About this study

Official title: Technology Intervention for Diabetes Engagement & Self-Care (TIDES):Comparative Effectiveness Randomized Clinical Trial in Primary Care for Type 2 Diabetes to Improve Engagement, Knowledge, and Self-Care

The purpose of this 3 site, 24-week, Comparative Effectiveness Randomized Clinical Trial in Primary Care is to compare usual care to an online, multi-media, digital intervention for Persons with Type 2 Diabetes to Improve Engagement, Knowledge, and Self-Care.

Read the detailed description

Objective: Technology shows promise to enhance standard care of diabetes with cost-effective, online lifestyle interventions. Compared to Primary Care (PC) Diabetes System of Care (control), the investigators hypothesized Technology Intervention for Diabetes Engagement \& Self-Care (TIDES) would significantly improve diabetes knowledge and self-care.

Methods: Following Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval, physician letters were sent to patients with type 2 diabetes, age >18 years with HgA1c >8% identified via Electronic Health Record (EHR) of an integrated US health system to invite participation in a 3-site, 24-week diabetes study. Of the 270 with >1 week email/web use invited to the shared medical visit (SMV) orientation, 166 subjects provided written informed consent. Diabetes knowledge and self-care assessments, vital signs, HgA1c, fasting glucose and lipids were collected at baseline, 3 and 6 months. Following randomization to TIDES (N=117) or usual care (N=49), TIDES group was oriented to the multimedia online intervention including a dosed sequence of learning via email, video, slide shows, food solutions, expert questions and answers,and quizzes.

What is being measured

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

  1. Diabetes Knowledge

    Change from Baseline Total Score on Diabetes Knowledge Questionnaire(DKQ)at 6 months.The DKQ is the shortened 24-item version of the Diabetes Knowledge Questionnaire was derived from an original 60-item instrument to reduce participant burden.Scores on the 60-item and 24-item versions are well correlated (r=0.85).Collins,G.S.,et al.,Modification and validation of the Revised Diabetes Knowledge Scale. Diabet Med, 2011. 28(3):p.306-10. Fitzgerald,J.T.,et al.,The reliability and validity of a brief diabetes knowledge test.Diabetes Care,1998.21(5):p.706-10.

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Diabetes Self Care

    Change from Baseline on Partners in Health Scale(PIH)at 6 months.PIH is a validated instrument to measure self-management. The 11 items cover capacity and motivation for behavior change scored on a 9-point scale,with zero as best response and 8 worst.Four factors explain ~80% of variance in PIH scores: knowledge,symptom management,coping and adherence.Petkov, J.,P.
