Improving Medication Adherence in the Alabama Black Belt
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Living Well with Diabetes Program for Diabetes Mellitus and Medication Adherence. Completed, enrolled 473 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Medication adherence is especially critical in regions like rural Alabama, where residents have among the worst health outcomes in the US. This project was designed in collaboration with our community member partners and builds on a 5-year partnership of community-engaged research on diabetes peer coaching interventions and our experience with peer storytelling. The investigators will test the hypothesis that an intervention designed within the Corbin and Strauss framework can improve adherence and health outcomes compared to usual care.
