Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The study will implement and evaluate, using a pragmatic comparative effectiveness trial, a unique collaborative, stepped-care intervention for patients with uncontrolled Type 2 diabetes and co-morbid distress and/or depression.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The investigators plan to implement and evaluate, using a pragmatic comparative effectiveness trial, a unique collaborative, stepped-care intervention for patients with uncontrolled Type 2 diabetes and co-morbid distress and/or depression. The investigators approach will combine practice-based medical and cognitive behavioral treatment with strong community-based support to immediately place the patient at the right level of intervention based on disease and severity and to step-up treatment intensity and follow-up if the initial response is inadequate. The practice-based component will use a care manager linked to medical, pharmacologic, and behavioral colleagues. The community based component will utilize community health workers to provide support and facilitate access to resources. Goals include: 1) implementing and evaluating the effectiveness of this intervention; 2) examining the impact of this approach on psychological mediators of improved glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c); and 3) building, sustaining, and disseminating a cost-effective care model.
