About this study

Official title: Strong Men, Strong Communities: Cultural Tradition to Improve Native Men's Health

SMSC will inform the design and implementation of culturally informed, community-based lifestyle interventions for diabetes prevention in AI men in our partner communities and elsewhere, as well as in men of other minority groups who experience a heavy burden of diabetes.

Read the detailed description

American Indian (AI) males experience profound health disparities compared to their counterparts in all other U.S. racial and ethnic groups. AI men have the highest age-adjusted prevalence of type 2 diabetes (~18%) among U.S. men, while non-Hispanic White men have the lowest (~7%). In recent decades, AIs have seen a disproportionate increase in diabetes-related complications and mortality compared to all other groups, such that age-adjusted diabetes death rates in AI men are now almost twice those in White men.

Several large randomized, con trolled trials in non-AIs confirm that type 2 diabetes can be prevented or delayed by interventions that promote healthy lifestyles, but little empirical data exist on interventions to prevent diabetes in AI men. In the clinic-based U.S. Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP), only 55 out of 3,234 participants were AI men. Similarly, in the diabetes prevention programs in Native communities, participation by AI males is low, ranging from 33% to 74%. Many explanations have been posited for the low participation rates among men of all races in lifestyle interventions. Recruiting AI men in clinic-based programs is difficult because they tend to seek clinical care less often than women. AI men's perceptions of normative health behaviors and gender roles may also discourage participation, particularly in mixed-gender groups. Therefore, an urgent need exists for diabetes risk reduction programs tailored to the unique values and habits of AI men, with a particular focus on recruitment and retention

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Diabetes Prevention Program in people with Diabetes, run by Washington State 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 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 14 Aug 2023. 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?

Change from baseline weight (time frame: 6 months). 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 NCT02953977, 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?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 14 Aug 2023.
