Overview
Brief Summary
The main objective of this study is to develop and evaluate a clinic-based pilot intervention to optimize patient-centered diabetes care for low income patients at risk for low quality diabetes care and poor outcomes.
Detailed Description
Single arm trial of a brief screening tool to identify areas of treatment burden in patients with diabetes, which will then be used as a tool in a primary care clinician visit discussion. We will assess (primary outcome) the acceptability and feasibility of 1. recruitment and retention processes; 2. screening tool usability; and (secondary outcomes) 3. outcome assessments. Data will include systematic tracking of recruitment and retention efforts, baseline and follow-up participant data, post-visit surveys of clinicians and participants, and patient participant qualitative interviews.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Acceptability
Time Frame: Baseline to 6 month follow up
Helpfulness and utility of the intervention screening tool as assessed by 1) patient post intervention surveys and clinician post intervention surveys to identify patterns of patient and clinician participants' impressions of the helpfulness and utility of the intervention, and 2) acceptability of the intervention using qualitative interviews.
Feasibility of the clinical trial
Time Frame: Baseline to 6 month follow up
Patients' willingness to participate in the study as assessed by: 1) percentage of approached and eligible patients who consent to enroll in the study, 2) percentage of participants who completed the study procedures including baseline survey data collection, 3) use of the screening tool and completion of the post-intervention visit survey 4) time (days) to recruit 50 subjects across 2 clinic sites.
Secondary Outcomes
- Change in HbA1c(Baseline and 6 month follow up)
