testing of intervention
tools needed for medical decisions and should be tailored for specific
groups Development of information Testing of intervention effects in controlled
trials focusing on multiple outcomes for medical decisions Dissemination
strategies Future conference calls: Friday, October 6, 2000 Decisions to
be made on the October 6 conference call at 11:00 CST: Each slide presentation
will be discussed again and the decision will be made as to where to place
the slides of the commonly developed materials. Each PI will develop a
list of people who deserve authorship credit for the conference presentations
and then make suggestions of the presentation for co-authorship for these
individuals. Friday, December 8, 2000 Future meetings: October 25, WHI
Advisory Committee October 26-27, 2000, Community Prevention Research on
Women’s Health Conference, Bethesda, MD. April 23-24, 2000, Santa Fe, New
Mexico Dr. Herman will explore meeting possibilities and contact Trena
with the information. M001006 ENDOW Steering Committee Conference Call
October 6, 2000 Attendees: Beth Lewis, Dale Williams, Heather McCreath,
Caro l Cornell, LeaVonne Pulley, and Trena Johnsey, University of Alabama
at Birmingham; Jan Groff, and Adrianna Linares, University of Texas - Houston;
Carla Herman, University of New Mexico; Suzanne Folger, CDC; Robert McKeown,
and Donna Richter, University of South Carolina. The minutes from the September
18, 2000 steering committee meeting were approved with minor corrections.
Data management and analysis: Dr. McCreath reported that while doing Dr.
Herman's analysis she determined that the CC still had not coded HRT users
for Texas correctly, therefore, a new data set would be distributed this
weekend. Dr. Herman reported that she will send the raw video evaluation
data when she locates it. Publications: Dr. Lewis distributed a paper proposal
based on the abstract for the "Community Prevention Research on Women's
Health Conference" dealing with alternative remedies. The questions being
tested are "how many people use them", "what types of people", "are there
ethnic differences", and "are there education differences". Dr. Herman
stated that if Dr. Cherrington wants the Navajo data for the paper and
the re-survey which showed a much higher use when the interviewers asked
specifics, she is welcome to it. Dr. Herman will mail the report on the
alternative calls to Dr. Cherrington to see if she is interested in it
for the paper. Dr. Herman is interested in serving as an author if Dr.
Cherrington is interested in the Navajo. Dr. Richter reported that a manuscript
has been drafted and is ready to be submitted based on the South Carolina
qualitative data regarding alternatives. Dr. Richter is interested in being
an author if Dr. Cherrington would like to use the South Carolina paper
as a reference. Dr. Richter will forward the paper to Dr. Lewis. Dr. Richter
will forward the information on the South Carolina alternative paper for
the publication grid. Intervention Update: Dr. Lewis reported that Dr.
Pulley and MaryAnn Littleton were working on an intervention analysis strategy
with Dr. McCreath for the Alabama data. Dr. McCreath reported that the
video data has been entered, however, Alabama will only have frequencies.
Dr. McCreath will forward a frequency summary of the Alabama video evaluation
data to Dr. Richter. Dr. Groff reported that Texas has completed the intervention
and Dr. Linares is inputting data. Dr. Linares will extract a summary of
frequencies from the Texas video evaluation data and forward to Dr. Richter.
Dr. McKeown reported a part-time staff member's hours have been extended.
so that she can work with one of the women's health advisors in Beaufort
until the workshops can be completed. Dr. McKeown also reported that some
workshops might possibly be done in the Columbia area. Conference presentation
authorship: The steering committee made the following decisions regarding
authorship for the conference presentations. Overview: Beth Lewis, Donna
Richter, Jan Groff, Robert McKeown, and Carla Herman "The Role of Qualitative
Data in the ENDOW Study": Carla Herman, Jan Groff, Beth Lewis, Robert McKeown,
and Donna Richter "Preliminary Analysis of Mental and Physical Health Outcomes
of Hysterectomy Experience: The South Carolina Data": Robert McKeown, Tom
Hurley, Donna Richter, Beth Lewis, Jan Groff, and Carla Herman "Women's
Preference's for Involvement in Medical Decisions": Jan Groff, LeaVonne
Pulley, Carla Herman, Beth Lewis, Robert McKeown, and Heather McCreath
"ENDOW Intervention": Donna Richter, Molly Greaney, Robert McKeown, Carol
Cornell, MaryAnn Littleton, LeaVonne Pulley, Jan Groff, Theresa Byrd, and
Carla Herman Dr. Lewis requested that Drs. McCreath and Pulley be added
to the survey data presentations. Conference presentations: Dr. Lewis reported
that preliminary slides have been mailed to the discussant, Dr. Susan Hendrix,
and the wrap up speaker, Dr. Kumanyika. Dr. Lewis reported that no changes
have been made to the overview since the September meeting. Dr. Herman
reported that only format changes have been made for the conference presentation;
however, pictures have been added to the WHI Advisory Board slides. Dr.
Groff reported that format changes have been made along with the suggestions
from the September meeting. WHI Advisory Board Meeting: Dr. Lewis reported
that she and Dr. Herman would attend the WHI Advisory Board meeting. Dr.
Lewis will give a 30-minute presentation on the study. Dr. Herman will
be available to discuss the Navajo data. Dr. Williams suggested that Dr.
Lewis include issues raised that need to be addressed with further research.
Dr. Lewis reported that the overview will be short, more time will be devoted
to intervention development and brief statements regarding the actual intervention
results. Dr. Williams suggested that perhaps the study should be presented
as a pilot study. Dr. Lewis stated that the decision-making theme will
be discussed since it is represented in the qualitative and the survey
data. Dr. Williams suggested that the group should watch what is in the
news in the next few weeks and try to present something from this project
that compliments the news. Dr. Groff stated that AHRQ just published in
last month's newsletter findings that "To many hysterectomies are still
being done". Dr. Groff will send these findings to Dr. Lewis immediately.
Dr. Lewis stated that the USA Today story about "geographic differences
in procedures". Call for abstracts: Dr. Folger distributed an email regarding
a Public Health Reports Supplement. The agency wants to highlight research
among academia, agencies, and the community to address health disparity
across ethnicities with respect to various factors related to HRT and hysterectomy.
The deadline for abstracts is December 1, 2000. Progress Reports: The CDC
PRC office is requesting the following: Progress report is due on December
31, 2000 that summarizes progress for the last year. Final progress report
will be due 60-90 days after the end of the extension period. Conference
calls: Dr. Folger reported that monthly conference calls have been initiated
between Dr. Loretta Finnegan, the SIP technical advisors and th e CDC PRC
office. October 2, 2000. The October 2 call, however, had raised the question
to Dr. Finnegan and CDC PRC here about mechanisms for continuing the dissemination
of materials that are developed as a result of the SIP projects. There
is interest across all the SIP projects concerning this matter. A variety
of possibilities were discussed; however, no decisions were made. One decision
that was made was that after the conference the technical advisors would
be asking the PI's involved for their suggestions on how to disseminate
the developed materials. Charges for disseminating developed materials:
Dr. Folger stated that studies can charge for disseminating developed materials
only to recoup immediate duplication costs including cost of coping, mail
charges etc. Dr. Folger will check with David Elswick about the rules and
regulations and paperwork involved regarding the cost for duplication of
developed materials. Future conference Calls: The November 3, 2000 conference
call has been cancelled due to the meeting on October 26, 27, 2000. Friday,
December 8, 2000 conference call will be at 11:00 am CST. Future meetings:
April 23-24, 2000, at the Hotel St. Francis, in Santa Fe, New Mexico with
emphasis on publications and future directions. The meeting will be all
day on Monday, April 23, 2000 and 1/2 a day on April 24, 2000. M001208
ENDOW Steering Committee Conference Call December 8, 2000 Attendees: Beth
Lewis, Dale Williams, Heather McCreath, Carol Cornell, LeaVonne Pulley,
and Trena Johnsey, University of Alabama at Birmingham; Jan Groff, and
Adrianna Linares, University of Texas - Houston; Carla Herman, University
of New Mexico; Suzanne Folger, CDC; Robert McKeown, and Donna Richter,
University of South Carolina. The minutes from the October 6, 2000 steering
committee conference call were approved with minor corrections. Data management
and analysis: Dr. McCreath stated that she needed to clarify what is meant
by the term final survey data. Final survey data is only final in the number
of partici pants in the study. 3 versions of the dataset have been distributed
thus far, some correcting problems and another adding all the open-ended
questions. Version 4 will be distributed within the next week, correcting
a problem that was found with the HRT status for the Texas participants.
Evaluation data: The CC has received a New Mexico summary of the video
postcard evaluation data. The CC has received the Alabama video postcard
data. Dr. McKeown will send the South Carolina data when the postcard evaluation
has been completed. Dr. McCreath reported this data would not be matched
into one dataset, but would be available from the CC as a central repository.
The CC will develop instructions on how to combine the data sets, should
one decide to do combined analysis. Data archive: Dr. Williams stated that
a discussion was held at the Charleston meeting about archiving the study
data within the next year, however, no decision was made on how to do this.
Dr. McCreath reported that the CC has received the Navajo data; however,
it is not available in the regular dataset distribution because of the
process of requiring Navajo IRB approval . Dr. Williams explained that
archiving the data simply means having the dataset and enough appropriate
documentation to support the dataset translation for years to come. Dr.
McKeown stated that the codebook would help to some extent. Site-specific
datasets: Dr. McCreath stated that the CC has core data from every site
and a discussion was held about archiving the entire dataset from each
site. Dr. McCreath reported that each site has forwarded their site specific
survey data; however, she is not clear what version the CC has received.
Dr. McCreath will check on the dataset version from each site within the
next month and report back to each site what file the CC has, its date,
and if sites have newer data, please forward to the CC. The committee decided
that each site would keep the raw data, such as questionnaires and any
hard copies. Dr. Herman reported that New Mexico would be scann ing all
their raw data to CD ROM. Alabama reported that there are no paper forms
from the survey; however, there are paper forms from all the focus groups
and the evaluation data. Focus group: Dr. McCreath reported that the CC
does not have any data from the focus groups. The committee decided that
all the focus group data would be archived by each site. Dr. Williams stated
that perhaps these should be available for review in the future. The site-specific
transcripts are electronic. The decision needs to be made whether focus
group transcripts should be centrally archived. Dr. McCreath and Trena
will work on a plan for archiving these focus group transcripts. Publications:
Manuscript possibilities: Dr. Lewis reported that at the WHI meeting the
previous week Dr. Sue Hendrix, editor of the Clinical Journal of Women's
Health, talked about funding from a company for a special issue. She was
interested in the possibility of a special issue from the WHI CPS conference
with a May deadline. Dr. Lewis reported that Dr. Lynda Doll from the CDC
has been talking to an editor of a health education and behavior journal
about papers pertaining to the WHI SIPs also. Dr. Folger will request that
these journal requests be added to the December 13, 2000 conference call
agenda for discussion with Dr. Loretta Finnegan, the SIP technical advisors,
and the CDC PRC office. Dr. Richter reported that she received an email
from Meredith Boxtin at JAMWA inquiring if she would contribute a manuscript
based on ENDOW interventions presented at the WHI CPS conference. The deadline
is February 15, 2001. The committee agreed that it would be good for Dr.
Richter to proceed with this manuscript. American Psychological Association:
Dr. Lewis reported that she submitted a proposal to the American Psychological
Association for a 3-hour CME session in October, 2001. Dr. Herman reported
that as an invited speaker travel, expenses would be covered. Dr. Lewis
reported that she talked with Dr. Finnegan who was excited about this session
and stated that perhaps ENDOW could prepare a 1-page description and submit
it to the Office of Research on Women's Health and the CDC for funding.
*****Dr. Richter reported that a manuscript has been drafted and is ready
to be submitted based on the South Carolina qualitative data regarding
alternatives. Dr. Richter will forward the paper to Dr. Lewis. *****Dr.
Richter will forward the information on the South Carolina alternative
paper for the publication grid. Intervention Update: Dr. McKeown reported
a part-time staff member has been hired. She is working on continuing workshops
and offering workshops with women's health advisors in Beaufort. Study
Timeline: Progress reports: The CDC PRC office is requesting the following:
Progress report is due on December 31, 2000 that summarizes progress for
the last year. Final progress report will be due 60-90 days after the end
of the extension period. Publications: Drs Herman and McCreath will have
a conference call next week regarding the HRT paper. Texas will work on
the decision-making paper. Dr. Lewis is working on the hysterectomy paper.
Dissemination activities: Meetings/abstracts Drs. Groff and Richter are
working on an abstract for SOPHE deadline regarding video development (all
centers represented). Decided on at the September 18, 2000 meeting. Dr.
Folger discussed the 4th International Symposium on Women's Health and
Menopause, May 19-23, 2001. The deadline is January 31, 2001. The purpose
of the meeting is to update physicians and other healthcare professionals
on recent research in the field of women's health and menopause. Dr. Folger
will distribute the flyer to each site for review. *****Dr. Groff stated
that AHRQ just published in last month's newsletter findings that "Too
many hysterectomies are still being done". Dr. Groff will send these findings
to Dr. Lewis immediately. Awards: The ENDOW video entitled "Hysterectomy:

Conference. Dr. Folger reported that the CDC dissemination group met, and
Dr. Lynda Anderson is preparing a summary of each project on intervention
materials that have been developed, the phase the products are in, and
the purposes of the materials. Each of these summaries will be distributed
to the project technical advisors for corrections. Dr. Folger also reported
that Dr. Anderson is going to explore resource availability with Dr. Lynda
Doll, and perhaps working through the PRC office for across the board dissemination
plan for all the projects. Dr. Folger reported that she had requested that
one of the ENDOW investigators present to the NCCDPHP director covering
an overview of ENDOW focusing on intervention materials and future directions.
Dr. Lewis volunteered to do this; however, the April 3rd date is not available.
Another date will be found. Data management and analysis: Version 4: Dr.
McCreath reported that version 4 of the data set correcting the HRT use
for Texas was distributed. Archiving: Dr. McCreath reported that the CC

Dr. Hendrix emailed her yesterday. She received a message from Dr. Antonia
Spadaro stating that during a WHI phone conference they decided that PI's
should take the initiative for submitting papers to the Clinical Journal
of Women's Health. Dr. Lewis stated that perhaps papers should be submitted
however, she isn't sure if a whole special issue should be devoted to ENDOW.
If we wished to do so, the papers would need to be finished at the same
time. A possible list of proposed papers would be: The HRT paper The Alternatives
paper The hysterectomy paper Dr. Herman reported that she has a student
who submitted an abstract to APHA on New Mexico HRT. She is going to present
a similar version at the APA meeting and might be a possibility for a paper
in the Clinical Journal of Women's Health. News item: There will be a news
item in the March issue of the Clinical Journal of Women's Health focusing
on the ENDOW video. Booklets: Dr. Lewis stated that Dr. Hendrix is considering
using some pages in the back of the Clinical Journal of Women's Health
for patient education materials that people would be able to acc ess. Dr.
Lewis will discuss in further detail with Dr. Hendrix how to publish the
ENDOW booklets on these pages. Journal of Health Education and Behavior:
Dr. Folger reported that the last time she talked to Dr. Doll, they were
still planning to do something in the journal, but no other information
is presently available JAMWA: Dr. Lewis stated that Dr. Richter was working
on a paper but isn't sure if she will make the deadline of February 15,
2001. SOPHE: Trena reported that the abstract for the SOPHE deadline regarding
video development (all centers represented) was not submitted. North American
Primary Care Research Group: Dr. Groff stated that she is submitting the
pilot evaluation data to the North American Primary Care Research Group.
The deadline is April 25, 2001. The audience is made up of internists and
primary care doctors who come and present original research in clinical
and education, mainly clinical. Future ENDOW Presentations American Psychological
Association: Dr. Lewis reported that the American Psychological Association
proposal for a 3-hour CME workshop session in October, 2001 was accepted.
However, Dr. Herman reported that Renae Royak-Schaler of the planning committee
wants ENDOW to do the 3-hour session as well as a 90-minute summary presentation
during the conference, for those who could not attend the 3-hour pre-conference
seminar. Each 3-hour CME session requires objectives to be developed. Dr.
Lewis reported that Trena circulated the CME objectives that were used
for the "Community Prevention Research on Women's Health Conference" and
would like for everyone to look these over and suggest revisions. Dr. Lewis
reported that Renae Royak-Schaler requested CVs on everyone who might be
presenting because of the CME credit. Trena reported that she emailed CVs
for everyone listed on the original abstract submission form to Renae last
week. Submitted tentative program: Overview and design -- C Lewis Summary
of qualitative data -- L Pulley Dr. Pulley wasn't on the committee and
doesn't feel comfortable presenting. Dr. Groff suggested asking Dr. Theresa
Byrd to present if she has time. She will follow-up with Dr. Byrd. Summary
of survey data Menopause -- H McCreath Hysterectomy -- R McKeown Hormone
Replacement Therapy -- C Herman Decision-making -- J Groff Intervention
approach, materials development, and demonstration -- D Richter Summary
of intervention evaluation -- C Cornell Conclusions -- C Lewis Dr. Lewis
stated that the presentations on the outline should be developed at the
April meeting in Santa Fe, including objectives. 4th International Symposium
on Women's Health and Menopause, Washington, DC, May 19-23, 2001: Dr. Lewis
reported that NHLBI, the Office of Research on Women's Health, the North
American Menopause Society, Cornell University Medical College and Giovanni
Lorenzini Medical Foundation are sponsoring this symposium. ORWH is sponsoring
a session at the symposium and asked to include ENDOW. Dr. Lewis reported
that an abstract was submitted to Dr. Finnegan for a 15-20 minute presentation.
During this presentation a brief overview of the project will be given,
so that more time can be spent on the intervention materials developed,
since many of the attendees might be very interested in seeing these interventions.
The purpose of the meeting is to update physicians and other healthcare
professionals on recent research in the field of women's health and menopause.
Dr. Lewis reported that a discussion would be held at the April meeting
regarding presentation content. Study Timeline: Progress reports: All study
final progress reports are due to the CDC PRC office 60-90 days after the
end of the extension period. Intervention materials: The committee agreed
that the ENDOW intervention materials are usable, the actual impact of
there use is not known. There is not a formal evaluation; however, we do
know that women really like them. Dr. Lewis stated that the "Wise Woman
Guide to Decision Making" and "Talking to Your Doctor" developed by Texas
are very good and have been used in all four sites. Dr. Groff reported
that in Texas these booklets have been used with women reviewing them on
their own Vs training facilitators to go through the booklets with them.
Dr. Groff reported that 500 were originally printed. 50 booklets were distributed
at the "Community Prevention Research in Women's Health Conference". 35-50
booklets were mailed to people who requested them at the "Community Prevention
Research in Women's Health Conference". Persons calling from as far away
as Alaska have requested booklets and Dr. Groff stated that she talks to
these people informing them that she has no way of telling how effective
they are. Dr. Groff also reported that the Susan J. Koman Foundation in
Houston is looking at the booklets to see if they want to use them with
breast cancer patients or if they want to ask us to modify them. Dr. Lewis
reported that the CC is getting bids for having copies of these booklets
printed, and more copies of the video made, so that we could then supply
them and charge a nominal fee for those who request them. The CC will develop
an order form to be passed out when investigators present ENDOW data, if
someone wants to order our intervention materials. Awards: The ENDOW video
has won another award entitled a "CINDY" award: "International Cinema in
Industry Award". Out of 3400 entries from 28 country for the 42nd "Cindy,"
we were in the top 15%. Future conference Calls: Friday, March 9, 2001
conference call will be at 11:00 am CST. Future meetings: April 23-24,
2001, at the Hotel St. Francis, in Santa Fe, New Mexico with emphasis on

