Conflict of Interest
Institutions must file significant disclosures to the National Institutes of Health if they determine financial relationships could affect the design, conduct or reporting of the NIH-funded research. The NIH provided us with their entire financial conflict of interest database, with filings from 2012 through 2019.

An RCT of an Educational Video to Improve Nursing Home Care in End-Stage Dementia
Better advance care planning (ACP) is a key opportunity to improve advance dementia care. Video decision support is a practical, evidence-based, and innovative approach to ACP. The over-riding goal of this study is to conduct a cluster randomized controlled trial of an ACP intervention for nursing home residents with advanced dementia consisting of a video decision support tool for their healthcare proxies and feedback of their preferred level of care to care providers. We will evaluate the intervention's effect on the proxy's choice of the level of care, documented ACP, and the use of burdensome treatments. If successful, this will be one of the first rigorously tested interventions shown to improve outcomes in advanced dementia. This work could have significant clinical and policy implications for the millions of Americans dying with this disease by promoting care that is more consistent with their preferences and that is less burdensome and costly.

Notes: When a more specific filing date is not available for an individual financial disclosure or conflict of interest form, we use the year the form was filed. If the year was not disclosed, we report the range of years covered by our public records requests. In a few cases, a start date was provided instead of a filing date. In those cases, we use the start date instead.
Fewer than 10% of records from the University of Florida and fewer than 1% of records from the University of Texas system were removed because they did not contain enough information.
