About this study

This single-arm trial of the Diabetes Homeless Medication Support intervention alone (n=15) will test the perception and feasibility of anticipated study procedures.

Read the detailed description

This study is of a set of studies with an overall goal to develop and pilot test a collaborative care intervention using motivational interviewing and behavioral activation alongside education and psychosocial support to improve medication adherence tailored to the experiences of people experiencing homelessness and diabetes (DH). Our team's central hypothesis is that medication adherence and diabetes self-care (and eventual glycemic control, health care use/cost) will improve with an intervention tailored to the unique context of DH.

This protocol addresses a pilot study to test patient perceptions of the feasibility and acceptability of study procedures and refine the D-Homes treatment manual through test cases (n=15). With a hypothesis that the D-Homes manual and study procedures will be feasible and acceptable to DH as measured by self-report and post-treatment interview.

What participants receive

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

  • Diabetes Homeless Medication Support (D-Homes)Behavioural

    There will be 10 sessions offered within 12 weeks to participants. Sessions will last 30-60 minutes. During sessions a diabetes wellness coach will use behavioral activation and motivational interviewing to get to know participants and set goals to improve diabetes care. The coach will encourage a focus on medication adherence behaviors to the extent that participants are willing. The coach will also help with resource and care coordination. The coach will also provide brief diabetes education as needed.

What is being measured

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

  1. Acceptability of Intervention

    Client Satisfaction Questionnaire, 8-item version, with a score range from 8-32, higher score indicating higher satisfaction.

    Measured: at 16 weeks

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Hemoglobin A1c

    Change in point-of-care hemoglobin A1c: This test measures average blood sugar over a three month period, and smaller numbers indicate better glycemic control.

    Measured: Baseline to 16 weeks

  2. Psychological Wellness

    Change in psychological wellness as measured by the Short Form (SF)-12. The SF-12 is a self-reported outcome measure assessing psychological wellness and the impact of health on an individual's everyday life. Scores range from 20 to 60, and higher score indicate a higher level of functioning.

    Measured: Baseline to 16 weeks

  3. Diabetes Medication Adherence

    Change in score on Adherence to Refills and Medications Scales-Diabetes (ARMS-D), Total scores range from 12-48, with higher values indicating worse outcomes.

    Measured: Baseline to 12 weeks
