简要总结

The specific aims of this study are to test whether in a cohort of low-income minority veterans with poor diabetes mellitus (DM) control:

  1. Peer counseling is an effective means of reducing HbA1c (a measure of glucose control).
  2. Financial incentives are an effective means of reducing HbA1c. This is a randomized controlled pilot study. There will be 3 arms: 1) a control group of poorly controlled diabetics getting usual care; 2) peer counseling with no incentives; and 3) financial incentives without peers. Ultimately, contingent on the success of this intervention, the researchers plan to apply for funding for a large scale intervention employing both peer counseling and incentives to improve DM control in low income and minority patients who are at high risk for premature morbidity and mortality.

研究组 & 干预措施

Control

No Intervention

This group will receive usual diabetes care through their primary care clinicians.

Peer counseling

Experimental

A peer counselor will be assigned to each participant who currently has good diabetes control but had poor control in the past 3 years.

干预措施: Assigned a peer counselor (Behavioral)

Financial incentives

Experimental

Patient participants in the financial incentive arm will be given $100 for reduction of HbA1c by 1 point in a 6 month period and $200 for reduction by 2 points.

干预措施: Financial incentives (Behavioral)

结局指标
