About this study

Official title: A Pilot Randomized Clinical Trial (RCT) to Examine the Benefits of a Culturally Adapted Peer Support and Self-Management Intervention to Improve Glycemic Control in African Americans

The purpose of the study is to gather input about the value of adding a newly developed diabetes self-management program to an existing diabetes self-management program. Participants will self-identify as African-American/Black with type 2 diabetes, and prescribed a diabetes medication. Participants can expect to be in the study for 6 months.

Read the detailed description

Both programs utilized in this study focus on topics such as diet, exercise, and stress. Both programs offer ideas to manage diabetes symptoms, discuss appropriate exercises, provide guidance on healthy eating, review the use of medicine, and offer tips on communicating with healthcare providers and voicing concerns to family members.

The new program is culturally-tailored for African Americans and focuses on helping patients take their medicines as prescribed.

The purpose of this research study is to evaluate this newly developed combined diabetes self-management program.

What participants receive

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

  • Peers LEADBehavioural

    Two group session focusing on beliefs about medicines and diabetes, discrimination/mistrust, and communication with providers, and 2 peer-based phone calls from Ambassadors to occur weekly for weeks 3-8, then bi-weekly for weeks 9-12.

  • HLWDBehavioural

    Weekly group sessions for two months. Sessions will last up to 2.5 hours and focus on a different diabetes self-management topic.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in blood glucose (hemoglobin A1C)

    The hypothesis is that there will be a more significant change in mean A1C, which is clinically meaningful, for participants in Peers EXCEL as compared to those in HLWD.

    Measured: Baseline, 2 months, 6 months

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Medication adherence

    The hypothesis is that there will be higher medication adherence for participants in Peers EXCEL as compared to those in HLWD. Self-reported medication adherence is measured using the 3-item Extent of Nonadherence domain in the Domains of Subjective Extent of Nonadherence (DOSE-Nonadherence) survey. This measure screens for nonadherence and is calculated by computing the mean of the 3 items (range of score is 1-5). Mean scores of 3 (i.e., scoring "1" on each of the 3 items) will be classified as nonadherent, while all mean scores >3 will be classified as adherent.

    Measured: Baseline, 2 months, 6 months

  2. Feasibility of intervention

    Participants will complete validated surveys to assess diabetes-health beliefs, patient self-efficacy/activation, and patient-provider communication quality.

    Measured: Baseline, 2 months, 6 months

  3. Acceptability of intervention

    Interviews and focus groups will be conducted with participants, ambassadors and HLWD leaders respectively to get feedback on their intervention experiences.

    Measured: Baseline, 2 months, 6 months

  4. Adherence to Refills and Medicines Scale for Diabetes (ARMS-D) Score

    The ARMS-D has a total possible range of scores from 11-44, with higher scores indicating increased problems with medication adherence.

    Measured: Baseline, 2 months, 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Peers LEAD and HLWD in people with Type 2 Diabetes, run by University of Wisconsin, Madison 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 9 inclusion and 3 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 18 Nov 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 in blood glucose (hemoglobin A1C) (time frame: Baseline, 2 months, 6 months). 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 18 Nov 2023.
