About this study

Official title: A Randomized Controlled Trial of Diabetes Disease Management Over the Internet

This grant supports a 12-month randomized controlled trial comparing usual care versus collaborative disease management over the Internet among disadvantaged African-Americans with Type 2 diabetes. The project aims to: (1) determine the effect of case-managed, Web-based diabetes care on glycemic control, health care utilization, self-efficacy, and patient satisfaction; and (2) qualitatively identify enablers of the successful use of computers, the Internet, and e-Health applications by disadvantaged patients.

Read the detailed description

We propose to conduct a 12-month randomized controlled trial comparing usual care versus chronic disease management over the Internet among disadvantaged African-Americans with type 2 diabetes. Subjects will be recruited from patients receiving primary care at Harborview Medical Center, the County facility administered by the University of Washington in Seattle. As part of a pretest-posttest experimental design, 30 intervention subjects will be trained to use an existing diabetes disease-management module comprising six Web sites that are accessed from home via links displayed within the University's "MyUW" Internet portal. These sites allow patients to:

  1. View their entire electronic medical record, the same record used by providers,
  2. Upload blood glucose readings stored in a digital meter,
  3. Enter medication, nutrition, and exercise information into an online daily diary,
  4. Communicate with providers regarding treatment recommendations or other questions using clinical e-mail,
  5. Obtain additional information from a traditional patient education site with endorsed content, and
  6. Employ a second education site to collaboratively generate action plans intended to enhance self-efficacy.

All data can be viewed by patients and providers in online trended displays that a clinical pharmacist will use to review cases no less often than weekly. As an attention control, 30 subjects will also be trained to use a provided personal computer to access Internet knowledge resources, but will not have access to the case-management services and module being evaluated. By comparing the two groups, we aim to:

  1. Determine the effect of case-managed, Web-based diabetes care on glycemic control, healthcare utilization, self-efficacy, and patient satisfaction, and
  2. Use semi-structured interviews among a subsample of both trial arms to qualitatively identify enablers of the successful use of computers, the Internet, and e-health applications by disadvantaged patients.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Internet co-management module in people with Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2, run by Robert Wood Johnson Foundation at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Aug 2007. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Hemoglobin A1c. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 1 Aug 2007.
