Evaluation of mHealth Intervention to Improve Medication Adherence in Type 2 Diabetes in Nigeria: a Randomized Controlled Trial
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating mobile phone-based health information for Diabetes Mellitus. Completed, enrolled 120 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The study assessed patients' glycemic control, knowledge of type 2 diabetes (T2D) and adherence to medications, and evaluated the impact of a mobile telephone-based intervention on these indices. Patients' clinic attendance and pharmacy refill records were reviewed for the period of 1 year. Then over a period of 1 month, newly diagnosed T2D patients were enrolled in the prospective phase of the study and randomized into control and intervention groups. A mobile phone-based health education and follow-up package was applied to the intervention group alone for a period of 6 months. Afterwards, both groups were assessed and compared on the study outcome parameters. Same questionnaires were used pre- and post-intervention for primary data collection. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used for data analysis.