session Discuss publications - individual presentations regarding papers
in progress or future proposals. Dr. Herman will present the HRT paper.
Dr. McKeown will present the menopause paper. Dr. Lewis will present the
hysterectomy paper. Dr. Groff will present the decision-making paper. Dr.
Ri chter will present data submitted to the JAMWA. Discuss intervention
evaluation data Discuss strategies to publish these data. Discuss the possibility
of a paper in the development and evaluation of the video. Discuss future
directions Miscellaneous: Trena reported that Dr. Groff emailed the AHRQ
published findings article entitled "Too many hysterectomies are still
being done". Dr. Herman will ask her student to attend the ENDOW meeting
in April to present her APA presentation. M010309 ENDOW Steering Committee
Conference Call March 9, 2001 Attendees: Beth Lewis, Dale Williams, Carol
Cornell, and Trena Johnsey, University of Alabama at Birmingham; Carla
Herman, University of New Mexico; Suzanne Folger, CDC, Jan Groff, University
of Texas-Houston, Robert McKeown, University of South Carolina The minutes
from the February 2, 2001 steering committee conference call were approved
with minor corrections. CDC up-date: Dr. Folger reported Dr. Lewis had
agreed to present on June 26, 2001 to the NCCDPHP director an overview
of ENDOW focusing on intervention materials and future directions. Dr.
Folger reported that the 2002 Chronic Disease Conferenc e is going to have
a track on health disparities. Dr. Folger is also participating in a border
health group which will have a panel discussion on border health. Dr Folger
wondered if the El Paso Hispanic women were from the border and if Drs
Groff and Byrd would be interested in this. Dr. Folger will contact Drs
Groff and Byrd about the border results in Texas and see if they want to
be involved with this discussion. 1% of extramural funding is set aside
for evaluation activities through the CDC Office of Program Planning and
Evaluation. Dr. Folger reported that she has called Kathy Cahill, the director,
to see if this option is available to fund further research on the evaluation
materials and is awaiting a reply. The request for applications will come
out in late spring. Data management and analysis: Version 4: Dr. Williams
reported Dr. McCreath had received no inquires concerning version 4 of
the dataset. Archiving procedures: Dr. Williams reported that Dr. McCreath
wants to have a discussion at the Santa Fe meeting regarding archiving
to make sure that everyone is aware of the procedures and their status
and is comfortable with the plan. Intervention activities: Dr. McKeown
reported that a few workshops were done in Beaufort and they will try to
schedule more; however they will not be able to use anyone who was previously
trained. The person who worked on developing the SC materials will conduct
the workshops in Columbia, and he hopes to finish by the end of April.
Dr. McKeown also reported that the files in the Beaufort office have been
lost so response rates will be more difficult to assess. Since the mailings
had to be supplemented with other recruitment techniques, some of the people
were volunteers, and some of them would have been part of the mailed samples.
This has to be sorted out. Publications: Manuscript possibilities: The
HRT paper - Dr. McCreath is presently working on analysis for Dr. Herman.
The alternatives paper - Dr. Lewis reported that this paper has been forwarded
to the co-autho rs for comments today. The hysterectomy paper - Dr. Lewis
reported that a meeting was held with a CC analyst. The analysis is basically
done, but the tables will have to be reformatted and perhaps a couple of
models developed. Dr. Lewis questioned whether the HRT, Alternatives and
Hysterectomy papers could be done as companion papers for the Clinical
Journal of Women's Health? Dr. Lewis will contact Dr. Sue Hendrix to see
if this is a possibility. Update: Dr. Hendrix would be delighted to consider
these papers. News item: There will be a news item in the March issue of
the Clinical Journal of Women's Health focusing on the ENDOW video. Booklets:
Dr. Lewis stated that Dr. Hendrix is considering using some pages in the
back of the Clinical Journal of Women's Health for patient education materials
that people would be able to access. Dr. Lewis will discuss in further
detail with Dr. Hendrix how to publish the ENDOW booklets on these pages.
(Still a future possibility.) Journal of Health Education and Behavior:
Dr. Folger reported that the last time she talked to Dr. Doll, they were
still planning to do something in the journal, but no other information
is presently available - No update. JAMWA: Trena reported that Dr. Richter
will not make the February 15, 2001 deadline, however, the deadline has
been extended. A draft paper is ready and will be circulated for review
in the next week. North American Primary Care Research Group: Dr. Groff
stated that she is submitting the intervention pilot evaluation data to
the North American Primary Care Research Group. The deadline is April 25,
2001. The audience is made up of internists and primary care doctors who
come and present original research in clinical and education, mainly clinical.
Health Promotion Practice: Dr. Cornell reported that she received an email
about an issue being develop for the next year on "Eliminating Racial and
Ethnic Health Disparity: Mapping a Course for Community Action and Research".
Dr. Cornell suggested exploring the possibility for publication with a
deadline of May 1, 2001. - No further up-date available. Future ENDOW Presentations
American Psychological Association: Dr. Lewis reported that she had received
notice from the American Psychological Association that ENDOW will have
a 90-minute session from 4:30 - 6:00 PM on Thursday, October 4, 2001. The
3-hour CME workshop session will be on Thursday, October 4, 2001 in the
evening and will be a show and tell format. Dr. Herman reported that she
has not received any further information, because they are in the process
of naming the workshops now. Dr. Lewis will email the tentative agenda
to the committee today. Objectives: Dr. Lewis reported that Trena circulated
the CME objectives that were used for the "Community Prevention Research
on Women's Health Conference" and would like for everyone to look these
over and suggest revisions suitable for the APA session. These will be
developed in Santa Fe. CV's: Trena reported that all the CV's have been
forwarded to Renae Royak-Schaler for the APA presentation. Drs. Goetz and
Byrd will have to send their CVs to Trena since they will be presenting.
Submitted tentative program: The following highlighted changes were made
to the APA 90 minute presentation tentative program: Overview and design
-- C Lewis Summary of qualitative data -- Dr. Byrd to be substituted for
Dr. Pulley Summary of survey data Menopause -- H McCreath Hysterectomy
-- R McKeown - Dr. McKeown reported that the October presentation was a
take off of Dr. Lewis hysterectomy paper, but before that a menopause presentation
was done. Dr. McKeown reported that he had been looking at other issues
such as the SF 12, and a Fatalism scale used by SC as it related to decision-making.
The result was that not much related to decision-making as it did to the
timing of a hysterectomy. Women who had ill-timed hysterectomies had more
Fatalistic attitudes. Dr. McKeown stated that his presentation would be
along these lines as related to menopause hysterectomy? across all sites
usi ng the SF 12. Hormone Replacement Therapy -- Teresa Goetz PhD will
present instead of Dr. Herman on "how well women are informed about HRT
and Menopause' using the NM data. Decision-making -- J Groff Intervention
approach, materials development, and demonstration -- D Richter Summary
of intervention evaluation -- C Cornell Conclusions -- C Lewis 4th International

Call Minutes January 29, 1999 @ 11:00 am CST Attendees: Dr. Robert McKeown,
and Donna Richter, University of South Carolina; Dr. Carla Herman, Ina
Bawaya, University of New Mexico; Dr. Jan Groff, University of Texas -
Houston, Suzanne Folger, CDC, Dr. Beth Lewis, Dr. Dale Williams, Dr. Carol
Cornell, Dr. Roma Williams, and Trena Johnsey, University of Alabama at
Birmingham. I. Agenda: Publications Committee - Beth Lewis Approval of
APHA abstract submissions -- Beth Lewis Hysterectomy in a multiethnic sample
of women: The ENDOW Study - Lewis Ethnic and geographic variation in women’s
use and attitudes toward hormone replacement therapy - Herman Decision
making - Groff Menopause - McKeown The ENDOW Study: Ethnicity, Needs, Decisions
of Women (Session Proposal)- Lewis Miscellaneous Up-date on February Prevention
Center meeting - Trena Johnsey II. Abstract discussion: A. Hysterectomy
in a multiethnic sample of women: The ENDOW study - Lewis The abstract
was approved with suggested changes. Issues discussed: Dr. Groff asked
if the Texas data was included in the denominator? Dr. Lewis stated Texas
was not included because did not have hysterectomized participants. Dr.
Groff said that it would be interesting to look at the prevalence of symptoms
of women who had not had a hysterectomy in the presentation. Dr. Herman
stated the Navajo data could be presented at the meeting as long as approval
was granted even if it is not included in the abstract. B. Ethnic and geographic
variation in women’s use and attitudes toward hormone replacement therapy
- Herman Abstract was provisionally approved with suggested changes, pending
Dr. McCr eath’s check of N’s. 3rd and 4th sentences the numbers don’t match,
"2,413 completed the survey, 200 had never head of HRT and then you say
of the remaining 1,943". Don’t use overall numbers. Dr. McCreath will check
the numbers this afternoon and email Dr. Herman. Dr. McCreath also stated
that not all the women between the ages of 40-64 completed the items regarding
HRT and that may be why the numbers don’t match. C. Women’s Preferences
for Involvement in Medial Care: The ENDOW Study - Groff Dr. Groff stated
that the abstract is based on decision-making and information seeking scales
used in Alabama and Texas. Would like to include the hysterectomy vignettes,
but denominator becomes the issue since each site asked a different hysterectomy
vignette. Abstract provisionally approved with suggested changes, pending
resolution of analysis issue. Dr. Williams stated that there is no data
for the vignette score, and since that is a mean instead of a p-value,
it will be left out if not dealt with. Dr. Groff stated that she will leave
it out if she and Dr. McCreath can not solve the analyses issue. Dr. Groff
will add the standard deviations for these scores. D. A Cross-Cultural
Study of Attitudes Toward Menopause: The ENDOW Study or Attitudes Toward
Menopause in a Multi-ethnic Sample: The ENDOW Study - McKeown Abstract
approved with suggested changes. E. The ENDOW Study: Ethnicity, Needs,
Decisions of Women - Proposed Special Interest Session - Lewis, Folger
In publication this abstract will be shorter since the schedule and titles
of the presenters will be deleted. Abstract approved with suggested changes.
III. Abstract discussion related to all abstracts: A. Explanation of abstract
submission: Dr. McKeown explained the relationship between the session
abstract proposal and the 4 individual abstracts and the talk itself. The
overall proposal abstract tells the program planners that this is a group
of presentations that belong together in the same session. Each abstract
should be able to stand alone, in case the session proposal is not accepted
the individual abstract can still be presented. B. Preliminary Data: Dr.
McCreath stated that all of these abstracts have preliminary data, since
the final South Carolina data have not been received, and the data have
been completely cleaned. The committee decided to include the following
statement "preliminary analyses of these results" in all abstracts. Dr.
Groff stated that when Dr. McCreath did the analyses for the Texas abstract,
she found Texas results were different. Dr. McCreath explained that she
and Ms. Lange had already resolved a large problem with the coding and
have agreed the overall mean for Texas, but still have slight differences
on a standardized scale. Dr. McCreath stated that there are slight differences
in the way that ethnicity was coded or that there are a few people whose
scores did not get matched up exactly. IV. Miscellaneous: February 1, 1999

Terrace, Atlanta, GA February 2, 1999 Study Group meeting Sheraton Colony
Square, Atlanta, GA, Marietta Room 8:00 am - 12:00 Noon Intervention Committee
Meeting Georgia Terrace, Atlanta, Ga Attendees: Dr. Jan Groff, and Adriana
Linares University of Texas - Houston, Dr. Carol Cornell, Dr. Beth Lewis
and Trena Taylor Johnsey, University of Alabama at Birmingham, Dr. Donna
Richter, University of South Carolina I. Agenda: Work on video grid developed
in June of 1998 Discuss regional accents Intervention plans for other things
other than video II. Video discussion: The committee decided that "Hysterectomy,
The Decision is Yours" is still the best angle. Communicating with providers
- this video should encourage women to develop a list of questions to ask
their doctor regarding important issues in their lives. The provider/doctor
should be made aware that patients are being encouraged to ask questions
and make lists. The committee decided that a narrator would be used, either
by voic e over or on screen. Ideally, the narrator should be someone that
is representative and respected by all women. Suggestions for the English
video are: Oprah Winfrey, Rosie O'Donnell, Felicia Rashad, and Whooppi
Goldberg. For the Spanish video Christina, someone from the Spanish news
station. Another approach would be the voices of many women. The committee
decided that the video should explain how to approach their doctor, but
not to bash the doctor. This video should be stand alone and also used
in doctor's offices. A discussion guide should be developed to accompany
the video. Women should feel free to take the video home for review. III.

