About this study

Official title: Technologically Enhanced Community Health Worker (CHW) Delivery of Personalized Diabetes Information

Two of AHRQ 's consumer-focused guides, "Pills for Type 2 Diabetes" and "Premixed Insulin for Type 2 Diabetes" could be of great use to underserved ethnic and racial minority adults. The presentation of content and delivery mechanisms of these Guides, however, needs to be modified to increase their use and impact among these difficult-to-reach populations.

To achieve this goal, a long-standing collaboration among African American and Latino community organizations, health care centers and systems, public health organizations, and academics (the REACH Detroit Partnership) is joining with leading experts in the development of personally and culturally tailored health decision aids (University of Michigan's Center for Health Communications Research [CHCR] and Center for Behavioral and Decision Sciences in Medicine [CBDSM]).

The investigators will develop and evaluate a computer tailored online diabetes medication decision aid that will enable community health workers (CHWs) to provide personalized patient education materials to underserved diabetic African American and Latino adults in Detroit, Michigan.

Read the detailed description

The Specific Aims of this study are:

Aim 1: To use the information in the two diabetes medications consumer CERSGs to build an interactive, computer tailored diabetes medication guide that will enable patients to assess their treatment goals, personal preferences, and side-effect concerns and generate a personally tailored assessment of their current diabetes treatments with, as appropriate, options for improving their diabetes care;

Aim 2: To determine the extent to which this personally tailored diabetes medication guide compared with the print consumer guides reduces Latino and African American diabetes patients' decisional conflict, through improved knowledge of anti-hyperglycemic medications and satisfaction with information received.

Aim 3: To examine the computer tailored program's effects on participants' changes in medications (medication intensification), self-reported medication adherence and beliefs and A1C levels between baseline and follow-up compared to participants receiving the print consumer guides.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Community Health Worker Diabetes Education: Print mediaBehavioural

    Also called Print Materials Arm

    Providing information to patients about potential benefits, harms, costs, and burdens of medications and discussing patients' treatment preferences.

  • CHW Diabetes Education: tailored web siteBehavioural

    Also called Tailored web based decision aid

    Providing tailored and interactive information to patients about potential benefits, harms, costs, and burdens of medications and discussing patients' treatment preferences.

Study groups in NCT01427660
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Traditional CERSG ArmActive comparatorCHWs will provide and review with patients language-appropriate versions of the AHRQ consumer guides. CHWs will highlight key points on each page, review information on each medication and elicit and address questions. They will use the autonomy enhancing, motivational-interviewing based skills. As with the first arm, CHWs will schedule follow-up clinic appointments for participants who note a specific treatment change they would consider and will call participants two times after the session at three and six weeks to address additional questions and to follow up on any goals the participant set.
Receives: Behavioral: Community Health Worker Diabetes Education: Print media
Web-Based Materials ArmExperimentalParticipants randomized to this arm will be scheduled within 3 weeks of enrollment to have a one-hour face-to-face session with a CHW who will deliver the ipad platform personally tailored diabetes medication decision aid. Participants will receive a printed tailored preference summary at the completion of this visit. If participants note a specific treatment change they would like to discuss with their providers, the CHW will facilitate scheduling a clinic visit within the next month. Finally, CHWs will call participants two times after the session at 3 and 6 weeks to assess if the participant has additional questions and to follow up on any treatment or other goals the participant set during their session.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Changes in decisional conflict

    We will be measuring subjects' perceptions of: a) uncertainty in choosing options; b) modifiable factors contributing to uncertainty such as feeling uninformed, unclear about personal values and unsupported in decision making; and c) effective decision making such as feeling the choice is informed, values-based, likely to be implemented and expressing satisfaction with the choice.

    Measured: baseline and 3 month post intervention

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Medication adherence and intensification

    Self-reported medication adherence will be assessed through three well-validated measures. We will assess changes in anti-hyperglycemic medication dosages and/or numbers of medications by patient report and medical record review.

    Measured: baseline and 3 month post intervention

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Community Health Worker Diabetes Education: Print media and CHW Diabetes Education: tailored web site in people with Diabetes, Type 2, run by University of Michigan at 1 site 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 4 inclusion and 5 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 9 Sep 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site 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?

Changes in decisional conflict (time frame: baseline and 3 month post intervention). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01427660, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 9 Sep 2014.
