About this study

This study will systematically evaluate a training program in state-of-the-art behavioral change approaches and facilitation skills for peer leaders and a peer-led diabetes self-management support program designed to be conducted in community and clinic-based settings on an ongoing basis.

Read the detailed description

In phase one we will develop and evaluate a theoretically-driven program to train peer leaders to facilitate longer-term empowerment-based interventions that, when led by health care professionals, have been associated with improved diabetes-related health and psychosocial outcomes.1-8 In phase two we will examine the impact of a sustained peer-led, empowerment-based self-management intervention on improving and maintaining diabetes-related health outcomes. We propose to develop and test the training and program simultaneously in two distinct cultural and linguistic communities with which the team already has strong working relationships and a track record of prior work: African-American (AA) adults in a community-based setting (Ypsilanti, Michigan) and Latino adults (Spanish- and English-speaking) in a clinic-based setting (Southwest Detroit). This will allow us to compare and contrast the translations of the training and program in these two different contexts and to better refine and understand effective methods and develop culturally tailored training and program materials in both English and Spanish.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Peer-Led Self-ManagementBehavioural

    Also called Peer Leadership, Peer Support

    The PLSM intervention is designed to improve and sustain participants' self-management and health-related gains associated with type 2 diabetes. The role of peer leaders is to provide support for (1) ongoing self-management efforts (including the 5-step "action-planning" process), (2) psychosocial and emotional adjustment, and (3) linkage to needed health care resources.

    PLSM intervention will consist of three main components provided by the Peer Leaders: weekly self-management support sessions; outreach telephone contacts and inbound telephone call from participants.

Intervention: Peer Led Self-ManagementExperimentalIntervention: Peer Led Self-Management (PLSM) involves the DSME program followed by 12 months of peer-led ongoing self-management support
Receives: Behavioral: Peer-Led Self-Management
Diabetes Self-Management EducationNo interventionControl: Diabetes Self-Management Education (DSME) involves 12 sessions of self-management training including diabetes education, one-on-one sessions, bi-weekly phone contacts, and preparation for a clinic visit.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Changes in clinical, self-care and diabetes-related quality of life from baseline

    Clinical, self-care and diabetes-related quality of life improvements including the following measures: A1c, Summary of Diabetes Self-Care Activities Measure, Diabetes Distress Scale (DDS)

    Measured: Measured at completion of 12 session DSME program, DSME program completion occurs between 3 and 6 months following enrollment; 6 months post-completion; 12 months post-completion

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Changes in clinical, self-care and diabetes-related quality of life from baseline

    Clinical, self-care and diabetes-related quality of life improvements including the following measures: lipid levels, blood pressure reading, height and weight, BMI, and satisfaction with care.

    Measured: Measured at completion of 12 session DSME program, DSME program completion occurs between 3 and 6 months following enrollment; 6 months post-completion; 12 months post completion

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Peer-Led Self-Management in people with Diabetes, run by University of Michigan 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 3 inclusion and 4 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 9 Sep 2014. 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?

Changes in clinical, self-care and diabetes-related quality of life from baseline (time frame: Measured at completion of 12 session DSME program, DSME program completion occurs between 3 and 6 months following enrollment; 6 months post-completion; 12 months post-completion). 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 9 Sep 2014.