July 15 - August 31, 1999 Editing (Hall-Foushee) September Testing (Committee/assistance
by Hall-Foushee) September Changes for final copy IV. Regional Accents:
The committee decided the regional accents are very important and should
be shot on location at one or more of the sites. African-American women
depicted should be from the South and Mexican-American women should be
used for Spanish. V. Other interventions: •Brochures: should be staged
and contain information can be up-dated periodically, but still tailored
to decision making and how to interact with your doctor on a day-to-day
basis. •Decision balance sheets are transitional and should be used in
brochures as well as community workshop kits to explain the decision making
process. First step is developing a list of the pro's and con's and then
explaining how to use the information that is listed or to explain certain
medical terms in lay words. •Physician education piece: The physician education
piece should be developed to educate doctors that women may be approaching
them with lists of questions regarding their decision on whether to have
a hysterectomy. These classes would allow physicians to be aware that ENDOW
has developed a video as well as other intervention materials which are
being circulated in their communities. These classes could be presented
as CMEs, as grand rounds presentations and perhaps as curriculum for residents.
Flip charts can be developed by the intervention committee and used to
educate others. •Malpractice angle: Is one of patient doctor communication.
If a patient feels that they have a relationship with their doctor in which
they can ask questions and the doctor will listen and answer their questions
than they are satisfied and satisfied patients don't sue. •Partner information:
Could be developed in brochures or flyers explaining what a women faces
regarding the decision making process. •Provider Add: Providing information
to medical students through grand rounds, CME's and seminars which would
teach residents how to communicate with patients. Materials could be developed
based on focus group data. •Community based workshops: These kits could
be used by community health leaders to lead support groups after initial
training by the invention committee . These kits would be developed by
the intervention committee with reference materials such as decisional
balance sheets, educational booklets, flip charts etc. These classes could
be conducted as 1 day or multiple day workshops. VI. Conference calls:
Friday, February 12, 1999 @ 10:00 CST Friday, February 26, 1999 @ 10:00
CST M99020~2 MINUTES: STUDY COMMITTEE MEETING Attendees: Dr. Robert McKeown,
and Donna Richter, University of South Carolina; Ina Bawaya, and Dr. Clo
Mingo, University of New Mexico; Dr. Jan Groff, Dr. Pat Dolan-Mullen, Dr.
Guillermo Tortolero, Adriana Linares, University of Texas - Houston, Suzanne
Folger, CDC, Dr. Beth Lewis, Dr. Dale Williams, Dr. LeaVonne Pulley, Dr.
Carol Cornell, and Trena Johnsey, University of Alabama at Birmingham.
I. Agenda: 1. Review and approve minutes from 1/8/99 conference call -
Beth Lewis CDC up-date - Suzanne Folger Review project timelines - Beth
Lewis Data Management and Analysis Subcommittee report - Dale Williams
Intervention Committee report - Donna Richter Publications Committee -
Beth Lewis Future planning, spin-off projects - Beth Lewis, Jan Groff Future
meetings and conference call schedules - Beth Lewis II. The minutes from
the January 8, 1999 conference call were approved without corrections.
III. Review project timelines: Dr. Lewis reported that Alabama, New Mexico
and Texas had completed the survey process and transferred all data to
the coordinating center. Video development should be completed by Hall
and Foushee by the end of year 4 and focus groups with regard to intervention
development should have begun already or are being planned. IV. Up-date
on data analysis/management: Dr. Williams reported Dr. McCreath should
have a completed data set by March 15, 1999 excluding the open-ended questions
and by mid - Summer a final data set would be available with all issues
regarding the scales, and open-ended questions resolved. Dr. McKeown reported
that South Carolina had completed 50 more surveys last week and after double
entering and validating the data, these surveys would be transferred to
the coordinating center by February 15, 1999. •Data transfers: Dr. Williams
reported that the coordinating center would begin full editing of all the
transferred data the week of February 1, 1999 in order to meet the above
deadline. Final data set: Once the data set has been finalized (except
for the remaining scale development and open-ended items), it will be distributed
by the coordinating center to the sites for review. Action Item: Each site
will then compare the final core data set for validity. Dr. McKeown explained
that since the South Carolina survey was a stratified sample of randomly
selected mailings which did not yield the African-American participants
in Buford and Jasper Counties, advertising was developed (call in's and
referrals by word of mouth) yielded well educated whites and the community
contacts (such as prominent figures in the community) yielded the greatest
number of low-income African-American women. •Medical history table/scale
scoring: •Outcome expectancy scale: Is an algorithm scale going to be developed?
Drs. Groff and Pulley reported that they were working on this scale and
would contact Dr. McCreath for information as needed. Action Item: Dr.
Folger will arrange for Dr. Sam Posner, a cognitive psychologist to consult
with the ENDOW project on the best way to proceed with both individual
site and cross site analysis of the outcome expectancy scales for HRT and
Hysterectomy. •Social support scale: Dr. McKeown reported that he and Dr.
McCreath were developing this scale at present, but since a different number
of questions was asked at each site a decision needed to be made on how
to approach the scale. Action Item: The committee decided to develop a
Z-score based on site specific data. •Open-ended text: Last question of
the survey, "What should a women know" Dr. McKeown reported that the coding
for this question was not complete due to the truncated list of responses.
At 1st pass, 20 codes were developed from the readable responses and returned
to the coordinating center. Of the 1,500 responses "options and alternatives"
appeared more than any other code, however, their meaning still needs to
be determined. Dr. McKeown proposed the foll owing way of handling these
responses. •The 1,500 responses should be sorted by the 20 codes and then
distributed to each site for review. If the responses are handled this
way who will distribute them? Dr. McKeown stated that South Carolina gathered
exactly what the participant said during the interview, but when data entry
took place made each comment a separate variable. Action Item: Dr. McKeown
will send this spread sheet to coordinating center who will then send 20%
to Texas for inter-rater reliability. After completion Texas will return
their categories to the coordinating center who will then compare both
sets. Remaining Open-ended questions: 1. What is the most important issue
for the intervention committee, to have a raw list or to have a grouping
prepared from the raw list for future data issues? 2. Review list and priority
responses and have someone go through for inter-rater reliability. Action
Item: The coordinating center will send all additional text responses as
well as those that were truncated to the investigators assigned. Action
Item: The investigator will then return their coded responses to the coordinating
center. After all responses are coded, the coordinating center will send
20% of the responses to a site different from the one that originally processed
the item. The second site will develop categories for the responses and
return to the coordinating center. Action Item: The coordinating center
will then compare the two category lists and determine if they are comparable.
Once the category set for a given item has been finalized, Ms. Houser will
code a random 20% of responses using the categories to determine inter-rater
reliability. Analysis: The study group committee held a discussion concerning
the expectation of publications for upcoming year. Action Item: Once the
final data set is distributed to all sites, analyses should be done locally
and then sent to the coordinating center for verification. Table of items:
The coordinating center is compiling a table to show what qu estions were
asked by all sites. This table will include differences in response formats,
to allow investigators to easily determine which data is available for
analysis at each site. Action Item: The coordinating center will distribute
the table to the sites upon completion. V. Intervention committee up-date:
Video production: Dr. Richter reported that video development had begun
and that the intervention committee had received the following deadlines
from Hall-Foushee after conducting the 1st conference call with Nancy Hall.
February 1- 8, 1999 Script discussions (Hall-Foushee/intervention committee)
February 9-22, 1999 Writing content outlines and creative treatments (Hall-Foushee)
February 22- March 1, 1999 Approve content and creative outlines (Committee)
March 1-9, 1999 Shooting testimonials (Hall-Foushee with arrangements made
by site staff) March 9-21, 1999 Transcriptions of testimonials - both sides
(contracted out) (Nancy on vacation March 10-19, 1999) March 22-April 23
1999 Writing 1st draft of both scripts (Hall-Foushee) April 23 - May 3,
1999 Approve 1st drafts (Committee) May 3 - 14, 1999 Writing final drafts
(Hall-Foushee) May 14- 24, 1999 Approval final drafts (Committee) May 24
- July 15, 1999 Shooting and narration (Hall-Foushee) July 15 - August
31, 1999 Editing (Hall-Foushee) September Testing (Committee/assistance
by Hall-Foushee) September Changes for final copy Dr. Richter gave a synopsis
of the discussion with Nancy Hall: 2 videos, 15 minutes each would be developed
(1 English and 1 Spanish) using the theme "Hysterectomy, The Decision is
Yours". These videos could be similar in script and footage but featuring
culturally appropriate characters, events, situations and settings. Ms.
Hall proposed the question "Are regional accents important"? The decision
was made by the intervention committee that southern African-American and
Mexican-American accents for Spanish would be used. The intervention committee
decided that a narrator would be used, either by voice over or on scree
n and ideally should be someone that is representative and respected by
all women. Examples: Oprah Winfey, Rosie O'Donnell, Felicia Rashad, or
Whoopie Goldberg The intervention committee decided that the video should
tell women how to approach their doctor, but not to bash the doctor. This
video should be stand-alone and be used in doctor's offices as well as
women being able to view on their own. Other Intervention materials: The
intervention committee decided that the following types of interventions
should be developed in addition to the video. a. Community based kits:
These kits would be used by community health leaders in leading support
groups after initial training by the invention committee . All information
within these kits would be developed by the intervention committee with
reference materials such as decisional balance sheets, educational booklets,
flip charts etc. Educational classes for the use of these kits would be
conducted as 1 day or multiple day workshops. b. Brochures: Brochures should
be staged and contain information that is updated periodically, but still
tailored to decision making and how to interact with your doctor on a day-to-day
basis. A brochure could contain a decisional balance sheet which would
allow one to list the pro's and con's of the decision making process and
then explain how to use the information that is received. c. Physician
education piece: This intervention should be developed to educate doctors
on how to be receptive and respond to women who may be approaching them
with a list of questions regarding their decision or whether to have a
hysterectomy. These classes would allow the physicians to be aware that
the ENDOW project has developed a video as well as other intervention materials
which are being circulated in their communities. These classes could be
presented as CMEs, as grand rounds presentations and perhaps as curriculum
for residents. VI. Publications committee: Journal of Women's Health: Dr.
Richter reported that all the individual site papers had b een received
and miscellaneous corrections had been made. Drs. Richter and Galavotti
are working on the introduction and summary piece for the journal and should
be able to submit within the next couple of weeks. APHA submission: The
deadline for APHA submissions is February 3, 1999. All four abstracts and
1 panel discussion abstract will be submitted for the November 1999 meeting
in Chicago, Ill. Publication decisions regarding manuscripts: Action Item:
The study committee decided that lead authors would determine whether an
author is dropped from the manuscript or the authorship order is changed
due to lack of contribution toward manuscript preparation. Action Item:
The study committee decided that site specific papers would be analyzed
locally and then sent to the coordinating center for validation. VII. Future
planning, spin-off projects: The study committee discussed the prospect
of submitting to AHCPR for additional funding for intervention implementation
and decided that this process should be done as a group. The following
options were discussed since AHCPR has a $500,000 rule. Submit a large
grant to test all invention materials developed following completion of
ENDOW funding Submit a smaller grant consisting of a provider piece and
data gathering. This would consist of a medical education piece within
the community and propose data collection with providers using the autonomy
preference scale with GYN's and others. Submit a smaller grant evaluating
the dissemination of the video and related materials such as brochures.
Brochure development should be done by October 1, 1999 using reproductive
health care choices of post-menopausal women (hysterectomy, HRT or menopause)
concentrating on a vulnerable populations. Action Item: The study committee
decided that the grant should be written regarding follow-up intervention
as a group. It was determined that specific aims should be developed along
with a budget and then submitted to AHCPR for permission using the ENDOW
project as pilot data. Ideas for t his grants could be trying to access
the consumer side with outcome expectation or just being satisfied with
one's healthcare in general. Action Item: The study committee decided to
submit this larger grant this time next year and do additional pieces as
small segments at a later date. VIII. Future meetings and conference calls:
Future meetings: Tuesday - Wednesday, May 11- 12, 1999 or Monday - Tuesday,
May 24-25, 1999 Galveston, Texas Action Item: Trena will determine which
are better days via email and then proceed to set up meeting. Future conference

No additions were made to the agenda. III. The minutes fr om the February
2, 1999 Study Group Committee meeting in Atlanta, GA were approved without
corrections. IV. Up-date on survey progress: Dr. McCreath reported that
Dr. McKeown had sent the South Carolina data excluding 30 to 50 surveys
that are still in the field; however, data collection is finished. VI.
Up-date on data analysis/management activities: Survey data: Dr. McCreath
reported that the coordinating center had received the final data from
South Carolina and is compiling a final cleaned data set to be available
for distribution on April 1, 1999. This, however, will not include the
re-coded open-ended items and some scale scoring. The coordinating center
will include as documentation a table that summarizes all the items asked
at each site and will specify for some of the symptom items where those
were asked. Open-ended coding: Dr. McKeown reported that he would be sending
the truncated items sometime next week. Dr. McCreath stated the following
plan would be used: each investigator who has agreed to code will code
the entire set of responses. If the set of responses is large enough, the
coordinating center will send out a subset; if it is small, the coordinating
center will send the entire set again to another investigator to develop
a list of categories. The coordinating center then will compare the two
categories to see if there is good concordance. If there is, the coordinating
center will then get Shannon Houser at UAB to do the 20% inter -rater reliability.
Verification: Dr. McCreath is compiling a set of instructions for programmers
and authors. These instructions will explain the verification process;
however, Dr. McCreath asked for clarification on what the coordinating
center 's role would be regarding verification of the core data. Dr. Lewis
instructed Dr. McCreath to look at the publication guidelines for clarification.
Action Item: Dr. McCreath will compile the verification instructions for
programmers and authors based on the publication guidelines. Site-specific
Table: Dr. McCreath is compiling a table showing all the different types
of data collected. This table will specify which sites collected provider
data, clinic data, partner data, as well as overall survey data. SF 12
Scoring: Thanks to Dr. Pulley the SF 12 scoring has been confirmed. Data
management/data analysis role: Dr. McCreath would like for everyone to
think about how the data committee can help with planning and evaluating
the intervention and discuss this at the May meeting. V. Intervention Committee
Report: Dr. Cornell reported that the intervention committee had a conference
call with Nancy Hall to discuss the content outline for the upcoming video.
Video taping began the week of March 1, 1999 in South Carolina with individual
interviews. The committee discussed specific guidelines for whom she should
interview while in South Carolina. Dr. Cornell explained how Ms. Hall is
going to take the interview content from South Carolina and build the detailed
script. After completing the detailed script, Ms. Hall will send to the
intervention committee for review and from that Ms. Hall will work with
New Mexico and Texas to develop the Spanish script. Presently other types
of intervention activities are being conducted at each site. Alabama is
trying to get focus groups up and running to find out what types of interventions
women want. South Carolina has conducted several focus groups and will
be meeting with their Community Advisory board in two weeks to get their
input. VI. CDC/Office of Women's Health up-date: Dr. Lewis stated that
she emailed the up-date this morning including abstracts, publications,
center-specific and not and would like for everyone to review and make
comments. VII. Publications committee: Dr. Lewis reported that it was her
understanding that the special issue papers had been sent to the Journal
of Women's Health. The APHA abstracts have been submitted and we are awaiting
news. Dr. Lewis reported that Pat Riley forwarded an email from Dr. Loretta
Finnegan calling for abstracts for the Society fo r Public Health Education
meeting with deadline of March 17, 1999. Action Item: The committee decided
that they were not ready to submit at the present time since this meeting
deals with intervention. Dr. McCreath reported that all the APHA abstracts
and papers in progress could use the April 1, 1999 core data set for analysis.
Dr. McCreath also stated that since the APHA abstracts analysis would be
done at each site, she would send her programs to anyone who requested
them. VIII. AHCPR discussion: Dr. Lewis suggested that the committee continue
the discussion from the February meeting regarding AHCPR submission. 1)
Submit a large grant to test the intervention materials, 2) Submit a smaller
grant with a provider piece and to collect some data and 3) Submit a smaller
grant to disseminate the video. The deadlines for submission are the same
as NIH, February 1, June 1 and October 1. Action Item: The committee decided
that it would be best to submit this year due to the money allocation at
AHCPR. Further discussion will occur. IX. May Meeting: May 11-12, 1999,
Hotel Galvez in Galveston, Texas. Everyone can fly into Houston Hobby in
the afternoon on Monday, May 10, 1999 and Dr. Groff will arrange transportation
to Galveston. X. Agenda - May Meeting: General information regarding committee
up-dates (intervention, publication, data analysis) Discuss intervention

5, 1999 Study Group Committee conference call minutes were approved without
corrections. IV. Up-date on data analysis/management committee progress:
Dr. McCreath reported that data cleanup procedures are going well with
no major problems, and the center data is corresponding appropriately with
the correct variables. Sections 1-7 of the questionaire have been cleaned
and a completed data set will be distributed in about a week via the Web.
Navajo data: The committee decided that the Navajo data would not be distributed
with the final data set, but the coordinating center would create a separate
data set that corresponds in structure to the one that is distributed via
the web that contains only Navajo data. Action Item: The committee will
discuss guidelines and develop a plan to add disclaimers to all data including
Navajo at the Galveston meeting. Open-ended coding: Dr. McCreath reported
that the remaining open-ended responses without truncation along with individual
response sets and a schedule for how coding should be done will be distributed
to all investigators by April 5, 1999. Data management /data analysis role:
Dr. McCreath reported that the data analysis/management committee has been
discussing what role the committee needs to have with regard to the upcoming
interventions and evaluating the interventions. Further input is needed.
Data coordinating center : Dr. Lewis stated that the supplement from the
Office of Women's Health at CDC for the data analysis/data management activities
is due to run out in September, 1999. If there is any carryover, Dr. Lewis
will discuss with Pat Riley and Enrique Nieves and she will and explore
whether there is any funding available for the upcoming year, since data
collection has only recently been complete and since resources maybe needed
for Year 5 regarding intervention evaluation and further analyses of the
survey data. Action Item: Site should plan for their needs for the data
already collected and data needs for intervention evaluation VI. Up-date
on intervention committee activities: Video discussion: Dr. Linares reported
that Ms. Hall will visit Texas on April 21, 1999. Dr. Cornell reported
that the intervention committee had a conference call with Nancy Hall to
discuss the content outline for the upcoming video. Action Item: Trena
will schedule a conference call for the intervention committee the week
of April 5, 1999 to review the draft script. Video reproduction: Video
reproduction will cost $2.00 per copy and the number of copies will be
determined at completion of video process. ........ perhaps 20 original
master giving each site 1 English and 1 Spanish. Other interventions: Dr.
Cornell reported that Alabama will complete 4 to 8 focus groups using hysterectomized/non-hysterectomized
African-American and white women. Recruitment for these focus groups has
begun. Focus groups with African-American women will be conducted in the
next couple of weeks. Dr. Cornell reported that Ms. Hall could help in
the development of materials that would support the video. The committee
as a whole has had discussions about what could or should go into a brochure
a nd has had discussions about intervention evaluations, but no decisions
have been made. Action Item: The committee will have discussions at the
Galveston meeting in order to make plans for Year 5 intervention. Action
Item: The intervention committee will schedule another conference call
at the Galveston meeting. VII. Publications committee: Journal of Women's
Health supplement: Dr. Lewis reported that it was her understanding that
the special issue papers had been sent to the Journal of Women's Health.
Numerous emails have been received checking titles and an email was sent
today asking how many copies we will be requesting. APHA abstracts: Dr.
McKeown reported that the APHA abstracts were accepted as a special session.
Each abstract was criticized for different reasons for example, concerns
about sampling, response rates, definition of terms, and the level of detail
of results either too little or too much. The APHA website will reopen
on April 15, 1999 and everyone should be able to determine the official
status of your abstract. Special session time: Wednesday, November 10,
1999, 8:30-10:00 am. Action Item: The committee will begin working on presentations,
and all presentations will exclude Navajo data . Action Item: Dr. Herman
will bring Navajo analyses in table form to the Galveston Meeting and the
committee will discuss for future analyses. VIII. Dissertation request:
"Perceptions of well being: theorectical model of determinants among women
who have had a hysterectomy" Dr. Lewis discussed the need to make sure
that overlap does not occur. Dr. McKeown reported that all data would be
used except for Texas, because she wants to use women who have had hysterectomy.
Action Item: The committee decided to approve the proposal and if she wants
to publish from the dissertation, then she will need approval again from
the committee. IX. Future spin-off projects: Dr. Lewis stated that there
was interest in submitting to AHCPR, a permission letter would be needed
for over $500,000 in any year. Dr. McKeown re ported that AHCPR has been
advertising that they have monies available to researchers and have identified
that they are interested in vulnerable populations and shared decision
making. Action Item: The committee will discuss at the Galveston Meeting
developing a design, specific aims and budget in order to submit letter.

