- Conditions
- Cardiovascular DiseasesType2 Diabetes Mellitus
- Registration Number
- NCT03736486
- Lead Sponsor
- Sansum Diabetes Research Institute
- Brief Summary
The Mil Familias Program is a 10-year initiative to reduce the burden of cardio-metabolic disease among Latino families in the Central Coast of California. The Mil Familias Program involves enrolling 1000 Latino families with at least one member in the family having type 2 diabetes, measuring the 5 determinants of human health: genetics, biology, behavior, psychology and environment, training Latino community health workers ("Especialistas") , creating a Living Information (bio)Bank and planning culturally-relevant interventions.
- Detailed Description
The Mil Familias Pilot Study aims to develop, operationalize and refine methods to both recruit and collect data from 100 adult participants pertaining to the 5 determinants of human health: genetics, biology, behavior, psychology and environment. Specially-trained Latino and bilingual community health workers known as "Especialistas" will be used to help gather data and to serve as the participants trustworthy health companion. Over 100 variables of information pertaining to the 5 determinants of human health (as listed above) will be gathered and stored to create a Living Information (bio)Bank particular to Latinos. The ultimate goal of this research is to provide the target population with effective, culturally-relevant interventions that are geared toward population specific needs.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Success (evaluated by Yes/No format) recruiting and establishing a pilot cohort of 100 Latino adults with Type 2 Diabetes and creating data collection methods to describe genetics, biology, behavior, psychology, & environment in Type 2 Diabetes 1 year Mil Familias Program Pilot will measure genetic influences by a family medical history \& biobank blood samples. Biologic influences will include laboratory blood draw, physical exam with vital signs \& waist circumference measurement, and complete medical \& medication history with female menopause, pregnancy, \& gestational diabetes status. Behavior influences will include sleep, stress, drug abuse, and diabetes self-assessment management questionnaires. Wearable devices will measure physical activity. Psychological influences will include Patient Health Questionnaire-9, Brief Perceived Ethnic Discrimination Questionnaire Community Version, and Short Form Health Survey. Social/environmental influences will include socio-demographics, Brief Acculturation Scale for Hispanics, personal opinions about type 2 diabetes, and questionnaires \[Short Assessment of Health Literacy, Trust in Physician, Health Leads Screening Toolkit, and U.S. Household Food Security Survey\].
