Abstract: Purpose: To estimate among people living with chronic HIV, to what extent providing feedback on their health outcomes will affect the number and specificity of patient-formulated self-management goals. Methods: A personalized feedback profile was produced for individuals enrolled in a Canadian HIV Brain Health Now study. Goal specificity was measured by total number of specific words (matched to a domain-specific developed lexicon) per person-words using text mining techniques. Results: Of 176 participants enrolled and randomly assigned to feedback and control groups, 110 responses were received. The average number of goals was similar for both groups (3.7 vs 3.9). The number of specific words used in the goals formulated by the feedback and control group were 642 and 739, respectively. Specific nouns and actionable verbs were present to some extent and "measurable" and "time-bound" words were mainly missing. Negative binomial regression showed no difference in goal specificity among groups (RR = 0.93, 95% CI 0.78–1.10). Goals set by both groups overlapped in 8 areas and had little difference in rank. Conclusion: Personalized feedback profile did not help with formulation of high-quality goals. Text mining has the potential to help with difficulties of goal evaluation outside of the face-to-face setting. With more data and use of learning models automated answers could be generated to provide a more dynamic platform. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