coding and will forward to the sites by the week of June 14. The next data
management/analysis conference call will be Wednesday, June 23, 1999 @
3:30 PM. The committee will begin to discuss issues of analysis as people
prepare for the APHA presentations and accompanying manuscripts ACTION
ITEM: Dr. McCreath will develop a table covering the number of surveys
done at each site and will forward to the PI=s to be included with their
renewal applications. ACTION ITEM: Dr. McCreath will develop an overall
table for the sites including all ethnicities on the core data and will
forward to the PI=s early next week. ACTION ITEM: Dr. McCreath will develop
a demographic table for the core dataset and forward to the PI=s. ACTION
ITEM: Dr. Lewis asked that all sites forward a copy of their renewal application
to the coordinating center. ITEM 4: Intervention committee report: Dr.
Cornell reported that Ms. Hall found two conceptual issues regarding video
production: The English language video has too many married women. Dr.
Cornell reported that Ms. hall placed a narrative from a single woman into
the video. The Spanish language video was too pro-hysterectomy. Dr. Cornell
reported that Ms. Hall is working on this issue. The intervention call
for final script approval will be on Monday, June 7, 1999 @ 1:00 PM. ACTION
ITEM: Dr. Lewis suggested that the intervention committee discuss with
Ms. Hall other modilities such as brochures that will help support the
video. A budget of $10,000 will be available for these other interventions.
Dr. Cornell stated that Ms. Hall stated that other interventions would
be needed to support the video and thought that they should overlap. ITEM
5: Publication committee report: Abstracts: The final dataset will be available
on the web so that each site may do their own analysis for the APHA presentations.
ACTION ITEM: Dr. McCreath will forward the SAS programs that were used
to each site to help with the analysis for the abstracts. ACTION ITEM:
Dr. Lewis requested that all investigators forward any changes or proposals
of major papers to the coordinating center within the next month so that
the publication grids will be current before the renewal deadline. ITEM
6: Intervention meeting discussion: The intervention meeting will be July
8-9, 1999 in Albuquerque, NM at the Rio Grande Best Western Old Town. ACTION
ITEM: Each site will bring to the intervention meeting a written intervention
protocol and evaluation plan, as well as recommendations for an evaluation
instrument and examples of materials. ACTION ITEM: Attendees should e-mail
Trena so that arrangements can be made. ITEM 7: Miscellaneous: Study group
conference call: The next study group conference call will be July 2, 1999
@ 11:00 AM. Study group meeting: The next study group meeting will be tentatively
scheduled for October 7-8, 1999 in Birmingham, Alabama. WEB site: Dr. Herman
reported that she e-mailed to the PI's information about an Otawa website
on decision making. This website contains information dealing with evaluation
measures and has an excellent literature review on decision aides. The
decision making instrument used was translated into French and Spanish,
but was mostly used with a white population and would like to have experience
in minority populations. Dr. Herman contacted them and they are interested
in working with us, sharing any of their instruments in order to work with
minorities. M99070~2 ENDOW Study Committee Conference Call July 2, 1999

dataset documentation are available on the web: a) General usage notes,
(naming conventions) b) Item by site table (summarizes all items asked
on every survey, which site asked and if anything is unusual about the
subpopulation or skip patterns), and c) the SAS program. The remaining
items would be available on the web by July 6, 1999, including site specific
surveys, core survey which will be a PDF file, and the methodology summaries
from each site. Open-ended coding: Dr. McCreath reported that open-ended
response coding was distributed to the appropriate investigators. The last
question "what a woman should know about hysterectomy" will be forwarded
to South Carolina on July 2, 1999. Investigators agreed to return open-ended
responses to Dr. McCreath at the coordinating center by August 2, 1999.
Quality Control: Dr. McCreath reported that she will discuss the procedure
for quality control on open-ended response subsets with Dr. Williams and
will distribute these files early next week The next data management/analysis
conference call will be Monday, August 19, 1999 @ 3:30 PM unless otherwise
determined by the committee. On this call the committee will begin to discuss
issues of analysis as people prepare for the APHA presentations and accompanying
manuscripts ITEM 4: Intervention committee report: Dr. Cornell stated that
each site should bring their site-specific intervention protocols for next
year including evaluation plans for intervention, any ideas for pre and
post core questions, ideas of where to pilot materials and ideas for supplemental
intervention materials in addition to the video. Please bring show and
tell items that possibly could be adapted for ENDOW. The goal of the intervention
meeting is to have a better understanding each sites intervention plans
for next year and to know the commonalties across sites so that the data
management committee will have a more concrete idea regarding data for
next year. Supplemental funding: Dr. Lewis reported that of the additional
$90,000 supplement to produce the video, approximately $11,000 remained
to fund additional intervention activities roughly $2,500 to each site.
Action Item: The intervention committee will develop a plan to spend the
remaining $11,000 within this fiscal year. Logo: New Mexico, South Carolina,
and Texas all have logos which represent their site-specific study. Action
Item: Each site will bring their site-specific logos to the intervention
meeting, at which time a definite logo will be developed for the study.
Budgets: Dr. Lewis reported that Year 5 budgets are due on July 23, 1999
at the CDC; however, she will be forwarding to her Prevention Center by
July 21, 1999 to be processed as part of the center application. Dr. Linares
reported that the PHS 2590 continuation forms should be used. Action Item:

M99078~1 ENDOW RESTRICTED AREA ENDOW Intervention Committee Meeting Thursday
and Friday, July 8-9, 1999 Albuquerque, New Mexico July 8, 1999 Attendees:
Dr. Carla Herman, and Ina Bawaya, University of New Mexico, Dr. Jan Groff,
Dr. Theresa Byrd, and Dr. Adriana Linares University of Texas - Houston,
Dr. Carol Cornell, and Dr. LeaVonne Pulley, University of Alabama at Birmingham,
Dr. Donna Richter, and Molly Greaney, University of South Carolina I. Journal
of Women’s Health Supplement: Dr. Richter reported that the special issue
of the Journal of Women’s Health’s would be published within the next three
months. Authors should receive referee's comments in th e next couple of
weeks. II. Video: New Mexico found in their Hispanic population that a
"thumbs up or down" was not recognized. Action Item: The committee agreed
to change the "thumbs up, thumbs down" to a "check or an X" in both the
English and Spanish videos. Translation: The intervention committee discussed
the problems of translating the Spanish video in detail. Action Item: The
committee decided that there would be a need to review the Spanish video
prior to final approval. Action Item: Dr. Linares will ask Hall-Foushee
to forward a copy of the Spanish video to Texas and New Mexico for translation
review. Closed captioned: Dr. Groff proposed to the committee the possibility
of including closed captioning on both the Spanish and English videos.
Action Item: The committee decided that closed captioning should be included
on both the English and Spanish videos. Action Item: Dr. Linares will asked
Hall-Foushee to prepare a quote for closed captioning and send to the coordinating
center to be processed. Video distribution: The intervention committee
discussed ideas of how and when to distribute the videos. Action Item:
The committee decided that the general interest of the video should be
decision-making and an evaluation plan was developed. (See attached). III.
Site-Specific Intervention Plans Each site presented their site-specific
intervention plans for Year 5 to the committee. A. Alabama: Drs. Cornell
and Pulley presented the following planed Alabama interventions for Year
5, pending resolution of budget issues. Participant intervention: Participant
intervention will include peer-facilitated workshops led by trained African-American
community health advisors, and will recruit African-American women from
both urban and rural areas of Alabama. Prior to development, a series of
focus groups will be conducted in these urban and rural areas to gather
information to support intervention. A minimum of four workshops and as
many as ten will be conducted and each participant will receive a $ 10.00
reimb ursement, a certificate of completion, refreshments and a T-shirt
for participation. Mini-provider intervention: If the budget permits, the
mini-provider intervention will allow medical professionals to obtain CME
credits for participation either by FAX or web site. This intervention
will focus on the skills women need to make decisions regarding healthcare
and how doctors can facilitate these skills. The BCCPP has conducted a
course similar to the mini-provider intervention using a video and fax.
B. South Carolina: Dr. Richter and Ms. Greany presented the following intervention
plans for Year 5 to the committee: Participant intervention: South Carolina
has developed a similar participant intervention plan to that of Alabama.
The focus groups conducted to support the intervention development found
that women wanted general health and decision making information and preferred
a health care provider. Based on the information from these focus groups,
the decision was made to develop a co-facilitators (peer and medical professionals)
intervention plan. They have already developed a draft facilitator’s guide
(see attached). A total of four workshops (2 African-American and 2 white)
will be conducted at a continuing education or community group center.
The evaluation plan has not yet been developed. Provider plan: South Carolina
will do a provider plan; details are still being developed. A paper comparing
what women said about patient-provider interactions to what providers said
is in preparation. Dr. Groff reported that she is collecting quantitative
information from doctors using a re-worded version of the autonomy-preference
index. The provider plan will be offered to providers through county medical
societies in a face-to-face setting. The question is whether this type
of intervention is more effective than a course using a fax return or the
web. C. Texas Workbook intervention: Texas reported that they have decided
to concentrate on what women are willing to do after an intervention, being
generic using hys terectomy and HRT as examples, but coming up with general
skills. A six step plan has been developed (see attached) to use with these
naturally occurring groups of women and comparing with individual self-instruction.
A budget for the participation of 300 women has been developed in pre and
immediate post evaluation, and follow-up. Focus groups will be done to
determine the needs and desires of women for intervention. A workbook will
be developed to include a decisional balance sheet and resources which
a peer would then deliver to women and encourage them to use. This intervention
would focus on patient/physician discussions, how information is retrieved,
and how to evaluate received information. Provider intervention: Texas
has not yet planned to conduct any intervention with providers, but would
be interested in a joint provider piece as discussed earlier. Possible
provider topics: Decision-making and communication with the physician.
D. New Mexico The New Mexico researchers reported that through participating
in health fairs, women who sign up to receive information are not interested
in learning about hysterectomy. They are still trying to evaluate the community
reaction to their collaborative efforts of newsletter development (see
attached) and radio talk show appearances. A site-specific brochure was
developed for distribution and they are in the process of developing a
web site that will include their information as well as links to other
sources of information that women can request. Both pre and post hysterectomy
focus groups are planned to pilot test the video within the Albuquerque
community, but is still having problems with the HMO setting. An interactive
CD on decision-making regarding HRT, herbs, etc is being developed and
will be pre-tested on 40 women in the pre and post phase of their decision.
At present, feedback is being gathered with women that come into the office
regarding the CD evaluation. Dr. Herman received from the Ottawa Health
Decision Center information regarding intervention development and encourages
all sites to use it. Another web site was found on decision making: http://www.thelancet.com/newlancet/sub/issues/vol353no9168/body.book1980.html
New Mexico has not planned a provider piece, but would be willing to participate
in a group piece. IV. Web-based CME: The intervention committee discussed
the possibility of a web based provider CME course offered through the
ENDOW Coordinating Center. Dr. Groff brought a workbook from the MD Anderson
Cancer Center at the University of Texas - Houston MD that could be helpful
in developing materials and providing necessary information to work with
HMOs, and decision-making, etc. The committee felt that a web based CME
course may be the most cost -effective way to get providers involved, as
well as developing interventions. The provider and participant intervention
pieces would be separate, but could be developed simultaneously including
information on shared decision making, communication with providers and
a message board. The goal of the web based CME provider piece would be
to get as many doctors involved as possible, but how to accomplish this
could be difficult. Publicity could be done at each ENDOW site, through
linking with other web sites and by mentioning in all published ENDOW articles.
The costs of maintaining the CME provider course would be difficult. Charging
providers would result in a need for the processing credit cards, or billing,
etc. If a charge is requested getting providers to pay is another issue
Decision: The intervention committee decided to develop the participant
phase and explore in more detail the CME provider portion of the web site.
Action item: Dr. Cornell will talk to coordinating center to determine
the cost of providing a CME service. Action item: The committee will explore
what if any cost a university would pay for provider CME course. V. Core
Materials and Evaluation Instruments: The intervention committee discussed
what would be the best ways to spend intervention supplement monies. The
conclusio ns were that brochures, decisional balance worksheets, provider
information sheets, resource directory, and web site evaluation would be
the most important types of interventions. 1. Brochures (video elaboration).
2. Workbook (interactive). 3. Decisional balance sheet (with examples that
were familiar). 4. Booklets to take to the practitioner visit (similar
to the NERI diary) that can be filled out reminding them to ask questions
and prepare for visit. 5. Skills for dealing with problems in interaction
with physician. 6. Anatomy visuals (2 dimensional and 3 dimensional if
possible). 7. Handouts on treatment options for various problems. 8. Website
development for women and CME credits (see the NM website at: http://hsc.unm.edu/epiccpro/endfrm2.html
for example of a website) VI. Brochures: The committee decided that the
developed brochures would support the video, but stand-alone. The brochures
would be available to "take home", re-stating the main points of the video
and would need to be useful for both women who have or have not seen the
video. The brochure design would be developed from images in the video.
The intervention committee went through the video script and highlighted
parts that would be beneficial in the brochure. They are as follows: Title
stays the same. Intro about hysterectomy decisions (One big decision…)
1. Most not due to life-threatening conditions, there is time to consider.
2. This doesn’t tell you what to decide 3. What’s best for you (page three
top) 4. The decision is yours but you’re not alone 5. Reasons for having
a hysterectomy (list the most common) 6. Sharing the decision with the
doctor (list from page 5) 7. Questions to ask doctor 8. Resources 9. Space
for clinic stamps if there is one. Action Item: Dr. Linares will send copies
of the relevant NERI materials to the intervention committee. Action Item:
Ms. Bawaya will forward information on the "Health-Wise" book to Trena
who will order one for each site. Action Item: The committee decided to
concentrate on having a rough draft brochure, which could be tested at
the same time as the video. Action Item: Dr. Cornell will contact Hall-Foushee
regarding brochure development information and obtaining a diskette copy
for future reference. The committee held an in depth discussion regarding
how to get doctors interested in receiving the developed intervention information.
Suggestions for doctor participation were awards or recognition. This could
be a possibility for future grant. VII. Suggestions/concerns: Dr. Groff
suggested that the intervention committee should look at Kate Lorig’s work
on interventions for chronic disease. A concern was raised by the committee
that the interventions should give women not only information on hysterectomy,
but also other alternatives that are available. VIII. T-shirts logo: The
intervention committee decided that the T-shirts would have the same logo
for all sites. Example: "The Decision is Mine" with all of the three site
logos above. ENDOW Meeting Continued on July 7, 1999 The intervention committee
discussed the need to develop other intervention materials. Decisional
balance sheet: The Texas group will draft a decisional balance sheet and
will distribute to all other sites for remarks. Video evaluation tools:
The committee decided that an evaluation instrument should be drafted to
test the video. This instrument should include (standard) demographics
including language of video, questions about comfort with the video for
the participant and her family members. Questions like "Who did you watch
it with?" "Do you have your own VCR? " "Where did you get the video?" "Was
it for someone like you?" Action Item: Dr. Richter will develop this video
evaluation tool and forward to the other sites for review. Dr. Cornell
stated that the videos would be available for pilot testing by end of summer,
but is unsure whether it will be a rough-cut or the final. The intervention
committee decided that each site would conduct at least four focus groups
to pilot test the video and the particip ants would be reimbursed from
site-specific budgets. Action Item: Dr. Richter will develop a focus group
guide to use with the video during pilot testing. Return to ENDOW home

