Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Non Drug Trial

Brief name of intervention: Prompt Sheet

2 arms:
Arm 1-Control (no prompt sheet given)
Arm 2-Intervention (prompt sheet given)

Brief description of prompt sheet:
-Prompt sheet is a sheet of information (on a piece of paper) about Erectile Dysfunction- the prevalence and relevance to cardiovascular diseases. There are options at the end of the information on whether the patients want to discuss about their sexual problems.
-The targeted patients were male patients with diabetes who came for their follow up at the government health clinics.
-This sheet was given to the patients before entering the consultation room. Then they handed over to the attending doctor to address issues, if any.
-The patient information sheet of the study was given face to face (one to one basis) by the researcher. After they agreed to enroll in the study, they were given the prompt sheet (intervention group).
-After the consultation, the patients gave their feedback to the researcher (stating whether the issues were addressed by the attending doctor or not).
-The approximate duration of the consultation (with the doctor) is about 20 to 30 minutes.
-The intervention is delivered only once at the first follow-up appointment with doctor (within one year duration-yearly)

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 323591 0
This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of a prompt sheet in initiating the discussion of sexual dysfunction among male patients with diabetes in a primary care setting.
The feedback was given through study-specific questionnaire.
Timepoint [1] 323591 0
Feedback (which was given immediately following the consultation) on the initiation of sexual dysfunction discussion after the consultation.
Secondary outcome [1] 382296 0
Patients' satisfaction with approach (promptsheet) on how to discuss about their sexual health with the attending doctor. The satisfaction was assessed using a brief semi-sturctured interview after the consulation.
Timepoint [1] 382296 0
Immediately following the consultation.

Efficacy
Statistical methods / analysis
The sample size was calculated using Power and Sample Size Calculator (Dupont and Plummer 1997).
All data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 23.
The outcome were analyzed with either chi-square, Fisher’s exact, independent T test or Mann Whitney U test depending on the types and skewness of the data. The analysis on the outcome was analyzed using chi-square and odds ratio was calculated to determine the impact of intervention on study outcome. The p value of less than 0.05 indicates statistically significant association. Multiple logistic regression was used to adjustment for baseline difference between intervention and control groups.
