Brief Summary

A family dyad-focused diabetes self-management for African American adults with type 2 diabetes is a randomized controlled trial (RCT) that aims to test the feasibility, acceptability, and efficacy of a family-dyad focused intervention on glycemic control (hemoglobin A1c) and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in African American adults with type 2 diabetes (T2D).

Detailed Description

Eligible participants and their family members will be randomly assigned to either the intervention and control group. Patient-family-member dyads in the intervention arm will virtually receive 1) 10 session over 12 weeks of family dyad-focused, group sessions on diabetes self-management and family support; 2) family dyad-focused support component in each group session; and 3) individual family feedback telephone sessions.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change in diabetes controlBaseline (T1) to six months after intervention (T3) at month 11

Change in glycosylated hemoglobin A1c will be measured with finger stick blood with a glycosylated hemoglobin A1CNow+ test. Changes in average percent of A1c will be used in the study.

Change in health-related quality of lifeBaseline (T1) to six months after intervention (T3) at month 11

Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System Global Health (PROMIS 10) will be used to measure changes in total scores of the global physical and global mental health. Scores range from 0-100 with higher scores indicating better quality of life.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change in blood pressure controlBaseline (T1) to six months after intervention (T3) at month 11