Folger, CDC Review and approve minutes from July 2, 1999 study group conference
call: The minutes were approved without correction. ITEM 1: Up-date on
publication committee activities - Beth Lewis: Plans for APHA presentation
approval Dr. Lewis discussed the October meeting in Birmingham that will
focus primarily on the APHA Special Session presentations. Each 1st author
will present their presentation to the group for approval. Dr. Williams
reported that he and Dr. McCreath have pre-tested placing the APHA presentations
on the web. These presentations would be placed on the secured web site
with a disclaimer and all the appropriate indexing as long as created in
PowerPoint. Special Issue of the Journal of Women's Health Dr. Richter
reported that she had asked the editor, as to why only 3 articles had been
reviewed to date. Dr. Healy replied to Dr. Richter's email saying that
she had resigned as editor, and the Editorial office is being transferred
to Boston. A staff member will be going to Boston on Monday to personally
review this situation and would have an answer very soon. Dr. Richter instructed
each of the 1st authors to send all answers to referee's comments to her
and she would forward to the editorial office, who will then process the
acceptance letter. ITEM 2: Up-date on data management/analysis commi ttee
activities: Survey data: Dr. Williams reported that the coordinating center
has not received feedback on the distributed survey data to date. Dr. Williams
asked that everyone try to access the dataset, so that if problems arose,
the coordinating center could address prior to the push for the APHA presentations.
Dr. Herman reported that Ms. Altobelli is working on the HRT data and has
not reported any problems with the dataset. Open-ended coding: Dr. Williams
asked people to please give a completion date for when the open-ended coding
would be returned to the coordinating center from their sites. Dr. Herman
reported that New Mexico had returned their open-ended questions. Dr. Linares
reported that Dr. Tortolero is working on the open-ended responses from
Texas and will be finished by August 27, 1999. APHA presentations: Dr.
Williams reported that Eva Chirapongse is now working on the ENDOW project
from the coordinating center and is very fluent in SAS programming. Action
Item: Trena will add Ms. Chirapongse to the study-wide directory available
on the web. The next data management/analysis conference call will be Monday,
August 19, 1999 @ 3:30 PM and the committee will begin to discuss issues
of analysis as people prepare for the APHA presentations and accompanying
manuscripts ITEM 3: Up-date on intervention committee activities: Up-date
from July meeting: Dr. Richter reported that the intervention committee
meeting was very successful meeting and accomplished the goal of having
a clear understanding of Year 5 study-wide and center-specific intervention
evaluation plans. The committee decided that the Year 5 interventions that
were planned would not be demanding of the study group. Each site reported
on their center-specific intervention development plans and their ideas
for study-wide interventions. The committee concluded that brochure development
should be a study-wide intervention. Dr. Cornell reported that Hall-Foushee
suggested the following intervention options: Brochure: A tri-fold, four
colo r brochure (9 by 11 1/2), writing/design including working with research
is about $ 2,000.00 and printing 3500 copies is about $1,200.00. Dr. Cornell
reported that Hall-Foushee expressed the need to have a conference call
with the intervention committee to clarify brochure questions before submitting
a final brochure bid. Booklet: A 16-page, two-color workbook (3 7/8 by
7 1/8) which can be shrink wrapped to the video. Writing/design including
working with research staff and printing would be about $3,500.00 and 500
copies would be $850.00. Tabloid: 4 page, two color (11 by 17), writing
and design would be about $5,000.00 and printing of 5,000 copies would
be $500.00 and additional groups of 1,000 would be only $50.00 per thousand.
T-shirts: Dr. Richter reported that the intervention committee decided
that T-shirts would be a good idea using two possible slogans "the decision
is mine" or "got ovaries". Each T-shirt would have a study-wide logo. Ms.
Bawaya received a quote of $3.87/shirt if order 500 and $3.67/shirt if
order 1,000. The shirts will be Hanes 100% cotton 1-color printing and
shipping will cost $.25/shirt. Closed caption: Dr. Linares received the
following two options from Hall-Foushee for closed caption: Closed caption:
The viewer has the choice of turning on/off the words and a statement is
placed in the video saying that this option can be used. Open caption:
Words are always shown with no option to turn off. The cost of video closed
caption is about $841.00 for the Spanish video and $441.00 for the English
video. Trena has issued a purchase order for these services. TV/VCR: Dr.
McKeown asked if anyone had any ideas about what brand of portable TV/VCR
would be better to purchase to use. Action Item: The coordinating center
will explore what is the best brand option to purchase for screen size
and money. Video progress: Dr. Richter reported that at the intervention
meeting, the committee reviewed the text for the Spanish video in English
and from that expressed the need to review the video i n Spanish before
approval is granted. Dr. Linares reported that she would talk to Hall-Foushee
on Monday to explain the translation problems from Texas in the Spanish
video. Dr. Herman reported that the minor changes in translation from New
Mexico had been emailed to Dr. Cornell who forwarded to Hall-Foushee. Healthwise
books: The committee decided to order for each site a "Healthwise" book
at a cost of $51.00 a book. Action Item: The coordinating center will order
these books from Wendy Perkins at Wellness Promotion Inc. Focus groups:
Each site will do four focus groups at each site in September to pilot
test the video. Action Item: Dr. Richter will develop the focus group guide
to use with video pilot testing. ITEM 4: Up-date on year 5 continuation
budgets: Dr. Lewis reported center-specific budgets where sent to the CDC
along with a budget from Dr. Lewis for continued support of the data supplement
from the Office of Women's Health at the CDC. Dr. Lewis reported that the
submitted budget included web development software. ITEM 5: Miscellaneous:
Next general meeting: The next study group meeting will be in Birmingham
on Thursday, October 7 and Friday, October 8, 1999. Action Item: The coordinating
center is exploring possible hotels to hold the meeting close to the University.
Conference calls: Study group conference call: The next study group conference
call will be Friday, September 3, 1999 @ 11:00 AM. Data management/analysis
committee conference call: The next data management committee conference
call is scheduled for Monday, August 19, 1999 @ 3:30 PM CST. Intervention
committee conference call: The next intervention committee conference call
is scheduled for Tuesday, August 10, 1999 @ 2:30 PM CST. Action Item: Each
PI will forward a copy of their center-specific continuation application

Contact with the STAMP/SWAN Project: Dr. Folger reported that she participated
in a conference call with Dr. Finnegan and Antonia Spadaro he re at CDC
Prevention Center Office to discuss the Women's Health Meeting and other
issues. Dr. Folger reported that Dr. Finnegan again emphasized the need
for ENDOW to talk with investigators from the STAMP (The Study on Traditional
and Alternative Methods for Postmenopausal Women) and SWAN (The Study of
Women Across Nations) projects. Individuals reported that the SWAN project
is an epidemiological study of the peri-menopausal transition that is different
than ENDOW. The STAMP project was looked into for a site visit and Dr.
Groff reported that a decision analyst at Texas talked to someone in San
Franciso (AHCPR funded STAMP site) who is accessing women preferences.
They are not any further along than ENDOW. Additional contacts will be
pursued. Women's Health Meeting: Dr. Folger reported that Ms. Riley said
that this meeting is for studies done under the WHI-CPS and the purpose
would be to show results of these studies and to talk about next steps
of funding. Dr. Folger reported that Dr. Finnegan wants to see how the
studies identified the types of intervention needed and how interventions
were developed, disseminated and evaluated. According to Dr. Finnegan the
meeting is not about future funding. M9909003 ENDOW Study Committee Conference
Call Friday, September 3, 1999 Attendees: Dr. Beth Lewis, Dr. Heather McCreath,
Dr. Carol Cornell, Shannon Houser and Trena Johnsey, University of Alabama
at Birmingham, Dr. Carla Herman, University of New Mexico, Dr. Robert McKeown,
and Dr. Donna Richter, University of South Carolina, Dr. Suzanne Folger,
CDC Review and approve minutes from August 6, 1999 study group conference
call: The minutes were approved with minor corrections. ITEM 1: Up-date
on publication committee activities - Beth Lewis: Plans for APHA presentation
approval: Dr. Lewis reported that she is waiting for Dr. McCreath to finish
re-running the analyses needed for her APHA presentation with the most
recent data. Dr. Herman reported that Ms. Altobelli found a glitch in the
New Mexico data. Action It em: Dr. McCreath will contact Ms. Altobelli
this week regarding this matter. Dr. Lewis reported that the October meeting
in Birmingham will cover the APHA presentations. ITEM 2: Up-date on data
management/analysis committee activities: Survey data: Dr. McCreath reported
the following problems with the dataset: Ms. Altobelli found an error involving
the calculation of the variable HRT user, which indicates the use status.
Dr. McCreath reported that Texas asked the questions in a slightly different
way from the other 3 sites and the variable was not picked up from their
specific dataset, which would help clarify HRT use. Dr. McCreath reported
that the variable was sent to Ms. Altobelli and the correction would be
made in the next version of the dataset. Dr. McCreath reported that Dr.
McKeown found a couple of problems with the dataset, however, she wanted
to respond to Dr. McKeown before determining whether it is a real problem
or just some confusion. Dr. McKeown reported that after receiving Dr. McCreath's
email perhaps the 1st question is just confusion, however, he had not been
able to look back at the data set as of yet. Dr. McCreath reported that
these problems would be distributed via email to investigators so that
the errors can be resolved in analysis for the APHA presentations, but
will either be incorporated as changes in the data set or further explanation
in documentation. Open-ended coding: Dr. McCreath reported Dr. McKeown
raised a concern with the open-ended responses since so many women chose
the other category on numerous questions. Dr. McKeown stated in the "reasons
for hysterectomy" section, many women who had hysterectomies responded
in the other category and named a symptom such as abnormal bleeding was
the reason for hysterectomy instead of choosing a diagnosis from the categories
given. Dr. McKeown stated that the study group needs to decide whether
to examine the other category to see if any of the "other responses" match
with the categories given. Dr. McCreath stated that this woul d help the
data committee to determine whether women reported the "other diagnosis"
reason, or if it turns out that not enough responses were listed in order
for the decision to be made. Dr. McCreath stated that this would either
tell the coordinating center whether women answered something that would
actually fit into one of the categories or that it may be the alternative
that not all the categories were listed and new categories are needed.
Dr. McCreath reported that Alabama and New Mexico had returned their open-ended
coding and that the coordinating center will be working with Dr. McKeown
in South Carolina to complete the coding since his students are not available
and the coordinating center caused some of the delay. Dr. McCreath reported
that Ms. Houser will continue looking at all of the open-ended responses
and checking the ones that appear to have truncated responses. The coordinating
center will be sending a list of participants to see if there is something
more on the questionnaire because some of the responses could not be coded
due to the truncation. Quality control plan: Dr. McCreath reported that
the coordinating center would proceed with the quality control process
developed at the February meeting in Atlanta. Category quality control:
Dr. McCreath reported that the coordinating center would contact different
investigators to re-code 20% of the responses to a certain question and
see it they give the same categories. Inter-coder reliability: The coordinating
center will re-code 20% to see if they find the same codes. Dr. McCreath
reported that after the quality control procedures have been done, a supplementary
data set would be processed. The role of the data management committee
in Year 5: Dr. McCreath would like for the committee to begin to think
about the role of the data management committee for Year 5. The next data
management conference call will be September 16, 1999 @ 3:30 PM. ITEM 3:
Intervention committee activities: Dr. Cornell reported that the video
should be available by the middle of September. Action Item: Each site
will review the proposed credits and email comments to Trena. Action Item:
Each site will determine the number of brochures and videos needed for
their site and email Trena by Tuesday, September 7, 1999. Action Item:
Trena will contact Hall & Foushee and determine length of time needed
after credits are received for rough draft of the video to be distributed
and email date to everyone. Brochure comments: Who is Alma and what nationality?
Put many women on the cover to represent everyone. Action Item: Each site
will make brochure comments and return to Trena by Tuesday, September 7,
1999 and she will forward to Hall & Foushee. T-shirts: The study group
discussed the T-shirt design and decided to use the slogan "The Decision
is Mine" and include all three-site logos. The study group decided on a
natural 2-color Hanes beefy T-shirt with Turquoise logos. The group suggested
XL and XXL sizes. Logos should be spaced either on the back or front and
slogan on the reverse to be determined after PO is requested. Action Item:
Each site will mail their camera-ready logo to Trena. ITEM 4: Public Committee:
Journal of Women's Health: Dr. Richter reported that all the papers except
for the Texas and New Mexico revisions have been received. ITEM 5: Up-date
on year 5 continuation: Dr. Lewis reported she has to re-do the coordinating
center budget, since the amount that the NIH sent to David Elswick was
not all for the ENDOW study. $200,000 is for the WHI CPS meeting that Dr.
Finnegan wants to have in Fall 2000. Dr. Lewis reported that she has to
do a new core budget, a supplement budget and a meeting budget by September
15, 1999. ITEM 6: Miscellaneous: Next general meeting: The next study group
meeting will be Thursday, October 7 and Friday, October 8, 1999 at the
Pickwick Hotel in Birmingham. Prevention center meeting: February 1-4,
2000 in Atlanta, GA. m991007-8 ENDOW Steering Committee Meeting Pickwick
Hotel, Birmingham, Alabama, October 7-8, 1999 Attende es: Dr. Suzanne Folger,
CDC, Dr. Dale Williams, Dr. Beth Lewis, Dr. Heather McCreath, MaryAnn Littleton,
Dr. Carol Cornell, Dr. LeaVonne Pulley, Shannon Houser, Trena Johnsey,
Eva Chirapongse, University of Alabama at Birmingham, Dr. Pat Dolan-Mullen,
Dr. Jan Groff, Dr. Guillermo Tortolero, and Dr. Adriana Linares, University
of Texas - Houston, Dr. Carla Herman and Ina Bawaya, University of New
Mexico, Dr. Donna Richter, and Dr. Robert McKeown, University of South
Carolina Thursday, October 7, 1999 The minutes from the September 3, 1999
conference call were approved without corrections. CDC Report: Dr. Folger
reported that two people from each Prevention Research Center (PRC) attended
a CDC meeting to present future research ideas and their comments for future
funding. The CDC concluded that the meeting with the PRCs was successful
and all research ideas and comments would be considered for future CDC
funding. Project timelines: Each site presented site-specific timelines.
The steering committee concluded that finishing focus groups, continuing
analyses and submitting publications would be the Year 5 study goals. The
steering committee determined that all focus group intervention pilot testing
should be completed after the holidays, and the final interventions would
begin focus group testing in January. Dr. Folger will contact Mr. Elswick
at the CDC to see if no cost extension could be requested if money exist
at the end of September 2000. Data management report: Dr. McCreath reported
that the following have been done within the last year (Year 4): Developed
the structure for the core survey dataset Developed summary variables for
the dataset Worked with each site to map site-specific data to the core
dataset structure Distributed 4 versions of the interim dataset and 1 version
of the final dataset Developed documentation for the final dataset Using
study’s recommendation developed a plan for coding open-ended items. The
October 21, 1999 data management committee conference call will work out
si tuations raised at the meeting. For the rest of the year, conference
calls will be quarterly, with the majority of contact by e-mail. E-mail
should be a good mechanism regarding data questions because many questions
will have to be pondered before answered. The major task for the data management
committee is to finish the open-ended coding. All of the responses have
been coded except for the last question "What should a women know before
having a hysterectomy?" For that item, the SC site coded most of the last
question and the CC will complete it. The timeline is as follows: Initial
coding by November 1 Category QC by November 15 Rater QC coding by December
1, 1999. Responses for QC comparison categories were distributed to investigators.
About 50% have been returned; the remainder will be returned by October
15, 1999. Once the categories for coding are approved, any changes will
be made to the entire set and 20% of the responses will be evaluated for
inter-rater reliability. For manuscript analyses, the Coordinating Center
(CC) has budgeted for some support for all investigators. With an analysis
request, please send the paper proposal, along with exclusion criteria,
and table shells. The CC will develop a timeline for completion of the
analyses. The timeline will be somewhat project dependent, but a 3-4 week
turn-around should be expected for most manuscript requests. Instructions
for submitting verifications will be sent to each first author when the
paper proposal is approved. The instructions will also be distributed to
the data committee members for review. Expect a 3-week turnaround for verifications.
Another CC analyst will verify any analyses originally done by the CC personnel.
Dr. Herman wanted to know how to run analyses on the data due to comparability
issues. Dr. Williams proposed running models for each center separately
to determine which predictors were significant at each center. Then, an
overall model could be built using predictors significant at any one site.
The group agreed to use this strategy. Dr. Herman requested that the dataset
include information about whether the participant was recruited from the
community or the clinic. Dr. McCreath will add this information to the
next version of the dataset, along with a description in the documentation.
Investigators reported difficulty locating the codebook on the website.
Dr. McCreath will check the web for codebook accessibility and report to
the committee. Dr. McCreath will forward all documentation and data on
CD. In addition, Dr. Herman pointed out that each site has different age
ranges included in their samples. The group agreed to use different age
ranges depending on which sites are included in analyses to ensure comparability.
Quality Control: The group reviewed the open-ended coding that had been
completed to date. The decision was made that, if a response fits best
a category already specified in the original survey, the response should
be incorporated into the existing responses, rather than leaving in the
"Other" category. The following are decisions for each item: (QC open-ended
response tables, in Excel 97 format) Treatment options: "Can’t remember/not
specified" and "Not applicable/none" can be combined. Remove pessiary from
" Lifestyle modification (diet, exercise)". Medications and pessiary should
be added to "Not specified or other medical treatment". "Watchful waiting"
and "no other treatment" or "Doctors said don't do anything" can be combined.
Ethnicity: Dr. McCreath stated that the committee should use the NM approach
because it was thought through very carefully. NM did interview several
Asians and some Pueblo Indians, but excluded them in the original data
set. The committee decided that these surveys should be included if a valid
survey was conducted. NM will include these 30 surveys as an "Other" ethnicity
category so that they can be accessed. Surgical/medical treatment: Remove
"Surgical treatment" from original and list procedures. Remove separate
"Antidepressant" and "Pain medications" categories and create "Non-hormone
or unspecified medications" category Why hysterectomy was not prompt: "Missed
diagnosis" (original) and "Problem missed" (QC) judged to be the same category;
combine in a category of "Diagnosis difficulties". Add "Doctor didn’t see
need" and "Fears" to the overall list "Too young" (original) change to
"Age" (QC) Reason hysterectomy not done: The following categories were
decided upon: Fear Comorbidity Wanted kids Going to have one Advice of
family and friends Unnecessary/not appropriate treatment/advice of doctor
Insurance/financial Other treatment resolved problem Symptoms went away
(fixed themselves) or woman decided Why HRT recommended: Create new category
"Menopausal symptoms" to include "Incontinence", "Specific urogenital symptoms/diagnosis",
"Hot flashes", "Mood or concentration". Add "NA" to "Misconception". Separate
"Prevent CVD" and "Prevent cancer". Reason HRT not taken when recommended:
"Doesn’t like to take pills, not natural, afraid of side effects" - check
original coding. "Still deciding, not prescribed /received yet" should
be separate code. Why you stopped taking HRT: Should be able to use existing
codes. For all items, the CC will apply these category lists to the responses.
The CC will then return the coding lists to the original coders for review.
Upon approval, the 20% inter-rater reliability coding will be done and
analyzed. Intervention: Video: The steering committee reviewed the video
and each site presented site-specific focus group pilot testing video results.
Alabama: 2 hysterectomy and 2 non-hysterectomy African-American focus groups
in 2 rural and 2 urban communities were conducted. 6 women were present
in each group in Wilcox County and 8 women were present in each of the
2 focus groups in Riley/West Jefferson County. In general, women liked
the video and felt that the video gave them a lot of information. The video
did inspire each of the women to tell their stories/experiences with doctors,
whether good or bad. The women really like t he doctor skit and felt that
it was a real situation. Focus group suggestions were that perhaps the
doctor needed to interact more with the woman or possibly talk more about
the after effects of surgery. Participants felt that when the men spoke,
what they said was not reality. They felt that perhaps younger women should
be used in the video, and that perhaps a x should not be used directly
on the face. Texas: 3 (..hysterectomy and ..non-hysterectomy) focus groups
with a total of 16 women, including 4 Hispanics, were conducted. One of
the focus groups conducted at the university were women who participated
in an original focus group. These women generally liked the video, but
would have preferred that the doctor be a woman. These women felt that
the video was lying because doctors don’t have time to talk to women at
all. They didn’t like the X on the woman's face, and said that children
were talked about but not included. They felt that the video should show
women doing something more than working and felt that younger women should
be used. The women felt that the message regarding having choices and the
fact that other options were suggested was good. The women felt that the
video was lying since husbands are generally not supportive. They thought
that seeing the video at the doctor's office was a good idea, but felt
that the video should be available to be taken home. All the women who
had a hysterectomy wanted to talk about their stories. No focus groups
were conducted with low-income women during this phase of pilot testing.
South Carolina: 2 focus groups in Columbia were conducted. Many of the
women like that the video talked about alternative treatments, and pre
and post hysterectomy. The women felt that the men in the video were not
realistic. Dr. Richter reported that one woman stated that "the Bird was
so interesting that she lost the video message." No women objected to the
X on the woman's face. Dr. Richter stated that a checkmark doesn’t appear
at the end when something was done right. The women re ally like the humor
of the video, and believed that using it in a doctor's office would be
good, but thought that the opportunity to take the video home would be
good. Most of the women wouldn’t pass the video on to someone else, because
it talked about decision making. One lesbian non-hysterectomy focus group
was conducted. The second group was with hysterectomized women of various
ages and talked a lot about outcomes such as depression. New Mexico: 2
focus groups were conducted and the message was conveyed. Some got the
message that one can delay a hysterectomy, but not avoid it. The women
suggested that more alternative therapies should be used in the video.
The focus groups didn't like the video at all, didn't like the humor, or
the men, didn’t like the hats, or the wedding vail and didn’t like the
husband issue. They thought that the X on the woman's face was wrong and
felt that a high socio-economic status was used and they didn't see any
low-income women, and no Hispanics. The group suggested that the video
could possibly be shown in churches. The group did not see any distinction
between hysterectomy and non-hysterectomy or hysterectomy without oopherectomy.
The group liked Syndi but did see some confusion regarding Rose since she
was talking about the uterine lining being removed. The group felt that
younger women should be used, since most women in the video were past childbearing
years. The groups did not like the fact that no terrain from New Mexico
was used. They did not like the fact that women were not shown talking
to other women. The steering committee decided to make the following changes
to the video: Delete the beginning glow on "the decision is yours". Delete
the hat segment - Add the introduction statement written by Dr. Pulley
explaining what hysterectomy is about. The committee decided that it takes
too long to state the purpose of the video. Remove Liz watering flowers
and perhaps add young Hispanic women talking to each other (possibly Cassandra
and her mother from the Spanish vide o). Change the wording "emphasis"
to "some" Remove the wording "Florida vacation" in Liz’s introduction.
Remove shots of Rose’s husband. Remove the X from the woman's face and
use only the background sound and freeze the frame. Use wording "before
you go" instead of beforehand. Be consistent: The first two women have
introduction and the third woman does not. Be consistent: with names and
don't use last names of anyone. Everybody’s face that is shown in the video
should be listed on credits Add the conclusion that Dr. Pulley wrote. T-shirts:
The steering committee decided to use a Roswald fond for the T-shirt and
the font color should be the same as the brochure. The wording should be
in quotes on the front of the shirt over the pocket. Read as follows: one
in English "The decision is mine" and one in Spanish" La Decision es Mia
(accent over the o)". Logos will be centered on the back of the shirt.
Brochures: A tri-fold brochure will be used. Colors will match the video.
New Mexico will provide a Native American photo for the cover of the brochure.
The steering committee decided to change the photos on the brochure cover,
so that the minorities would be mixed up. Replace Alma with Dannette, and
delete the glow on "yours". Panel 1:about "1/3" paragraph should be the
1st paragraph. Remove the Roswald "body image" picture and replace with
a decorative box including treatment options: watchful waiting, medications,
hysterectomy, other surgeries. Panel 2: Switch Rose and Liz. Leave other
2 photographs the same. Year 5 Intervention site plans: Alabama: Site-specific
intervention plans are: No CME credits will be offered. Conduct focus groups
in one urban community. Use only African American participants. South Carolina:
Will use both African American and White and will focus on St Helen’s island.
Texas: Site-specific intervention plans will concentrate on treatment option
decision-making skills. Will use clinic and Community setting alone and
in a group on about 300 women from a predominantly Afr ican American and
a predominently Hispanic community Pilot Testing will be done in a take
home packet including the video and brochure. Then someone will call the
participant to find out results. One session in a clinic setting, stopping
the video and asking for comments will be done to compare. New Mexico:
Site-specific intervention will be conducted with a lay health advisory
group on decision making. Decisional balance sheets will be developed and
used with Navajo participants. A Spanish decision-making CD has been completed.
Dr. Herman will forward a copy of the Spanish CD to every investigator.
Publications: Trena will make necessary changes to the publication grids
regarding the APHA presentations. Prevention Center Research Meeting: The
abstract deadline for the Prevention Center Research Meeting is October
15, 1999. The steering committee agreed to submit the following study-wide
ENDOW abstracts: "The use of Qualitative data in the Development of an
Intervention tool: the ENDOW Project", written by Drs. Richter and Groff.
" Hysterectomy in a multiethnic sample of women: the ENDOW Study" written
by Dr. Lewis. APHA presentations: Dr. Lewis presented the APHA presentation
overview. The following changes were suggested by the steering committee:
Overview: Change the word "implement" to "pilot testing". Use wording of
"quantitative data" instead of "survey data collection". Add a bullet "focus
groups were used to inform survey" On map slide: Change Navajo Reservation
to Navajo Nation, Take Grants off under New Mexico sites. Mention Navajo
data, but state not available, until the Navajo Nation grants approval.
Sample selection strategy: New Mexico: The surveys were conducted either
on site or in the home. Use wording of "sampling methodology" instead of
"targeted approach". Texas: Use wording "Targeting methodology approach"
instead of "targeted approach". Under Clinic based sample: Community health
and public hospital serving the same geographic area. Don’t say low income;
didn't screen for low income just survey low income areas. South Carolina:
Add the word "community" to "advisory board". Use wording of "snowballing
technique" instead of "volunteer sample. Alabama: Add 1/3 from clinic sample.
Take out response rates completely, not shown on any other site methodology
Presentations: Change wording to "HRT use and attitudes" instead of "HRT
attitudes" Conclusions: Change wording to "strengths" instead of "conclusions
and strengths". "Hysterectomy in a multiethnic sample of women: The ENDOW
Study" - Beth Lewis: Remove "surgical menopause" in the header. Change
wording to "rates may differ ". Demographic characteristics - look at numbers
and re-run data to only include ages 35-64, possibly use a bar graph. Change
title on Pre-op overhead to "Pre-op Conditions Reported by Women with Hysterectomy
(%)". Change wording to "pregnancy complications" instead of "pregnancy".
Dr. Lewis will add a footnote: Funding: Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention and National Institutes of Health Women's Health Initiative
Community Prevention Studies. "Attitudes toward Menopause in a Multi-ethnic
Sample: The ENDOW Study" - Robert McKeown: Dr. McKeown questioned the steering
committee on how to consistently report African-American and Hispanic populations.
Use the state names instead of university names. Done by self-definition:
Define pre, post menopausal and menopausal. Break out ethnicity across
sites regarding menopause. List 3 levels of responses instead of five.
View of menopause as unpleasant - women were less likely to answer don’t
know. Menopausal attitude scale score by center Remove the wording "by
center". Remove the wording "are reversed". In a bi-variate model change
the wording from "marginally" to "Statistically significant difference
in attitude scores by menopausal status". Use a graph with p-values for
slides before and menopausal attitude scale score by ethnicity. Educational
Slide: Define education as having less than a high school education, high
school education or high school educatio n or more. Differences in attitude
by age, education, research center, marital status slide: Make bullet phrases
instead of complete sentences. Change wording to "relationship" instead
of "relation". Presentation - Jan Groff: Background slide: Change the word
"missing" to "less". Say that the hysterectomy vignette was only asked
of women who had not had a hysterectomy. Methods: Hysterectomy vignette:
Change wording to specific "outcome variables". Demographics: Use a bar
graph by site. Scores on outcome variables by site: add a footnote that
the vignette score was only asked of.... Delete the total column. Bi-variate
analysis: Footnote the p-values. Uni-variate analysis: Show before the
bi-variate analysis "Ethnic & Geographic Variation in Women’s Use and
Attitudes Toward Hormone Replacement Therapy" - Carla Herman: Purpose:
Remove the word "cultural". Methods: Add wording "without a hysterectomy".
Demographic: Move the missing category to the unmarried couple category.
Change wording to hormone replacement use for women without hysterectomy
by ethnic group. Dr. Herman will remove all women who say "they have never
heard of HRT" from the analysis and rerun. Dr. Herman will place the Texas
don't knows in the neither category and then re-evaluate the education
category. Change wording to "had a very likely". Dr. Herman will limit
the analyses age to 50-59. Closing remarks - Suzanne Folger: Dr. Folger
will address the limitations and overall conclusions of the presentations.
Friday, October 27,1999 Video changes: Ms. Hall of Hall & Foushee faxed
the following video suggestions based on the October 7, 1999 conference
call with the intervention committee: Number 1: Instead of showing video
of Hispanic women, while the narrator speaks in a voice-over, I would like
to have the words of the narrator shown on the screen. The steering committee
decided to leave this decision up to Ms. Hall. Number 2: To get more Hispanic
women, in the video, I suggested that we use Gloria in the opening, instead
of Dannette. The steering committee agreed with Ms. Hall. Number 3: The
goal of the opening is to keep women speaking of decisions - Keep Alma.
The steering committee agreed with Ms. Hall. The revised video will be
mailed to the intervention committee in late October, 1999. Brochure changes:
Dr. Cornell reported that Ms. Hall felt the requested brochure changes
were minor and a revised brochure would be returned to the intervention
committee by the middle of October, 1999. Miscellaneous: February meeting:
The ENDOW steering committee will meet on Tuesday, February 1, 2000 in
Atlanta, GA during the Prevention Center Research Meeting. Dr. Folger will
request meeting space. Action Items: Dr. Folger will contact Mr. Elswick
at the CDC to see if no cost extension could be requested if money exist
at the end of September 2000. Dr. McCreath will add this information to
the next version of the dataset, along with a description in the documentation.
Dr. McCreath will check the web for codebook accessibility and report to
the committee. Dr. McCreath will forward all documentation and data on
CD. New Mexico will provide a Native American photo for the cover of the
brochure. Dr. Herman will forward a copy of the Spanish CD to every investigator.
Dr. Herman will remove all women who say "they have never heard of HRT"
from the analysis and rerun. Dr. Herman will place the Texas don't knows
in the neither category and then re-evaluate the education category. Dr.
Folger will address the limitations and overall conclusions of the presentations.
Dr. Folger will request meeting space. m991105 ENDOW Steering Committee

