Brief Summary

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

The Michigan Men's Diabetes Project III: Mind \& Motion is an 7-month pilot randomized clinical trial. The investigators are looking to recruit 80 Black men with type 2 diabetes (T2D) (need to have diagnosis for at least one year) that are over the age of 18. Participants also must be under the care of a physician for their diabetes, self report an Hemoglobin A1c (A1C) of 7.0% or more in the last year, be willing to participate in study events (weekly physical activity, exercise and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) sessions, group discussion sessions, and in-person health assessments), have reliable internet access (steady internet connection or unlimited data) that will allow them to use a tablet/phone/computer to complete study related tasks, live in the Wayne or Washtenaw County, and have reliable transportation to in-person events. All participants will receive 8 hours/sessions of cognitive behavioral therapy. Participants randomized to the intervention arm will also receive 8 sessions of guided exercise at the same time. Following that they will also receive 8 group discussion sessions that will serve as on-going support. All sessions will be help via Zoom. Additionally, all participants will participate in The 4 health assessments will take place at baseline, 10 weeks, 18 weeks, and 30 weeks.

Study Groups

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

Intervention Group

Participants randomized to the intervention group will receive 8 one hour virtual sessions of individual cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) that will take place via U-M Zoom, which is a HIPAA compliant virtual conferencing platform.

Participants in this group will also receive 8 one hour virtual sessions of individual exercise.

Participants in this group will also receive 8 one hour virtual group discussion sessions that will serve as on-going support. This group (4-8 participants) discussion will be facilitated by one CBT Interventionist and one Exercise Interventionist. These sessions will take place following the individual sessions of CBT and Exercise.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on the unique needs of men. A culturally adapted CBT program will be administered to participants as it has demonstrated increased effectiveness for marginalized populations. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) aligns well with these cultural needs due to its individualized approach, non-judgmental stance, collaborative nature, and emphasis on empowerment through skills building.

Exercise

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Research demonstrates a preference for physical activity interventions among men with chronic illnesses, while highlighting limited access to fitness facilities in low-income urban areas as a barrier to participation. Online physical activity interventions have shown efficacy and cost-effectiveness in improving health behaviors, with virtual exercise programs for low-income African American populations demonstrating significant reductions in depressive symptoms. Therefore participants will receive exercise to help improve their diabetes self-management behaviors and depressive symptoms.

Group Discussions - Ongoing Support

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Participants will join group discussions that will serve as on-going support. The small group component is designed to foster self-efficacy, autonomous motivation, and enjoyment by integrating skills building, personal values, spirituality, and goal setting. This approach has shown positive outcomes in previous pilot studies with African American men, serving as a source of vicarious learning and social support.

Control Group

Participants randomized to the control group will receive enhanced usual care (EUC). The EUC group will receive 8 sessions of standard Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.

As part of the screening process, the investigators will ask the participant to self-report on these conditions. Participants who are currently receiving psychotherapy services for the treatment of depression from a mental health provider will be excluded. Participants who are currently receiving only medication management from a psychiatrist will be included.
