Participant Flow

Participants were recruited through churches and organizations in several KY counties in Appalachian Kentucky

59 churches/organizations were randomized once they met the eligibility criteria. One church was never enrolled because it did not meet the eligibility criteria. Two churches/organizations dropped out mainly due to COVID issues.

Unit of analysis: Church/Organization

Measure
Diabetes Self-Management Program (DSMP) Only
Diabetes Self Management Program (DSMP) in a group setting: participants will attend a six week, evidence-based diabetes home self-management program. The goal of this arm of the project is to try to get participants to engage in better diabetes self-care (blood glucose testing, medication taking, diet, exercise, stress reduction, etc.). Participants will complete biometric data and surveys at 3, 6, and 9 months post randomization.
Diabetes Self-Management Program (DSMP)Delayed
Groups randomized to DSMP Delayed will receive 6 weeks of DSMP classes after the 3 month post-test interview. Participants will complete biometric data and surveys at 3, 6, and 9 months post randomization.
Tailored Patient Navigation (PN) Only
assisting patients in navigation to physician offices, allowing for standard of care to follow. trained Community Health Workers (CHW) will meet one-on-one with participants to assess the barriers experienced in adhering to medical appointments and will implement a navigation program accordingly. The goal of this arm of the project is to try to get participants to attend recommended medical appointments. PN has been shown to improve health behavior and increase self-efficacy, all with low costs.
DSMP AND Tailored Patient Navigation
Both group education classes and patient navigation DSMP AND Tailored Patient Navigation : patient navigation followed by 6 weeks of DSMP classes after the 3 month post-test interview.

The RAND SF-36 physical component summary (PCS) score is a domain summary score that is part of the 36-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36). Scores range from 0 - 100. Higher scores indicate better health or function. The PCS score is calculated by adding up standardized, weighted scores based on eight domains of health, including physical functioning and pain: Limitations in physical activities due to health problems, Bodily pain, and Vitality (energy and fatigue). Specific scoring details are provided in Taft et al. (2001).