will be granted as long as submitted a couple of months in advance. Publication
activities: Journal of Women's Health issue: Dr. Lewis reported that all
of the papers have been submitted to the Journal of Women's Health. Dr.
Folger reported that it would take at least 3 months to publish once the
process begins with the publisher and it would take at least 3-6 weeks
to get the CDC paperwork completed to issue payment. Dr. Richter reported
that the cost for the Journal of Women's Health supplement is $12,000.00
including printing for the entire issue. An additional 400 copies are being
requested by the ENDOW group @ a cost of $4.00 a piece including shipping.
Each site will cover the cost of individual article reprints. APHA slide
presentations: Dr. Lewis reported that all the APHA slide presentations
have been launched on the web. PRC meeting: Dr. Lewis reported that 2 ENDOW
abstracts were submitted to the February 2000 PRC meeting in Atlanta, GA.
The ENDOW steering committee meeting will be Tuesday, February 1, 2000,
8:00 am -12: 00 PM. Data management: Open-ended coding: Dr. McCreath reported
that the CC is continuing to work through the open-ended coding as a result
of the October meeting. The CC will re-distribute the coding within the
next week or so for investigators to review the current coding responses
using the categories that were agreed upon at the October meeting. After
review, they should be returned to the CC. APHA analyses: Dr. McCreath
reported that through APHA analyses a few other problems were found with
the dataset and all the changes have been distributed to the data management
group. Dr. McCreath reported that she is working with a stu dent of Dr.
McKeown who thinks that a problem may exist with the dataset. The data
management committee decided to have quarterly conference calls and to
do most corresponding through e-mail. The data management group decided
that it would be a good idea to post all problems with the dataset on the
web for review. Interventions: Video: Dr. Richter reported that all the
changes were made in the English version. The steering committee approved
the video. The Spanish video was sent to Texas and New Mexico and comments
should be returned to Hall & Foushee. Dr. Linares reported that the
same scene was used three times in the video. Brochures: Dr. Richter reported
that all the changes were made in the English brochure. Dr. Richter reported
that she found numerous grammar mistakes in the Spanish brochure. Dr. Linares
will contact Hall & Foushee regarding errors in the Spanish brochure.

to Dr. Linares this week. Closed caption: The steering committee decided
that the closed caption of both the Spanish and English videos should be
approved prior to printing. T-shirts: Trena reviewed the decisions made
at the October meeting: the English saying would be on the top, the Spanish
saying on the bottom and ENDOW in the middle on the front, over the pocket
in a circular fashion, with all three logos on the back of the shirt. The
steering committee decided that the wording should be in the middle of
the shirt and that ENDOW should not be on the shirt at all. Intervention
action items: All comments regarding the Spanish brochure should be sent
to the coordinating center. Trena will contact Hall & Foushee regarding
video closed captioning. Each site should send exact numbers of how many
English and Spanish videos and brochures will be needed for their site.

Dr. Richter submitted an abstract entitled "The Use of Qualitative Data
in the Development of an Intervention Tool: the ENDOW Project" and has
not received acceptance as of yet. The ENDOW steering committee meeting
will be Tuesday, February 1, 2000, 8:00 am -12: 00 PM. Data management
activities: Dr. McCreath reported that the CC has been successful in resolving
questions from one of Dr. McKeown's students for now, but she will require
more data eventually that is not in the core dataset. Open-ended coding:
Dr. McCreath reported that the CC has been able to complete the following:
At the October meeting a few open-ended coding lists were decided where
original and the QC categories were reviewed and a final set of categories
decided. For those items, the responses have been re-coded by the CC to
correspond to the new set of categories. Dr. McCreath stated that at the
October meeting the committee decided that once the CC was through with
the category correction, the entire list of responses with codes would
be sent back to the original coder and they would double check the CC work.
Dr. McCreath reported that Dr. McKeown has forwarded more QC categories
for the last question to the CC and the comparison will be done next week.
After the CC has re-coded what needs to be re-coded, it will then be sent
to the original coder for review. Dr. McCreath reported that the QC changes
would be completed by the end of the month. Dr. McCreath reported that
the steering committee decided to have a two step process for all open-ended
questions. First, the CC would look through the responses and reassign
codes based on the final list developed at the October meeting and then
send the response list to the original coder for review. After the original
coder has reviewed the responses, they will return it to the CC who will
then distribute to a third reviewer who will code 20% of the responses
for agreement statistics. Dr. McCreath asked if it is sti ll necessary
for a third person to review 20% for agreement statistics? The committee
decided it would still be necessary to have the last question "If a woman
is thinking about hysterectomy, what kinds of things do you think she should
know" reviewed by a third reviewer for agreement statistics. Dr. McCreath
reported that all original coders should expect to receive spreadsheets
from the CC sometime next week with turnaround by the middle of January
2000. Intervention activities: Video: Dr. Richter reported that the English
version is final and will be sent for closed captioning sometime before
the end of the year. The Spanish video comments have been return to Hall
& Foushee and they are working on the revisions. Hall & Foushee
will distribute a final version of the Spanish video sometime this week.
All comments should be forwarded to Trena as soon as possible. Brochures:
There was a final draft of the English brochure distributed with the Spanish
video. Please forward comments to Trena by Monday, December 6, 1999. Hall
& Foushee would like to have final approval on the English brochure
before the end of the year, because they feel that the Spanish video will
take more time to develop because of the translation. The committee decided
that it would be acceptable for Sema to be in the Spanish brochure even
though she is not in the video. Closed caption: Hall & Foushee will
distribute the English and Spanish videos for closed caption approval.
T-shirts: The English saying would be on the top, the Spanish saying on
the bottom in the center of the shirt in a circular fashion, with all three
logos on the back of the shirt. Each site will let Trena know how many
XXL shirts they would like to purchase in addition to the 1,000 shirts
purchased by the CC. Evaluation tools: Dr. McKeown reported that South
Carolina would like to develop an evaluation based on two or three different
levels of interventions. Each woman would be interviewed after their doctor
visit and then compared to other groups. Dr . Cornell reported that Alabama
would conduct pre and post self-report interviews on attitudes and intentions.
Dr. Lewis stated that the committee agreed to use the same evaluation tools
for the video. Dr. Cornell reported that Alabama and South Carolina will
use the evaluation tool that Texas is developing and the article circulated
previously will be very useful. Dr. Linares reported that Texas has been
working on intervention development for the last month, and Dr. Groff is
developing this evaluation tool presently. Texas has decided to evaluate
the intervention video in a joint effort with the other 3 sites, and will
site-specifically evaluate other intervention components. Dr. Cornell reported
that the intervention committee agreed to use a postcard to evaluate the
video. Dr. Linares reported that Texas will also use 3 brochures from the
AHSC, entitled "Options for hysterectomy", "Anatomy and physiology of reproductive
system" and another one listing resources available in Texas. Texas, Alabama
and South Carolina plan to begin training in February. Dr. Cornell reported
that Alabama is going to use the intervention materials in training that
will be used with the women in order to do pilot testing. Each site should
bring drafts of intervention evaluation materials to the February meeting
for review. Future conference calls and meetings: The next steering committee
conference call will be Friday, January 7, 2000 @ 11:00 CST. The next intervention
conference call will be in the second week in February. Date to be confirmed
on the January steering committee call. The steering committee will decide
on January conference call the dates and location of the next face-to-face
steering committee meeting following the PRC meeting and will plan agenda.
The next steering committee face-to-face meeting will be Tuesday, February
1, 2000 in Atlanta, GA, 8:00am - 12:00 noon. The agenda will focus on intervention
materials and evaluation tools with updates on data. Agenda comments should
be sent to Dr. Lewis. The next ENDOW presentation will be in the Tuesday,
February 1, 2000 12:00 noon - 5:00 PM session with Dr. Finnegan. Dr. Lewis
will present an ENDOW abstract in the Wednesday, February 2, 2000, 10:30
am - 12:00 noon scientific session. The community prevention research in
women's health conference is October 26-27, 2000 in Washington DC at the
NIH Mazur Auditorium. Dr. Lewis reported that a block of hotel rooms are
be reserved. The conference budget has travel for two people per SIP per
project. Each SIP will be expected to present study results. A preliminary
program is being developed by the conference committee to cover topic areas.
For instance the three physical activity projects will have one session.
Each physical activity project will present an overview and what their
accomplishments are, then Dr. Andrea Kriska will summarize what has been
done and what direction future projects need to go. Dr. Lewis asked the
steering committee for suggestions on a discussant for the ENDOW project.
Invited speakers following ENDOW will be: Dr. Sherry Sherman, The SWAN
project officer, Dr. Sarah Marks from CAMP, and Dr. Marci Gross from AHCPR
will speak on their 3 hysterectomy Vs medical therapy trials. Dr. Lewis
reported that Dr. Finnegan would like to have an exhibition poster type
session where projects display their materials. Perhaps an abstract competition
will be held. NIH and CDC personnel will give opening remarks. Dr. Shiriki
Kumanyika will give closing remarks. main Ethnicity, Needs, Decisions of

