Weekly surveys could help veterans with IBD stay healthier between doctor visits
NCT ID NCT07210580
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a program of weekly surveys can help veterans with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) feel better and avoid flare-ups. About 250 veterans at four VA hospitals will either get the usual care or also complete short weekly check-ins for 12 months. The goal is to see if this simple monitoring tool improves quality of life and helps care teams act faster when problems arise.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Measurement-Based Care (weekly surveys and feedback)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could give doctors a simple way to keep track of patients between visits, catching problems early and improving daily life for veterans with IBD.
- What could go wrong
- This is a behavioral study, not a drug trial, so the benefits may be modest. It is also limited to veterans at four sites, so results may not apply to everyone.

Inclusion Criteria: Inclusion criteria for Veteran patients include: * receiving IBD care at one of the four sites * reporting an impaired IBD-specific HRQOL using the Short IBD Questionnaire (SIBDQ\<60, as used by others) * willingness and ability to participate in study procedures Clinic staff criteria: * relevant clinic staff (gastroenterologists, advanced practice providers, nurses) involved in MBC in IBD at the four study sites (Ann Arbor, Atlanta, Houston, Portland). Exclusion Criteria: Veteran Patient Exclusion criteria: * Presence of an ostomy or ileal-pouch anal anastomosis * Severe comorbid medical condition that can confound PRO scores and treatment priorities (e.g., cancer, transplant). * Exclusions can be readily determined from chart review and a baseline patient assessment Clinic staff exclusion criteria: * Clinic staff without any experience with MBC in IBD.
