Study Summary
The Peer Approaches to Lupus Self-Management (PALS) study is a randomized, controlled in which 360 African American women with lupus will be recruited from the MUSC SLE database (60 mentors and 300 mentees). The peer mentoring intervention (patients will be matched with peer mentors who are considered competent in the management of their condition to provide modeling and reinforcement to participants) will occur by telephone for approximately 60 minutes every two weeks for 24 weeks. All participants will be assessed at baseline, mid-intervention (12 weeks post-enrollment), immediately following the intervention (24 weeks post-enrollment), and 12 months post-enrollment. The study will last 60 months with recruitment and enrollment over 48 months, 6 months for intervention delivery and 6 months for data analysis.
Primary Outcome
Quality of life will be assessed by using The LUP-QOL (Lupus Quality of Life Questionnaire), which assesses areas of the participant's life that may be affected by lupus. The score ranges from 0-100. A score of '0' indicates the lowest quality of life, and a score of 100 indicates the best quality of life. The 'Overall Impact' field reported has a scale of 0-700. Higher values represent a better outcome.