completed; trying to decide whether to continue with the hospital survey.
Alabama: 1103 completed surveys; 805 community surveys completed with a
67% response rate and 238 clinic surveys completed with a 96% response
rate. Texas: community survey completed and ready to start analysis. South
carolina: 562 surveys completed with 139 African-American women and 96
men. IV. Up-date on data analysis/management: Dr. McCreath stated that
the data management group had a conference call on December 3, 1998 and
reported the following: 1. Data transfers: The coordinating center has
received final data sets from New Mexico and Texas and will begin to process
these. The Alabama data and another large part of the South Carolina data
will be sent next week. The final data transfer will be in mid-January,
1999 with a clean and coded data set available by mid-February, 1999. The
coordinating center has started doing range and skip patterns checks on
the data that has been received, so that only minimal, cleaning will be
required on the final data set. 2. Medical history table: Dr. McCreath
reported that the coordinating center has been putting together a medical
history table by center to make sure that the skip pattern are coded correctly.
Action Item: Dr. McCreath will distribute the medical history table to
the sites next week. 3. Open-ended text: These responses have been distributed
to investigators and should be returned to the coordinating center by December
15, 1998. If problems arise or if you need more information than was provided,
please let Dr. McCreath know. 4. Scale scoring: Dr. McCreath stated that
she will send information to Drs. Groff and Pulley regarding outcome expectancies
and autonomy preferences, but decided to wait until the missing data is
transferred next week. 5. Analysis: Dr. McCreath stated that the coordinating
center will be able to do analysis in December and January if anyone has
requests. V. Up-date on intervention committee activities: Dr. Cornell
reported that 3 of the 4 videographers sent the RFP responded (Dan Curry,
Hall-Foushee Communications and Write Eye Productions). Dr. Cornell suggested
that everyone look at the bids, CV’s and budgets and then a conference
call will be arranged to select. Action Item: Trena will send a packet
to the PI’s and invention committee members consisting of CV’s and proposals
for the 3 bids to be reviewed prior to the conference call on Friday, December
11, 1998 @ 11:00 am CST. Dr. Cornell stated that the intervention committee
will need to prepare before talking to the videographer in January. VI.
Publication committee: Action Item: Dr. Lewis stated that the publication
grids were circulated with the minutes. They are still being refined, everyone
should provide updates or corrections. 1. Journal of Women’s Health’s special
issue: Dr. Galavotti stated that she and Dr. Richter talked this morning
regarding the supplement journal. Dr. Galavotti will contact Dr. Lewis
and Dr. Groff to discuss revisions. Dr. Richter has already contacted Dr.
Williams and will be contacting Dr. Mingo regarding revisions. Dr. Galavotti
stated that Dr. Richter is working on the beginning paper describing the
qualitative methods and Dr. Galavotti will be working on the discussion
piece at the end to compare and contrast the 4 different papers. The deadline
for completion is December 14, 1998. Dr. Mingo reported that it has been
6 weeks with no objections from the Navajo nation, so therefore approval
is granted based on the understanding that lack of comment was assumed
to mean acceptance. Dr. Lewis reported that Dr. Galavotti was submitting
her background paper to the CDC for approval. 2. APHA submission: Dr. Groff
stated that the committee previously decided to submit to the APHA this
year. The abstract deadline is February 3, 1999. The APHA meeting is November
7-11, 1999 in Chicago, Illinois. Dr. McKeown reported that he is on the
program committee this year, and that he can create invited sessions. These
have a deadline in May, 1999 if the February deadline is to soon. The disadvantage
to the May deadline is that they don’t receive the same amount of advance
publicity since they are not in the preliminary program. Dr. Groff also
reported that the Latino caucus has expressed interest in sponsoring the
group. The theme for the APHA meeting this year is "A Century of Progress
in Public Health". The EPI section is celebrating their 70t anniversary
and is leading up to 2001 when the North American Epidemiology Congress
will meet which includes all the Epidemiology societies. Dr Groff stated
that committee had decided p reviously to do something like SWAN did, a
panel discussion with presentations of different types of results from
the whole study. Dr. Herman suggested that it be based on the papers already
in progress such as hysterectomy, HRT, social support and decision making
scales. Action Item: Requests for analyses for APHA abstracts should be
received by early January. Trena will schedule an additional conference
call in January to handle abstract approvals. Dr. McCreath stated that
the coordinating center would have some time at the end of December, beginning
of January to work on analyses. If everyone would sketch out some tables
and send them to Dr. McCreath, she will perform the analyses and complete
the tables. Action Item: Dr. Herman will inform the group of details regarding
the February 99 PRC meeting as she learns of them. VII. Miscellaneous:
Dr. Lewis discussed the possibility of developing a Web site for all upcoming
communications regarding minutes, agendas and other miscellaneous information.
The group agreed and work will start. Return to ENDOW home page. All material

Center meeting) Atlanta II. The minutes from the December 4, 1998 conference
call were approved without correction. III. Survey up-date: New Mexico:
Lovelace Hospital has been given until 1/15/99 to cooperate or the hospital
survey will not continue. 20 pre and post hysterectomy interviews completed
before the hospital staff lost interest and will share these results with
the intervention committee for the video. Dr. Herman stated that re-budgeting
was going on now to submit a new proposal to the Prevention Center to focus
all efforts in Gallop. Alabama: Dr. Pulley stated that the survey is complete
and data has been transferred.. Texas: Dr. Groff stated that community
survey is complete, and are trying to get a community task force involved
for the development phase. IV. Up-date on data analysis/management: Dr.
McCreath stated that the coordinating center received the last of the data
transfers excluding South Carolina on December 23, 1998. 1. Data transfers:
The coordinating center spent the week between Christmas and New Years
pulling the data set together and cleaning it up. Dr. McCreath stated that
the data compiled will be used to complete the preliminary analysis for
the upcoming abstracts. Final data transfer: Depends on when South Carolina
is finished with their survey. 1. Medical history table/scale scoring:
Dr. McCreath reported that the coordinating center has not distributed
the medical history table or any of the scale scoring because the data
set has just been compiled. Action Item: Dr. McCreath will distribute the
medical history table and the scale scoring within the next couple of weeks.
2. Open-ended text: Dr. McCreath reported that the open-ended text coding
has been processed for everyone except Drs. Pulley and McKeown.. Dr. Pulley
reported that she needed some additional information regarding clarity
to complete. Action Item: Dr. Pulley will put an asterisk by the responses
that need more information and email back to Dr. McCreath. Action Item:
Dr. McKeown will work on this the week of January 18, 1999 and return to
Dr. McCreath. 4. Analysis: Dr. McCreath stated that the coordinating center
has begun working on the data analyses for the hysterectomy abstract that
Dr. Lewis and Kate Wheeler requested. V. Up-date on intervention committee
activities: Dr. Richter reported that the committee had been focusing on
the video selection process and is now ready to start working on the other
interventions such as South Carolina who will begin working with focus
groups of a targeted audience in late January/early February to see what
kinds of interventions would work best with their populations. Dr. Cornell
stated that Hall and Foushee Communications, Inc. were chosen as the videographer
and the day of the award Ms. Hall called and requested information about
the project. Dr. Herman stated that New Mexico has a group of women who
have been interviewed pre and post hysterectomy and have signed consent
forms and have stated that they would be willing to participate in anything.
Action Item: The committee suggested that the videographer sign a confidentiality
agreement as part of the record. Action Item: The intervention committee
will have a conference call on Tuesday, January 19, 1999 @ 1:00 P.M. CST.
Action Item: The invention committee decided to have Ms. Hall join the
conference call on Tuesday, January 19, 1999 to begin the communication
process. Action Item: The intervention committee will meet on Monday, February
1, 1999 @ 5:00 P.M. VI. ENDOW Study Group Meeting Tuesday, February 2,
1999 @ 8:00 am - 12:00 P.M. Sheraton Colony Square, Atlanta, GA Agenda:
Intervention discussion, with some publications and analyses issues. VII.
Publications: 1. Journal of Women’s Health: Dr. Richter reported that all
the individual site papers had been received and miscellaneous corrections
had been made. Drs. Richter and Galavotti will write the introduction and
the summary in order to complete the supplement. 2. APHA submission: The
abstract deadline is February 3, 1999. The APHA meeting is November 7-11,
1999 in Chicago, Illinois. The abstract submission form is on the web site.
The committee decided to submit several abstracts based on the discussion
at the October New Mexico meeting. Dr. McKeown explained the two types
of APHA sponsorship: Co-sponsor: Look at all other sections’ programs and
list what might be interesting to their section as being sponsored by their
section, but don’t really have anything to do with the planning. Jointly
sponsored: Really is co-sponsored and both of the sections have to review
the abstracts. Dr. McKeown stated that co-sponsor is easier, because each
abstract will be submitted to a specific section and then the section would
contact other caucuses such as the Women’s and Hispanic caucuses and ask
them to be a sponsor of the section. Dr. McKeown stated that the EPI section
will blind review the abstracts. Each abstract will be submitted separately,
and then an overall abstract will be submitted to link the abstracts together
for a panel session.. Action Item: The committee decided to submit abstracts
to Epi section and link them as a panel discussion. Action Item: Dr. Lewis
will write the overall abstract for the Epi section.. Action Item: The
conference call will be on Friday, January 29, 1999 @ 11:00 CST to approve
these abstracts. Action It em: The committee will submit abstracts to the
coordinating center by Thursday, January 28, 1999 for distribution to the
committee prior to the conference call. Action Item: Individual site abstracts
should be submitted to the coordinating center for documentation only,
do not need approval for submission VII. Miscellaneous: Dr. Suzanne Folger
introduced herself to the committee and stated that she is willing to help
in any way that she is needed. Dr. Folger came to CDC in 1986 starting
working in Infectious Diseases, then moved to Environmental Epidemiology
and came to the Division of Reproductive Health about 3 Return to ENDOW

Meeting Tuesday and Wednesday, May 11-12, 1999 Galveston, Texas Attendees:
Dr. Robert McKeown, Dr. Donna Richter, University of South Carolina; Dr.
Carla Herman, Dr. Clo Mingo, Ina Bawaya, University of New Mexico; Dr.
Jan Groff, Dr. Teresa Byrd, Emily Lees, Dr. Adriana Linares, Dr. Guillermo

