Not Applicable
Recruiting
Conditions
Type 2 Diabetes
Registration Number
NCT05559892
Lead Sponsor
State University of New York at Buffalo
Brief Summary

This study will test the preliminary efficacy of diabetes-tailored CCT (DM-CCT), which will be conditional on participating in biweekly (every two weeks), nurse-led, virtual diabetes education/skills training and stress/coping intervention compared to UCT (with no requirement for participation) on clinical outcomes, self-care behaviors, and psychological health in 100 inner city AAs with poorly controlled T2DM using an RCT design. The aims of the proposed study include:

AIM 1: Test the preliminary efficacy of the DM-CCT intervention on glycemic control and quality of life for inner-city AAs with T2DM.

AIM 2: Test the preliminary efficacy of the DM-CCT intervention on self-care behaviors and psychological health for inner-city AAs with T2DM.

AIM 3: Estimate the cost of delivery of the DM-CCT and UCT interventions in preparation for future cost effectiveness analysis.

Detailed Description

The overarching aim of this proposal is to test the preliminary efficacy of diabetes-tailored CCT (DM-CCT conditional on participating in biweekly, nurse-led, virtual diabetes education/skills training and stress/coping intervention) compared to UCT (with no requirement for participation) on clinical outcomes, self-care behaviors, and psychological health in inner city African Americans with poorly controlled T2DM. One hundred (100) individuals will be randomized to either the DM-CCT intervention or the UCT intervention and followed for 6-months, with study visits at baseline, 3-months, and 6-months. The primary outcomes will be glycemic control (HbA1c) and quality of life (SF-12) at 6-months post randomization. The secondary outcomes will be self-care behaviors (diet, exercise, medication adherence) and psychological health (stress, coping) measured at 6-months post randomization. In preparation for future cost effectiveness studies, the final aim will estimate the cost of delivery of the DM-CCT and UCT interventions.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Glycemic control (HbA1c)Change from baseline HbA1c at 6 months post intervention follow-ups

Blood specimens (10cc of blood) will be obtained by trained phlebotomists or nurse for HbA1c.

Quality of Life as measured by SF-12Change from baseline quality of life measure at 6 months post intervention follow-ups

The SF-12 (Ware 1996) is a valid and reliable instrument to measure functional status and reproduces 90% of the variance in PCS-36 and MCS-36 scores.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Self-CareChange from baseline self-care at 6 months post intervention follow-ups

Behavioral skills will be assessed with the Summary of Diabetes Self-Care Activities (SDSCA) scale (Toobert 2000), a brief, validated questionnaire of diabetes self-care.
