About this study

Official title: Cues to Action in Diabetes Risk Education (CADRE): Randomized Study Assessing the Impact of Knowledge of Impaired Glucose Tolerance on Perceived Risk and Behavior Change Motivation

Diabetes mellitus (DM) type 2 is well recognized as a major cause of morbidity and mortality in the United States, as well as a significant contributor to health disparities within the population. Changes in demographic and lifestyle characteristics in the population have led to a progressive increase in the prevalence of both diabetes and impaired glucose tolerance (IGT), a precursor to DM type 2. Although pharmacologic interventions have proven to be successful in blocking the progression from IGT to DM, they have not been as effective as diet and exercise modification. Studies of behavioral interventions in IGT have focused on the outcomes of improved DM risk factors and decreased progression to DM, but have either required extensive interventions that lack applicability to the general population or have utilized more modest interventions with no effect on risk factors. These studies have not included impact evaluations to assess the effect of knowledge of IGT status on motivation to change and perceived risk. This study will assess the impact of knowledge of IGT on the likelihood of altering health-related behaviors, utilizing the Health Belief Model as a conceptual framework. Subjects will be randomized to one of four treatment arms, organized in a factorial design to (1) assess the impact of OGTT testing on motivation to change behaviors and (2) evaluate the efficacy of a novel educational intervention linked to patients' learning styles. This evaluation will determine whether OGTT testing is more beneficial as a cue to action to motivate behavior change than a multifactorial assessment of diabetes risk. Additionally, the improvement in health motivation after an educational intervention is expected to be enhanced when the educational method is tailored to the individual's preferred learning style. This information will provide the foundation for more efficient behavioral interventions for patients at high risk for DM type 2.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Oral Glucose Tolerance Testing and Education tailored to learning style preferences in people with Prediabetic State, run by Eastern Virginia Medical School at 2 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Jun 2007. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Scores on perceived risk scale after the intervention. The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 28 Jun 2007.