LeaVonne Pulley, Dr. Dale Williams, University of Alabama at Birmingham;
Dr. Suzanne Folger, CDC Review and approve minutes from 4/2/99 conference
call The minutes were accepted without additions or modifications. ITEM
1: CDC report Dr. Folger reported that fifth year funding is to be awarded
in the fall; carry over will be approved. Continuation applications will
be due 7/23. There has been some delay in previous approvals of carry over;
sites are asked to notify Dr. Folger if this is a problem in the future
so she can assist with the process. A meeting of the WHI is being planned
for Fall, 2001 by Dr. Finnegan in Washington, DC. One of the objectives
of the meeting is to identify next steps for funding. A monograph is to
be pub lished from the meeting, most likely summaries and accomplishments
of the projects. ITEM 2: Review project timelines and current activity
report The project is in the final quarter of Year 4; Year 5 will be evaluation
of the interventions. Hall-Foushee is on schedule: much of the footage
has been shot and the script for the English version was faxed to the meeting.
Additional intervention materials such as brochures will be discussed.
Hall-Foushee is experienced in developing companion materials to videos
and this option will be explored. Funding may not be available in the intervention
supplement so sites may have to fund these activities themselves. UAB is
planning focus groups and finalizing questions. Companion materials to
accompany the video are desired. Plans are underway to develop brochures
as well as materials for peer-led groups that will include a brief introduction
to the biologic systems and role playing exercises. USC has begun conducting
focus groups for the intervention. On the basis of their community advisory
committee's suggestions, they will also conduct focus groups with Hispanics
who have been moving into the area. In addition, access to a clinic population
has been gained. They will use this to validate the self-report of medical
conditions provided in the survey. They have also done some provider interviews.
UNM is working on their data to answer relevant questions. The Women's
Exchange office in Gallup has opened and is taking off. Women are coming
to look for resource material that Ina has been developing. Interest has
been high and they have compiled a report of outreach activities to date,
including TV and radio call-in shows done by project staff. The community
is more interested in menopause than hysterectomy. Also, the Northern Navajo
Medical Center has a video center and is interested in working with project
staff to develop a video on menopause informed from the survey and using
decision-making techniques. UT is working through their data, looking at
effect of acculturation on m any issues. This will be important to intervention
development. Further focus groups will wait until specific intervention
components are complete. As the intervention will focus on African Americans,
they are exploring access to the community, with a pilot intervention scheduled
for Acre Homes, an area with a large African American community. Also,
the clinics there serve a Mexican-American catchment area. UT has also
developed a partnership with another community to expand delivery and the
ENDOW project will be a test case for these activities. They are planning
both community and practice-based activities. In addition, the ENDOW project
team is working on revising the autonomy preference instrument to explore
the opinions of providers on patient autonomy and preferences. They will
also develop a provider intervention. They will survey lesbian women at
a conference and perhaps the Gay Pride parade in Dallas. Dr. Williams reported
some modifications to the PRC program. Dr. Darwin LaBarthe has been elected
to the Directors Committee chair. He will be interested in any information
relevant to the programs' accomplishments, particularly in the context
of materials the Legislative Committee can use and Dr. Williams encouraged
investigators to communicate such information to Dr. LaBarthe. ACTION ITEM:
Dr. Lewis will check the supplement budget to see if there is additional
funding for other modalities such as brochures. ITEM 3: Data Management
and Analysis Subcommittee report A. Status of final data set Dr. McCreath
reported that the dataset is in the final stages of cleaning. Details of
translation, coding, and skip patterns are being worked through and documentation
is being prepared. The Subcommittee has been working through this process,
especially the differences between the sites. Hopefully, the first version
of the core data will be available next week. A copy of the core survey,
each site's survey, and a summary table will accompany the dataset. Both
the documentation and the data are planned for distributio n through the
website. USC has located another 30 surveys; these will be incorporated
into the final data set distributed later this year. The Navajo data will
not be distributed with the final data, nor will the Texas convenience
sample of lesbians and their pilot data. These data will, however, be available
at the Coordinating Center. Dr. Herman asked about a summary of each site's
survey methodology. This was sent to Trena. Dr. Lewis will locate the documents
and will send them to the sites. B. Discussion of open-ended response coding
All nontruncated data are now in Dr. McCreath's possession. These will
be sent out for coding and due back to Dr. McCreath July 1. Then, the reproducibility
of the categorization schemes will be evaluated by another site developing
a category list for a subset of responses. If there is congruence, the
Coordinating Center will recode a subset of the responses and calculate
inter-rater reliability. We hope to finalize this process by the end of
the summer so that the data are available for APHA presentations. Most
of the data should be ready by Sept. 1. More than one response was included
in some sites and these data will need to be captured. C. Data analysis
strategies and methodologies for survey data Dr. Williams presented tables
of the survey data. Comparing the non-Hispanic whites across centers and
comparing ethnic groups within center will be straightforward. Comparing
across ethnic group and site will require adjusting for center. For example,
Hispanics in New Mexico are a bit older than Hispanics in Texas, African
Americans are generally younger than non-Hispanic whites across all centers,
and incomes are quite high in South Carolina non-Hispanic whites and generally
low in Texas. Dr. McCreath presented representative descriptive data tables
so the group could begin to get a feel for the dataset. There are a large
number of women who replied "Don't know" to several items for some of the
scores (such as the menopause attitudes); it will need to be determined
if some women repeatedly replied "Don't know" for many items or if many
women had that reply for a few items. Because of how Texas asked questions
on number of children, the number of live births should be used across
centers as a surrogate for pregancy history. Menopausal status is also
an area of confusion; there are a number of missing responses for these
items, in part due to women's confusion and in part based on how sites
asked the questions. New Mexico and South Carolina have more questions
in this area. Because of skip patterns, we do not know the number of ovaries
women have if they had a tubal ligation (except in Texas). It may be that
menopausal status will not be classifiable for all women. Texas did not
ask about current use of HRT, but the data can be obtained from the questions
asked (ever taken and still taking). Use of herbal hormone preparations
will need to be characterized in New Mexico. Dr. McKeown began a discussion
of how to determine menopausal status, and the scoring of the menopausal
attitudes for women who replied that they did not know for specific items.
For menopausal status, sites differed in questions asked and order. For
women who reported they have gone through menopause, we do not know the
basis for this response. It could have been due to hysterectomy, or due
to cessation of menses, or to some other factor. It would be possible to
categorize women two ways, one would be women's self-report and one would
be medically, based on age, surgery, etc. It may be problematic to summarize
all the information we have into one variable. Dr. Williams stated that
cross-site comparisons may best be made using different dimensions for
different site comparisons, in other words using a set of definitions.
This would maximize the information used. Dr. Groff stated that one interesting
report would be the correlation between self-report and status based on
a series of variables on periods, surgery etc. Dr. McCreath stated that
the site-specific data would be useful for some of these analyses, but
would not be distributed with the core data. Dr. Herman stated that the
HRT paper will also need to consider this issue. Dr. Pulley pointed out
that all 3 sites that asked the menopause attitudes questions all asked
the single question, "Have you gone through menopause?" This single item
could be used for that analysis. Scoring of the menopausal attitudes questions
- there are some women who refused one specific item (there are few), there
are women who reported that they did not know, and some women who neither
agreed nor disagreed. Should we impute for women with missing responses?
How should we treat women with don't know responses? Dr. Pulley stated
that women who were given the option to neither agree nor disagree but
who replied they did not know, should not be classified as neither agree
nor disagree. She also stated that it was her experience that women who
had not experienced a condition or procedure were reluctant to state an
opinion, and would state that they didn't know; this is more common in
African Americans. Dr. Groff stated that not equating don't know with neither
agree nor disagree would mean that a scale could not be calculated and
nonparametric techniques would need to be used for analysis of each item.
Another very informative paper would be to look at the characteristics
of women and items that would garner large numbers of "Don't know" responses.
Dr. McKeown stated he would avoid imputing for this scale, since it has
relatively few items. Dr. Williams stated that a sensitivity analysis could
be done to explore different strategies of imputing. Dr. McCreath stated
that the only other items this would apply to are the outcome expectancies.
The conclusion was that the study needs to continue to develop strategies
for handling classifications during analyses, sensitivity analyses for
different scoring approaches, and consistent discussions of the analysis
challenges for inclusion in manuscripts. ACTION ITEM: Dr. Lewis will locate
the survey methodology documents from the sites and will send them to the
s ites. DONE except for Texas document. ACTION ITEM: The CC will distribute
the final dataset next week. ACTION ITEM: Dr. McCreath will send the open-ended
data to specific investigators for coding. Coding should be completed and
returned by July 1. She will also check on the coding of marital status
for Texas. ITEM 4: Publication Subcommittee report A. Up-date on proposed
paper progress Dr. Lewis distributed copies of the publications grids from
the web site. Each site should be sure that the list and status of publications
and presentations, both center-specific and study-wide, are current. Please
send any changes to Trena. The major analyses from the survey previously
discussed, those topics for which abstracts were written for APHA, need
to be pursued now that the dataset is almost complete. Only Dr. Lewis'
paper has been proposed; others need to submit their paper proposals. Dr.
Richter reported that the qualitative special issue papers have been submitted
to the Journal of Women's Health. There are seven papers included: an overview
paper of qualitative research, an overview of ENDOW, four site specific
papers and a wrap up paper. We will receive feedback from the journal in
June (presumably the peer reviewers' comments), publication will occur
3 months after final acceptance in a special supplement. B. Up-date on
APHA presentations All the abstracts have been informally accepted as a
Special Session. Official word of acceptance has not been sent as yet.
No laptop projectors will be available unless provided by the speakers.
Dr. Groff stated that it would be helpful to have a meeting and go over
these presentations prior to the APHA meeting. C. New analysis ideas Investigators
should consider additional data analyses from the survey data, as well
as the qualitative data. The group also needs to plan ahead for reports
of the intervention activities, to occur in Year 5. From the survey, Dr.
Cornell mentioned that analyses of proxies for SES (e.g., income, health
insurance access) and decision making will be ti mely. Analyses of information
channels and attitudes may also be of interest. Dr. Herman mentioned the
analyses of the many things women have reported they have not heard of
or don't have information about will be an important analysis, especially
for intervention development. Dr. Groff stated that the group will need
to decide how to approach issues of ethnicity and SES in analyses. Dr.
Herman stated that reports of symptoms, comparing women with hysterectomy
and those without, is important and may be a paper itself. Further, looking
at women who didn't have a hysterectomy but may have considered it or had
it recommended to them, would also be an interesting analysis. How are
they different from women who received the procedure? This will require
combining across sites due to small numbers. Dr. Groff stated that development
and psychometric properties of the hysterectomy and HRT outcome expectancy
scales will also be reported as well as the relationships between these
scales and other factors, totaling 4 papers. Acculturation factors and
the qualitative report of the African American and lesbian focus groups
will be reported by Texas. Dr. Cornell stated that for interventions, a
report could be generated on the development and piloting of the video
and accompanying materials. Dr. Groff stated that a report of how the interventions
were developed, such as use of qualitative data, would also be of interest.
SOPHE has a new journal, Health Education Practice, that may be interested
in papers of this type. ACTION ITEM: Dr. Lewis will ask Trena to change
the status of study-wide paper #2 to "Proposed". ACTION ITEM: Each site
should be sure that publications and presentations, both center-specific
and study-wide, are updated. Send updates to Trena. ACTION ITEM: Paper
proposals for the major survey data papers (eg, menopause and HRT) should
be submitted for approval. ITEM 4: Intervention Committee report A. Intervention
planning - progress on video tape production, other intervention material
development Dr. Richter r eported that Nancy Hall is almost done with shooting.
A draft of the script was reviewed. Critical points will be stressed both
visually and verbally. Humorous aspects are modeled in a constructive way
so as not to negatively reflect on providers; these will model what should
happen as well as humorously showing what often does happen. These aspects
are drawn from the focus groups. All sites should review the draft script
and get comments to the intervention committee before their next conference
call. Dr. Herman asked for information on the contract timeline and deliverables.
Will the sites receive multiple copies of the video? Are additional items,
such as brochures, budgeted? Dr. Lewis will clarify. The video will be
provided, both Spanish and English, by the end of September. The Hall-Foushee
subcontract covers only the video. Nancy Hall wanted information on acknowledgements.
The committee members will be acknowledged as contributing to the development
of the video. Nancy Hall should check the contract language regarding these
issues. Texas and New Mexico staff will review the Spanish version; some
issues will be added to address unique cultural aspects for that community.
It will vary somewhat from the English version. Dr. Linares reported that
bilingual speaking women who were interviewed did their own translations.
Otherwise, Dr. Linares did the translations. The importance of the family
was mentioned often and will be incorporated into the video. Hispanics
who prefer to speak English may be different, and may relate differently
to the different videos. It remains to be determined how women will select
which they want to view. Dr. Groff stated that the supplementary brochures
will assist with this. Dr. Cornell reviewed needs for other materials besides
the video. Brochures, handouts reviewing anatomy, decision skills work
sheets, decisional balance sheets, and discussion guide for community-
based peer-led support groups were discussed. These could be developed
for both hysterectomy and HRT use. Dr. Grof f stated that the AHCPR brochure
on "10 Questions to Ask Before Surgery "would be helpful. The committee
will explore how to access these. The video does not cover what a hysterectomy
is; this would need to be in supplementary materials. Texas will explore
materials for instruction on anatomy and will report back on availability.
These would be useful for peer-led groups. Materials for use by other providers
(e.g., nurse practitioners) would be helpful. Dr. Mingo stated that a postcard
with a few evaluation questions would be helpful and could be disseminated
with the video. This would give us counts on how many videos were disseminated
and give some evaluation information. This could be developed this year
and used for intervention evaluation next year. A more detailed pre- and
post- intervention evaluation would also be needed; it could be completed
in the peer-led groups. Dr. Richter stated that we need to consider how
and where these materials would be used during the development phase. Dr.
Groff stated that materials to take home for use by family members are
needed. Also, a list of where to find other materials and good information
would be useful. Dr. Herman stated that advice on how to evaluate and use
health information would be very helpful for women; they are gathering
lists of Internet resources and will share with the other sites and Ms
Bayana is developing a brochure. Dr. Groff stated that NERI has produced
a kit and workbook on partnering with your doctor for elderly women. Dr.
Linares is expecting this material from NERI and will report on progress.
This may be useful if the age group is appropriate and if it is generic
enough. The Committee will further explore these issues, and will plan
another meeting for this purpose. B. Up-date on Intervention planning activities
in each site These activities were discussed under review of project timelines.
C. Intervention planning data needs and intervention/ evaluation plans
(Year 5) Large amounts of data are now available from the survey and focus
group s, and more groups will be completed in certain sites for planning
the intervention. Dr. Groff stated that women expressed the desire for
information and for involvement so the intervention plans are consistent
with their wishes. Dr. Lewis stated that plans for evaluation activities
in Year 5 are needed. It would be useful to have more consistency between
sites than we had for the survey. Dr. Pulley stated that pre- and post-test
instruments for individual women who go through the intervention could
be developed. One approach would be to have a bank of questions that could
be used, and might be somewhat generic for different interventions. Some
items from the survey could be used. Dr. Williams asked if different interventions
will be piloted. Dr. Groff stated that the interventions will be the same
generally, but dissemination may be different. Dr. Pulley asked what constructs
will be measured and how would they be operationalized. She stated that
one level will be process measures: how many women attended a session,
how many videos were sent out, etc. Another level would be individual-level
measures of pre- and post-intervention change, such as self-efficacy, knowledge,
and attitudes. It would be too expensive to plan a formal trial of women
who received the intervention vs. those who didn't. The strategy will be
to assess the feasability of different aspects of intervention, such as
peer-led support groups. Dr. Williams asked the Committee to state what
the interventions are and to carefully consider the design of the pilot
study. The next Intervention Committee meeting will focus on the development
of evaluation tools. The content of the intervention materials will drive
some of the evaluation items. The evaluation instrument will be short (1-2
pages), although different intervention formats may allow more information
to be collected. ACTION ITEM: Dr. Lewis will review and circulate the subcontract
and budget for the intervention supplement so that the sites are clear
on what is budgeted for centrally, and wh at will require funding by the
individual sites. ACTION ITEM: All sites should review the draft script
and get comments to the Intervention Committee before their next conference
call. ACTION ITEM: Texas will explore materials for instruction on anatomy
and will report back on availability. ACTION ITEM: The Intervention Committee
will select dates for a meeting to discuss intervention evaluation materials
and strategies. Dr. Lewis will check the travel budget. DONE The Intervention
Committee held a breakout session to further explore issues from the general
meeting, and reported back to the group. They discussed plans for a meeting
July 8 and 9 in Albuquerque and Dr. Herman will begin to make arrangements
for the meeting. Sites will come with their written intervention protocol
and evaluation plan site as well as recommendations for core questions
for an evaluation instrument to be used at each site. They will bring examples
of materials. They will decide what materials will need to be produced
by the group (such as supplementary materials to accompany the video) and
items to be developed by each site. They will plan for data needs for the
evaluation to assist the Coordinating Center in planning. They would like
the Coordinating Center to provide a template of information needed for
continuation funding, if needed. ACTION ITEM: Dr Herman will begin meeting
planning for July and will work with the Coordinating Center to finalize
plans. ACTION ITEM: Sites will bring written intervention protocol and
evaluation plans as well as recommendations for core questions for an evaluation
instrument and examples of materials. ITEM 5: Further discussion of potential
grant submission to AHCPR for future funding Dr. Lewis began the discussion
by summarizing previous discussion of the group's interest in this. Dr.
Herman had materials from the AHCPR website, which include interest in
projects looking at effective models of informed, shared decision-making
for women (98-049). Marci Gross, the Senior Advisor on Women's Health,
wo uld be the contact person. The group discussed designs and goals of
such a submission. A trial to test the interventions developed in ENDOW
was discussed. The goal would test the hysterectomy interventions with
the primary outcome of quality of life, and secondary outcomes of cost-effectiveness.
Without a provider piece, the intervention would be on the consumer and
not shared decision-making. Therefore, a provider intervention would be
desirable and a 2X2 design would accommodate these questions nicely. Such
a decision-making trial could be seen as a complement to the on-going 3
trials on medicine vs. surgery funded by AHCPR which have had recruitment
problems. The issues our trial would address occur before the decision
of management strategy is made. Dr. McKeown stated that the bioethics community
believes there is interest among providers in promoting shared decision-making,
but they don't feel they have time to do it. Developing tools for providers
could thus be very appealing. An interactive CD-ROM could be done by the
woman that would educate the woman, document her preferences and then her
consent for treatment. This could then be reviewed by the provider and
treatment started. This would be similar to a formalized decisional balance
sheet that would address literacy issues, and would be the provider piece
to be tested. An issue will be the relatively small numbers of women expected
to be poised to make the decision regarding hysterectomy. The numbers of
women may be low. Also, the emphasis would be on a clinical, not community-based
intervention. A more generalized approach to decision-making, not focused
on hysterectomy, might be less appealing to AHCPR. However, the announcement
from AHCPR indicates that such a generalized project, not disease specific,
might be of interest to them. In addition, use of prescription drugs is
also of interest to the agency, so the project could be centered around
HRT. Since the focus of our intervention is on decision-making skills with
hysterectomy as an example, our i ntervention experience is still relevant.
Cost-effectiveness would be a minor issue for such a trial on HRT. Outcomes
could be adherence, initiation, and cessation, but would be difficult to
measure. Further, the knowledge base is changing fairly rapidly and it
would be a challenge to make the intervention flexible enough to accommodate
these changes. The group decided that hysterectomy would be the most appropriate
outcome to address. As the intervention pilot plans and the components
become more firmly outlined, AHCPR could be approached with the idea of
a project to pilot the provider piece and then pursue a trial as outlined
above. Other funding ideas would be Robert Wood Johnson Foundation that
likes to partner with other funding agencies, such as health plans or health
foundations. Sample size estimates will be helped by information from the
pilot testing of the intervention. Recruiting women with the conditions
for which hysterectomy is often performed, such as endometriosis and fibroids,
would expand the pool of women from which to recruit. The group should
continue to think through these issues. ITEM 6: Scientific presentations
and discussion: A. Attitudes to Menopause Dr. McKeown presented data from
his APHA abstract including women from Alabama, New Mexico, and South Carolina
(Texas did not administer the scale). There are many women excluded due
to missing data; one strategy will be to exclude women with a hysterectomy
to avoid some of the missing data problems. New Mexico reversed the order
of questions to determine menopausal status, and that could explain some
of the difference in their distribution of pre-, post-, and perimenopause.
There are 200 women missing from the UAB sample, women who stated they
had not gone through menopause but then volunteered that they had a hysterectomy
and who then skipped the perimenopause question. Strategies to approach
this problem were discussed. B. Navajo data analyses Dr. Herman discussed
data from the survey in New Mexico. There are large differences in educa
tional and income distributions between the non-Hispanic whites and the
other groups. Acculturation will also be an issue. Hysterectomy rates are
relatively low in New Mexico, especially in the Navajo, as expected due
to the Indian Health Service's management of care. A large number of Navajo
women did not know their menopausal status and had never heard of HRT and
"Don't know" responses are a challenge for analysis of several items. This
may be due, in part, to the fact that the concept of menopause is not really
relevant in the Navajo culture. Thus, age and traditionality of the individual
women affect the expressed attitudes and beliefs among the Navajo. Translation
may be an issue for some of the items as well. C. Future meetings and conference
call schedules The Intervention Committee is planning a meeting July 8
and 9 in Albuquerque. The next scheduled conference call for the entire
group is June 4, 1999 at 11 am CDT. The next face-to-face meeting of the
entire group will be scheduled so that the APHA presentations can be reviewed,
probably in September. The exact dates and location will be determined
on the next conference call. The next data management call is May 20 at
3:30 pm CDT. ACTION ITEM: Dates for the next face-to-face meeting of the
entire group will be finalized on the June call. Summary List of Action
Items: ACTION ITEM: Dr. Lewis will check the supplement budget to see if
there is
