About this study

Official title: Developing and Testing Accessible Web-based Support for Patient Self-management of Diabetes

This project will address vital questions regarding how best to design web-based materials for the growing population of patients with basic literacy and computer skills but lower levels of health literacy, building on our previous experience of developing web-based materials for people with lower levels of literacy and health literacy.

This study will be carried out two phases. Phase 1 will use qualitative methods to understand user experiences of the web-based materials through observational 'think-aloud' interviews with users. Phase 2 will test the newly developed web-based materials to a static (non-interactive) version of the materials online.

What is being measured

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

  1. user engagement

    Measured: This will be measured by intervention completion rates

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Patient enablement

    Measured: Participants will be followed up as soon as they finished looking at the website, which is expected to be 20-40 minutes after they start the study.

  2. Website satisfaction

    Measured: Participants will be followed up as soon as they finished looking at the website, which is expected to be 20-40 minutes after they start the study.

  3. Physical activity attitudes and intentions

    Measured: Participants will be followed up as soon as they finished looking at the website, which is expected to be 20-40 minutes after they start the study.

  4. Diabetes and Physical activity knowledge

    Measured: Participants will be followed up as soon as they finished looking at the website, which is expected to be 20-40 minutes after they start the study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Interactive web-based materials and Static web-based materials in people with Type 2 Diabetes, run by University of Southampton.

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 3 Dec 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

user engagement (time frame: This will be measured by intervention completion rates). 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 3 Dec 2015.
