Findings
SECONDARY
This secondary analysis using data from 248 participants in a randomized clinical trial comparing the Empowering Patients in Chronic Care (EPICC) intervention (123 participants) with enhanced usual care (EUC; 125 participants) found that the overall MCID value for DDS-17 was 0.25, and MCIDs were 0.38 for emotional and interpersonal distress subscales and 0.39 for physician and regimen distress subscales. Participants in the EPICC group were more likely to have significant improvements and less likely to have significant declines in DDS-17 compared with participants in EUC.
