Telephone Delivered Behavioral Skills Intervention for Blacks With T2DM
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Diabetes Knowledge/Information, Motivation/Behavioral Skills, and 2 other interventions for Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2 and 4 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 256 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Blacks or African Americans have greater risk of and are more likely to die from type 2 diabetes (T2DM). Major barriers to effective diabetes care for Blacks include poor diabetes knowledge, self-management skills, empowerment, and perceived control. Few prior studies have tested interventions to address these barriers in combination, especially among Blacks who have the greatest burden of diabetes related complications. This study provides a unique opportunity to address this gap in the literature by testing the efficacy of separate and combined telephone-delivered, diabetes knowledge and motivation/behavioral skills training intervention in high risk Blacks with poorly controlled T2DM. The findings of this study, if successful, will provide new information on how to improve quality of care for diabetes in ethnic minorities and reduce the disproportionate burden of diabetes complications and deaths in this population.
