Overview
Brief Summary
This study will refine and test the effectiveness of CareAvenue, an automated e-health tool that informs and activates patients with uncontrolled diabetes to take steps in accessing resources and engaging in self-care. Our central hypothesis is that activating patients with uncontrolled diabetes and linking them to resources to address financial burden and unmet social risk factors will improve both intermediate outcomes and measures of disease control above and beyond existing services, especially for high need patients.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Change in HbA1c as Measured by an HbA1c Machine
Time Frame: Assessed at Baseline, 6 months, 12 months (Change between baseline and 12 months reported)
HbA1c will be measured at baseline, 6 months, and 12 months using HbA1c machine. HbA1c is a measure of the average level of glucose in blood over the past 3 months measured as a percentage. The change in HbA1c from baseline to 12 months is reported here as the primary outcome.
Secondary Outcomes
- Change in Cost-Related Non-Adherence Behaviors With Prescribed Treatment Regimens Related to Other Conditions Being Managed as Measured by Participant Questionnaire(Assessed at Baseline, 6 months, 12 months (Change between baseline and 12 months reported))
- Change in Systolic Blood Pressure as Measured an Automated Blood Pressure Machine(Assessed at Baseline, 6 months, 12 months (Change between baseline and 12 months reported))
- Change in Cost-Related Non-Adherence Behaviors With Prescribed Treatment Regimens Related to Diabetes as Measured by Participant Questionnaire(Assessed at Baseline, 6 months, 12 months (Change between baseline and 12 months reported))
- Change in Unmet Social Risk Factors as Measured by 20 Items in Participant Questionnaire(Assessed at Baseline, 6 months, 12 months (Change between baseline and 12 months reported))
- Change in Perceived Financial Burden as Measured by the Comprehensive Score for Financial Toxicity (COST) - Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy (FACIT)(Assessed at Baseline, 6 months, 12 months (Change between baseline and 12 months reported))
- Change in Unmet Social Risk Factors as Measured by Participant Questionnaire(Assessed at Baseline, 6 months, 12 months (Change between baseline and 12 months reported))
