About this study
Official title: Diabetes Care for Korean Americans
The purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility and efficacy of a culturally-tailored, comprehensive behavioral intervention program specially designed for linguistically challenged ethnic minority immigrant populations (Korean Americans) with type 2 DM.
Read the detailed description
Korean American immigrants (KAI), one of the most underserved and understudied minority populations in the U.S., suffer from diabetes, which goes under-diagnosed, inadequately treated and has a potential to result in costly and tragic consequences. Language barriers, the lack of self-confidence, and diminished social support that accompany the acculturation process prevent KAI from improving their health-seeking behaviors. Our previous research has indicated that overwhelming numbers of KAI suffer not only from uncontrolled hyperglycemia but also from a loss of self-confidence and social isolation because of language and cultural barriers. They are in urgent need of an intervention to assist them in their efforts to achieve better glycemic control and restore their self-confidence in diabetes and health management so that they are able to adjust successfully in this new environment. Therefore, The purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility and efficacy of a culturally-tailored, comprehensive behavioral intervention program specially designed for linguistically challenged KAIs with type 2 DM.
This pilot project will test the hypothesis: Compared to KAI in the control group, KAI with type 2 DM who receive a comprehensive DM management intervention through structured psycho-behavioral education, home glucose monitoring with a telephone transmission system, and interaction with a bilingual nurse case manager will show: (1) a greater level of glucose control; and (2) a greater level of self-help skills including knowledge related to glucose control, problem-solving skills, heightened confidence and mood/affect, adherence to treatment recommendations, and quality of life. An additional outcome will be to measure and obtain an ideal BP as the proposed intervention focuses on management of multiple risk factors with which many KA DM patients often struggle.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 1 study testing Diabetes Care for Korean Americans in people with Diabetes, run by Johns Hopkins University 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 7 inclusion and 3 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 21 Dec 2010. 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.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
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?
HbA1c (time frame: 30 Weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00505960, which also lists 3 linked publications.
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 21 Dec 2010.
