About this study

We propose a diabetes self-management program evaluation and dissemination project with three components.

  1. A six-month randomized trial to evaluate the effect of a community-based small group Diabetes Self Management Program (DSMP) on the health related quality of life, metabolic control and health care utilization of people with type 2 diabetes.
  2. A long-term (12 month) longitudinal evaluation of the same program.
  3. Two 5 day workshops to train others in California in how to lead and administer the program.
Read the detailed description
  1. Implement and evaluate in a 6-month randomized controlled evaluation an experimental self-management program for patients with type 2 diabetes. Outcomes for evaluating the intervention's impact include health status (health-related quality-of-life and metabolic control) and health care utilization. Mediating outcomes are health behaviors and self-efficacy.
  2. Evaluate the same program in a one year longitudinal study using the same outcomes.
  3. Disseminate the program to others in California by holding two five day workshops during which we will prepare the participants to both offer the program and to train others in their organization to offer the program.

This proposed evaluation will examine the following questions:

Hypothesis 1. People participating in the Diabetes Self-Management Program (SDSMP), when compared six months after baseline to randomized wait-list controls receiving usual care, will demonstrate:

  1. Improvements in health-related quality of life (fatigue, physical discomfort, the symptoms of hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia, activity limitations, health distress, and self-rated health). Improvements in metabolic measures of health status (body mass index, hemoglobin A1c, total cholesterol/HDL ratio and blood pressure).
  2. Changes in utilization of health services, specifically, increases in outpatient visits to physicians and nurses, increases in the percentage of subjects having received an eye examination in the past year, increases in the number of times a health professional has examined subject's feet, and decreases in emergency room visits, hospitalizations, and hospital days.
  3. Improvements in beneficial self-management behaviors (aerobic exercise, communication with physicians, diet, self-monitoring of blood glucose and self-examination of the feet).
  4. Increases in perceived self-efficacy to manage diabetes.

Hypothesis 2. The changes in health related quality of life, metabolic status, health behaviors and health care utilization will be maintained for one year.

Hypothesis 3. Twelve to fifteen health care organizations in California will be interested in disseminating the program. This will be demonstrated by their willingness to send 2-3 persons each to a 5 day training which will allow their organization to replicate and perpetuate the program.

Hypothesis 4. 8-10 health care organizations in California will have offered at least two Diabetes Self-Management Programs to people with Type 2 diabetes one year following the above dissemination training. (It should be noted that this hypothesis can not be tested during the funded portion of the program. However, it our intent to contact all organizations participating in dissemination training one year following the training to determine what they have done with the program). The results of this follow-up will be reported to The Foundation.)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Diabetes Self Management Program in people with Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2, run by Stanford 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 6 inclusion and 9 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 26 May 2008. 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 A1. The study lists 5 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT00684086, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 26 May 2008.
