Brief Summary

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

A family dyad-focused diabetes self-management for African American adults with type 2 diabetes is a randomized controlled trial (RCT) that aims to test the feasibility, acceptability, and efficacy of a family-dyad focused intervention on glycemic control (hemoglobin A1c) and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in African American adults with type 2 diabetes (T2D).

Detailed Description

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

Eligible participants and their family members will be randomly assigned to either the intervention and control group. Patient-family-member dyads in the intervention arm will virtually receive 1) 10 session over 12 weeks of family dyad-focused, group sessions on diabetes self-management and family support; 2) family dyad-focused support component in each group session; and 3) individual family feedback telephone sessions. All participants will be assessed at baseline, post-intervention and six months after intervention.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

This two-arm randomized controlled trial (RCT) will test the feasibility, acceptability and efficacy of a family-dyad-focused intervention. A convenience sample will be recruited at clinics/pharmacy at Central Ohio. We will enroll a total of 208 participants in the study with104 African-Americans with T2D and one family member of each patient (104 patient-family member dyads). Patients with T2D will be randomized 1:1 to the intervention or control arm (n=52/arm). The family member of each patient will receive the same treatment as that assigned to the patient.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Intervention

Patient-family member dyads in the family dyad intervention arm will receive 1) 10 sessions (8 weekly and 2 biweekly) over 12 weeks of family-dyad-focused, virtual group sessions on diabetes self-management and family support; 2) family dyad-focused support component in each group session; and 3) individual family feedback telephone sessions.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Family dyad diabetes intervention

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The goals of the intervention are to encourage participants to (1) daily self-manage diabetes and stress; (2) establish a healthy eating pattern; (3) engage in brisk walking of 150 or more minutes a week; and (4) use solution-focused problem-solving strategy and supportive family communication skills.

Control

All control participants will receive usual care from their primary healthcare provider. A condensed family dyad diabetes intervention will be delivered to the control participants by the end of the study.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION
