Measure
Wait-listed Control Group
Participants in the Wait-listed Control Group will receive augmented access and communication with a primary care provider. The augmentation would consist of providing the participant with a letter to be shared with their primary care doctor indicating their Hb A1c level and depression score at the time of eligibility screening. The research team will also attach a list of local mental health service providers to the letter. The participants randomized to the wait-listed control group will also be offered access to the intervention after the trial is completed in the event that the randomized controlled trial (RCT) has significant results.
Empowerment and CBT Classes
Participants will attend weekly 2-hour group Empowerment and CBT classes for 12 weeks led by two trained health educators. Participants will learn cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) techniques to manage their mood. Then participants will learn a diabetes education format grounded in empowerment theory that employs group problem solving, individualized goal setting, and personal behavioral change "experiments" designed to help patients set priorities and to become better self-managers of both diabetes and their mood. Group members will be advised to monitor their blood sugar levels, blood pressure, and mood on a daily basis. Empowerment and CBT Classes: Participants will receive a manual with 3 CBT modules and 1 Diabetes Empowerment module. CBT Module 1 covers "Understanding Depression and Diabetes", Module 2 "How Thoughts Affect Your Mood and Diabetes Care", Module 3 "How Activities Affect Your Mood and Diabetes Care".

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and 6 months

The Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) measures depression in older adults. The short form we used consists of 15 yes or no questions. The scale range is 0 to 15, where higher scores indicate greater severity of depression. The Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) measures depression in patients. The questionnaire consists of 9 questions where patients self report how frequently they have depression symptoms over the past two weeks. The scale ranges is 0 to 27 where higher scores indicate greater severity of depression.

The EQ-5D measures general quality of life. The index score is based on 5 questions about mobility, self-care, pain, usual activities, and psychological status. The EuroQol Group provides a U.S. preference-weighted algorithm to calculate the index scores. A score of 1 indicates no problems while a score of -0.11 indicates severe problems. The scale score is based on a visual analog of a thermostat, where 0 represents worst imaginable health and 100 represents best imaginable health. Patients mark a tick for where they feel their health is on that scale.

The Yale Physical Activity Scale measures physical function and activities of daily living. Five activity indices (vigorous activity, leisurely walking, moving, standing and sitting) are calculated by multiplying the frequency of activity with the duration and a weighted factor. The 5 indices are then summed to create an index summary. Higher scores indicate more activity. The minimum and maximum scores are 0 and 142.

The Diabetes Empowerment Scale Short Form (DES-SF) measures diabetes-related psychosocial self-efficacy. The questionnaire presents 8 statements on self-efficacy where participants rate how strongly they agree. The answers are summed to create a score where higher scores indicate more empowerment. The score range is 0 to 8.
