- Registration Number
- NCT06321029
- Lead Sponsor
- Indiana University
- Brief Summary
The primary aims of this study are:
1. To test the acceptability and feasibility of the electronic DTU intervention (eDTU) that has been adapted for cultural relevance and online delivery compared to waitlist control and the in-person DTU (iDTU). The hypothesis is that the adapted intervention will be culturally acceptable (by participant satisfaction scores) and well-subscribed (intervention attendance rates).
2. To test differences in diabetes distress and A1c change scores between intervention (changes in T2 to T4) and waitlist control (change in T1 to T2) by intervention group (eDTU vs. waitlist control; iDTU vs. waitlist control). The hypothesis is that both the eDTU and iDTU groups will show significant improvements in diabetes distress and A1c compared to waitlist control. In order to conserve sample size and budget, participants in each intervention group will serve as their own waitlist control.
Secondary Objective. The secondary aim of the study is to evaluate changes in depressive symptoms, diabetes self-efficacy, and general and diabetes-specific quality of life in intervention (T2-T3 \& T4) compared to waitlist control (T1-T2). An exploratory aim will be to compare changes in eDTU to the iDTU pre/post intervention (T2-T3 \& T4). The hypothesis is that both groups will show comparable improvements in diabetes distress and A1c.

Group Intervention Description Single-arm waitlist control Diabetes Tune-Up Group The initial assessment will take place at the time of study enrollment (T1). Participants will be offered a choice of assignment to either the eDTU (online Diabetes Tune-Up Group intervention participation) or iDTU (in-person Diabetes Tune-Up Group intervention participation) series. After a 3-month waiting period, participants will complete baseline assessment (T2). The group intervention will then take place over the next 6 to 8 weeks. Immediately following completion of the intervention, participants will complete surveys (T3). A final assessment will be completed 3 months after baseline, approximately 4 to 6 weeks following the completion of the intervention (T4). The participant will participate in one series of the DTU intervention either, in person or online, at the participant's choosing. The intervention will take place over the course of 6 to 8 weeks. Participants will wear their continuous glucose monitor throughout the course of the intervention.
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Feasibility of intervention and delivery modality During intervention (6-8 weeks) Feasibility of electronic DTU intervention (eDTU) adapted for online delivery compared to the in-person DTU (iDTU) using participant attendance to intervention sessions; attendance will range from 1 to 6 sessions
Diabetes Distress Scale-17 (DDS-17) To test differences in DDS-17 change scores between intervention (changes in baseline to 3-month follow-up) and waitlist control (change in enrollment to baseline) by intervention group (eDTU vs. waitlist control; iDTU vs. waitlist control). Change in DDS-17 scores over time; scores range from 1 - 6 with higher scores indicating worse diabetes distress
HbA1c (A1c) To test differences in A1c change scores between intervention (changes in baseline to 3-month follow-up) and waitlist control (change in enrollment to baseline) by intervention group (eDTU vs. waitlist control; iDTU vs. waitlist control). Change in A1c values over time
Acceptability of intervention (content and delivery modality) Immediately following intervention Acceptability of electronic DTU intervention (eDTU) adapted for cultural relevance and online delivery compared to waitlist control and the in-person DTU (iDTU) using study-developed satisfaction questionnaire; scores can range from 15 - 75 with higher scores indicating greater participant satisfaction
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) Evaluate changes in depressive symptoms in intervention (baseline to 3-month follow-up) compared to waitlist control (enrollment to baseline). An exploratory aim will be to compare changes in eDTU to the iDTU pre/post intervention (baseline -3mo f/u). Evaluate changes in depressive symptoms in intervention (baseline to 3-month follow-up) compared to waitlist control (enrollment to baseline). An exploratory aim will be to compare changes in eDTU to the iDTU pre/post intervention (baseline \& three-month follow-up); scores range from 0 - 27 with higher scores indicating more severe depression symptoms
Short Form-12 (SF-12) Evaluate changes in general quality of life in intervention (baseline to 3mo f/u) compared to waitlist control (enrollment-baseline). An exploratory aim will be to compare changes in eDTU to the iDTU pre/post intervention (baseline to 3mo f/u). Evaluate changes in general quality of life in intervention (baseline to 3mo f/u) compared to waitlist control (T1-T2). An exploratory aim will be to compare changes in eDTU to the iDTU pre/post intervention (T2-T3 \& T4); Items are divided into 2 subscales, the Physical Component and Mental Component scores, total item and subscale scores are converted to a 100-point scale, with higher scores indicating better functioning.
Diabetes Therapy-Related Quality of Life Questionnaire Evaluate changes in diabetes-specific quality of life in intervention (baseline to 3mo f/u) compared to waitlist control (enrollment-baseline). An exploratory aim will be to compare changes in eDTU to the iDTU pre/post intervention (baseline to 3mo f/u). Evaluate changes in diabetes-specific quality of life in intervention (baseline to 3mo f/u) compared to waitlist control (T1-T2). An exploratory aim will be to compare changes in eDTU to the iDTU pre/post intervention (T2-T3 \& T4); scores range from 17 - 68 with higher scores reflecting greater diabetes-specific quality of life
Confidence in Diabetes Self-Care (CDSC) Evaluate changes in diabetes self-efficacy in intervention (baseline to 3-month follow-up) compared to waitlist control (enrollment to baseline). Evaluate changes in diabetes self-efficacy in intervention (baseline to 3mo f/u) compared to waitlist control (T1-T2). An exploratory aim will be to compare changes in eDTU to the iDTU pre/post intervention (T2-T3 \& T4); scores ranges from 20 - 100 with higher scores indicative of greater patient belief in caring for their diabetes
