About this study

The overall goal of this randomized clinical trial (RCT) is to test the efficacy of a culturally- and literacy-tailored cognitive-behavioral intervention designed to enhance adherence to diabetes self-management behaviors and improve glycemic control among low-income Hispanic individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Read the detailed description

Patients are randomly assigned to a Usual Care condition or to the Cognitive Behavioral Intervention condition. The unit of randomization and analysis is the patient. The intervention is implemented by a nutritionist, a nurse diabetes educator and an assistant, and patients are encouraged to bring a family member or friend living in the same household to facilitate home-based support for the intervention. The intervention emphasizes patients' ethnic preferences and traditions (e.g., adapting ethnic recipes to meet dietary goals) and the use of available community resources (e.g., available areas for exercise), and is delivered utilizing strategies and materials appropriate for low-literate/illiterate pts.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Cognitive Behavioral Intervention in people with Type 2 Diabetes and Glycemic Control, run by University of Massachusetts, Worcester at 5 sites 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 10 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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?

The primary outcome is improvement in metabolic control (HbA1c). (time frame: The primary outcome was evaluated at 4- and 12-months following randomization.). 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 NCT00848315, which also lists 2 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?
