Acceptance Based Coping (ABaCo) Skills Delivered By Promotores for Hispanic/Latino Patients With Type 2 Diabetes
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Acceptance Based Coping (ABaCo) for Type 2 Diabetes. Completed, enrolled 18 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The goal of this pilot clinical trial is to learn about the feasibility and acceptability of promotores (community health workers) delivering an educational intervention for Hispanic/Latino patients with type 2 diabetes. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. What is the impact of the ABaCo program on participants' blood sugar management and quality of life? 2. How well are we able to enroll participants and keep them in the ABaCo program? 3. Is this telephone-based, educational ABaCo program acceptable? Participants will be asked to: * Participate in four research visits: provide fingerstick blood samples before and after the program (at 6 months), and complete questionnaires at four times times during the program (before, twice during, and at 6 months). * Participate in the ABaCo program: join seven (7) individual phone call visits with promotores to review educational information about caring for diabetes while keeping connected to life values. Each phone call lasts approximately 45 minutes once per week for six (6) weeks, then a refresher visit is a month later.

Interventions
The educational ABaCo protocol consists of core Acceptance \& Commitment Therapy (ACT) interventions, culturally and contextually-tailored for this population, and in accordance with clinician-led versions of ACT for diabetes to include (a) identification of patient values, (b) teaching acceptance and brief mindfulness skills, and (c) techniques for engaging in valued activities while coping with difficult experiences (e.g., sugar cravings, distress). It is delivered by a community health worker (promotor/a) over 6 consecutive weeks over the phone, followed by a booster call at week 10.
