Brief Summary

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

This study will test the preliminary efficacy of a joint patient/informal caregiver telephone-delivered intervention that includes diabetes education; problem solving around social needs; and behavioral activation for older African Americans with poorly controlled type 2 diabetes by randomizing 100 patient/caregiver dyads to the Joint Home intervention (n=50) and usual care (n=50) arms.

The aims of the study are:

Aim 1: To test the preliminary efficacy of home-based, joint patient and caregiver intervention (Joint Home-DM-BAT) on patient clinical outcomes (hemoglobin A1c, blood pressure, and LDL-Cholesterol).

Aim 2: To test the preliminary efficacy of home-based, joint patient and caregiver intervention (Joint Home-DM-BAT) Joint Home DM-BAT on patient quality of life.

Aim 3: To test the preliminary efficacy of home-based, joint patient and caregiver intervention (Joint Home-DM-BAT) on caregiver quality of life and caregiver burden.

Study Groups

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

Joint Home-DM-BAT Intervention

A trained health educator will deliver the manualized Joint Home-DM-BAT intervention. Participants will receive 8-weekly sessions of diabetes education, problem solving around social needs, and behavioral activation via telephone; and 3 monthly booster sessions.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Joint Home-DM-BAT Intervention

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

8 weekly sessions of telephone-delivered, manualized education on diabetes management, problem solving of social needs, and behavioral activation.

Usual Care

Patients randomized to the usual care arm will receive weekly mailings of diabetes education modules for 8 weeks and monthly mailings for 3 months to match the weekly and monthly booster sessions.
