Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
* How do patients view their risk of developing type 2 diabetes based on their demographics and behaviors?
* Does giving patient education increase patient knowledge, leading to healthier behaviors?
Researchers will assess if the educational intervention increases diabetes knowledge and positive health behaviors among Emergency Department hyperglycemic patients.
Participants will:
* Receive the educational packet (intervention) alongside standard Emergency Care.
* Take pre-survey at time of Emergency Department visit and post- survey two weeks later.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
We will recruit 400 English speaking adults who present to the ED with a blood glucose of ≥200 mg/dL. All participants will receive educational materials on diabetes, as well as resources to local primary-care follow up and medication assistance programs. Participants will complete pre- and post-surveys to quantify changes in self-perceived susceptibility, severity, barriers to managing T2DM, and behavioral changes, which include presence of PCP follow-up, establishing a new PCP, and utilizing medication assistance programs.
Quantitative pre- and post-survey responses will be analyzed via regression models and paired t-tests to evaluate for statistically significant changes in perceived susceptibility, severity, benefits, and barriers to T2DM self-management among participants before and after receiving the educational intervention.The expected findings of this research study are increases in patient diabetes knowledge and self-perception of susceptibility and severity, leading to higher rates of PCP follow-up among participants following dissemination of educational materials grounded in the HBM framework. These research outcomes can be utilized to inform future interventions that target further barriers or reduce ED recidivism for hyperglycemic patients in the ED.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Intervention Arm
Participants in the intervention arm will receive Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus educational materials that includes information regarding Type 2 Diabetes symptoms, risk factors, and resources for further follow-up care alongside standard Emergency Medicine care, which includes discharge instructions provided by ED practitioners along with verbal explanations from their assigned ED nurse.
Educational Intervention
Utilizing the Health Belief model, educational materials detailing diabetes risk factors to address perceived susceptibility, diabetes severity and complications to address perceived severity, and PCP follow-up information and medication assistance programs to address perceived barriers will be provided.
