- Registration Number
- NCT04743778
- Lead Sponsor
- University of Michigan
- Brief Summary
This pilot randomized control trial will be testing an empowerment-based virtual group diabetes self-management education and support (DSME/S) for African American/Black adults with type 2 diabetes living in Detroit. Participants will be randomized to either a control group or the virtual DSME/S group.
- Detailed Description
This pilot randomized control trial will be testing an empowerment-based virtual group diabetes self-management education and support (DSME/S) for African American/Black adults with type 2 diabetes living in Detroit. Participants interested in participating in this study will first be consented then they will complete a baseline health assessment including a questionnaire and physiologic testing. Using a 50/50 randomization scheme, participants will be randomized to either a control group or the virtual DSME/S group and be told of their placement. Participants randomized to the control group will receive community resources, diabetes specific newsletters, and pedometers. Participants randomized to the virtual DSME/S group will receive 10-weekly 1-hour virtual DSME/S sessions with a certified diabetes care and education specialists through Zoom for Health at the University of Michigan, a HIPPA compliant platform. After the intervention is complete and then again 3 months later, participants in both groups will be invited to complete an additional health assessment.
However, due to low recruitment we removed the control arm and offered all participants virtual DSME/S.

Group Intervention Description Virtual Diabetes Self-Management Education and Support Virtual Diabetes Self-Management Education and Support Participants will receive one hour of DSME/S delivered by a Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist (CDCES) per week for 10 weeks delivered via the Zoom for Health at U-M service may be used for Protected Health Information (PHI, regulated by HIPAA). To ensure treatment fidelity, three DSME/S sessions will be selected at random and recorded and rated for fidelity to the above content by our research team.
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Depression baseline and at 3 months Measured using the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9). A PHQ-9 score of 0-4 means none-minimal depression severity, a score of 5-9 means mild depression severity, a score of 10-14 means moderate depression severity, a score of 15-19 means moderately severe depression, and 20-27 means severe depression.
Regimen Adherence baseline and at 3 months Measured using the Perceived Diabetes Self-Management Scale (PDSMS), a self-report questionnaire used to measure a broad range of management behaviors, such as insulin management, dietary management, blood glucose monitoring, symptom response, and parent assistance/supervision. The total PDSMS score can range from 8 to 40, with higher scores indicating more confidence in self-managing one's diabetes. For this study, we reported mean change in PDSMS score.
Metabolic Control of A1c (Mean Change in A1C) baseline and at 3 months Measured using the DCA 2000 point-of-care testing instrument. The American Diabetes Association recommends people living with diabetes to have an A1C below 7.0%.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Body Mass Index (BMI) baseline 3 months Calculated using height and weight. Height will be measured using a stadiometer. Weight will be measured on a high quality, calibrated digital scale. Underweight = \<18.5 Normal weight = 18.5-24.9 Overweight = 25-29.9 Obesity = BMI of 30 or greater
For this study, we reported the mean change in BMI.Blood Pressure baseline and at 3 months Measured using the auscultatory method. The American Diabetes Association recommends people living with type 2 diabetes to have a blood pressure target of 130/80 mmHg.
Diabetes Social Support baseline and at 3 months Measured using the Chronic Illness Resources Survey. This survey has a minimum score of 22 and a maximum score of 110. The higher the value, the more support and resources someone has for managing their illness. We measured the mean change in score.
Diabetes-Related Distress baseline and at 3 months Measured using the Diabetes Distress Scale. The score is calculated by averaging 17 items on the questionnaire. Scores range from 1 to 6, with 1 being the least distressed and 6 being the most distressed. We consider a mean item score of 3 or higher (moderate distress) as a level of distress worthy of clinical attention. We reported the mean change in diabetes distress below.
Diabetes Quality of Life baseline and at 3 months Measured using the Diabetes Quality of Life Questionnaire. The 46-item DQoL scale consists of four domains and is measured using a 5-point Likert scale, where scores are averaged across all domains and summed. Scores range from 0 to 100. The higher the score, the higher the quality of life. We reported the mean change below.
