About this study

Official title: Evaluating Patient Engagement and Other Outcomes for Ethnically Diverse Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Participating in a Structured, Physician Supported, Patient-centered Diabetes Education Program

The proposed study has been developed to evaluate patient, physician, and provider (educator) centered barriers to and facilitators for engaging in the Diabetes Self Management Education and Support (DSMES) and developing a patient-centered, physician supported DSMES program that could potentially address barriers shared by the patients and their healthcare professionals (Phase 1). The feasibility and efficacy of the newly developed program will be evaluated with an ethnically diverse cohort of 90 patients with type 2 diabetes (30 Caucasians, Asians, and Hispanics each) (Phase 2). A variety of outcomes including clinical, behavioral and psycho-social measures will be used to assess program acceptability and effectiveness.

Read the detailed description

Diabetes is a chronic and a progressive metabolic disorder which necessitates active patient involvement to effectively manage nutrition, physical activity, and medication for optimal outcomes. Self-management is a critical aspect of diabetes care and a variety of studies have established the need for people with diabetes to be knowledgeable about their condition and be actively involved in its management to effectively reduce the risk of future health complications and improve other outcomes. Diabetes self-management education and support (DSMES) can help patients effectively engage in and perform their diabetes-related self-care activities. However, only a small number of patients with diabetes participate in DSMES. A few studies in this area have highlighted both physician and patient-related factors that could affect the receipt of DSMES. Patients' involvement in a DSMES program continues to be largely prompted by a physician referral and it has been suggested that improving physician involvement in the DSMES process could enhance overall patient engagement and adherence to such programs.

As part of the proposed mixed methods study, in Phase 1, in-depth surveys (or interviews) will be undertaken with: (a) physicians caring for people with type 2 diabetes, (b) DSMES providers (e.g., certified diabetes educators, diabetes nurses, dietitians), and (b) patients with type 2 diabetes regarding their perception of diabetes education programs, barriers, and facilitators to engagement. Findings from Phase 1 will be shared with the education team at a diabetes center in a community hospital in Orange County, California to inform changes to their currently existing diabetes education curriculum to make it more patient-centered and improve physician engagement and support. As part of Phase 2, the newly developed program will be implemented with a diverse cohort of 90 patients with type 2 diabetes. Patient participation (attendance) in the DSMES process will be documented as a primary marker of patient engagement while their clinical and psycho-social outcomes will serve as secondary indicators. Among other outcomes, physician, educator, and patient satisfaction with the newly developed referral process will also be assessed as a measure of intervention acceptability and success.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing DSMES in people with Type2 Diabetes, run by Hoag Memorial Hospital Presbyterian 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 2 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 Jan 2020. 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?

Program completion (time frame: Approximately at 4 months from the start of the study.). 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 14 Jan 2020; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 30 Oct 2026.
