About this study

Official title: Expanding the Diabetes Homelessness Medication Support (D-Homes) Program to Spanish Speaking Hispanics

This single-arm trial of the Diabetes Homeless Medication Support intervention for Spanish-speaking people (n=12) will test the perception and feasibility of anticipated study procedures.

Read the detailed description

This study has an overall goal to modify and pilot test a previously developed 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). The intervention was developed in English. This study is intended to test the modified intervention for DH who speak Spanish (DH-SH). The study 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-SH.

This protocol tests patient perceptions of the feasibility and acceptability of study procedures and refines the D-Homes treatment manual through test cases (n=12). The study team hypothesizes that the D-Homes manual and study procedures will be feasible and acceptable to DH-SH 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 Homelessness Medication Support Program in SpanishBehavioural

    Also called DH-Spanish, DHomes - Spanish

    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 resources 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. Change in Glycemic Control

    We will measure glycemic control using hemoglobin A1c. This will be done on a consistent, validated point-of-care machine using blood samples collected via venipuncture. We will compare glycemic control from baseline to 16 weeks.

    Measured: Baseline and 16 weeks

  2. Health-related Quality of Life

    As measured by the 12 Item Short Form Survey (SF-12), a 12-question questionnaire. The SF-12 is analyzed for two summary scores - the physical component score (PCS-12) and the mental component score (MCS-12). The average score of each component is 50 for people in the United States, with a standard deviation of 10 points. Scores above 50 indicate higher than average health-related quality of life while scores below 50 indicate lower than average health-related quality of life.

    Measured: Baseline and 16 weeks

  3. Diabetes Medication Adherence

    As measured by the Adherence to Refills and Medications Scales-Diabetes (ARMS-D), Total scores range from 12-48, with higher values indicating worse outcomes. We will compare ARMS-D scores from baseline to 16 weeks.

    Measured: Baseline and 16 weeks
