Abstract

Background: Methicillin-resistant or methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus skin and soft tissue infections pose serious clinical and public health challenges. Few protocols exist for outpatient education, decolonization and decontamination.<br />Objectives: This trial implemented infection prevention protocols in homes via community health workers/Promotoras.<br />Methods: We engaged clinicians, patient stakeholders, clinical and laboratory researchers, New York-based federally qualified health centers and community hospital emergency departments. The Clinician and Patient Stakeholder Advisory Committee (CPSAC) convened in person and remotely for shared decision-making and trial oversight.<br />Results: The intervention trial consented participants with skin and soft tissue infections from Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus or methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus, completed home visits, obtained surveillance cultures from index patients and household members and sampled household environmental surfaces at baseline and three months.<br />Lessons Learned: The retention of the CPSAC during the trial demonstrated high levels of engagement.<br />Conclusions: CPSAC was highly effective throughout design and execution by troubleshooting recruitment and home visit challenges.
