NCT01410357

Brief Summary

This project tests a model for improving illness self-management among persons who have both serious mental illness and diabetes and will be performed within a primary care setting at a safety net hospital system. The information gained from the randomized trial will be supplemented with reports from participants about their experiences of trying to improve illness self-management. Improvements in self-management should result in a reduction of psychiatric symptoms and improvements in functioning and physical health.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (10)

  • Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (BPRS) at 60 Weeks

    The BPRS measures psychotic and non-psychotic symptoms in serious mental illness. Possible total scores range from 7 to 126, with higher scores indicating greater symptom severity. For this study, the BPRS with 18 items was used. Each symptom measured ranges from 1-7, and all 18 items/symptoms are summed to create the total score. Only the BPRS total score was utilized in the analyses.

    60 weeks

  • Montgomery Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) at 60 Weeks

    The MADRS is a 10-item depression severity scale widely utilized in studies with patients with serious mental illness. Possible scores range from 0 to 60 with higher scores indicating worse depression.

    60 weeks

  • Clinical Global Impression (CGI) at 60 Weeks

    The Clinical Global Impression (CGI) is a broad measure of global psychopathology that evaluates illness severity on a 1 to 7 point continuum. Possible scores range from 0 to 7, with higher scores indicating greater psychopathology.

    60 weeks

  • Global Assessment of Functioning (GAF) at 60 Weeks

    The GAF is a 100-point single-item scale that measures global functioning. Possible scores range from 1 to 100, with higher scores indicating better functioning.

    60 weeks

  • Sheehan Disability Scale (SDS) at 60 Weeks

    The SDS measures role impairment in three domains (work/school; family life/home; social life). Possible total scores range from 0 to 30, with higher scores indicating greater disability. Only the total score was reported in our analyses, and is denoted here. The total score is calculated by summing the three domain scores, each which range from 0-10.

    60 weeks

  • SF-36 (Short-form) Health Survey at 60 Weeks; Mental Health Component

    The Short Form 36 Health Survey (SF-36) is a self-report of general health divided into a physical component summary (PCS) and mental component summary (MCS). Norm-based scores are placed on the same metric with a mean of 50 and standard deviation of 10. Scores above 50 reflect higher functional status than the average population and scores below 50 reflect lower than average function.

    60 weeks

  • Glycosylated Hemoglobin (HbA1c) at 60 Weeks

    60 weeks

  • Systolic Blood Pressure at 60 Weeks

    60 weeks

  • Body Mass Index (BMI) at 60 Weeks

    60 weeks

  • SF-36 Health Survey at 60 Weeks; Physical Health Component

    The Short Form 36 Health Survey (SF-36) is a self-report of general health divided into a physical component summary (PCS) and mental component summary (MCS). Norm-based scores are placed on the same metric with a mean of 50 and standard deviation of 10. Scores above 50 reflect higher functional status than the average population and scores below 50 reflect lower than average function.

    60 weeks

Secondary Outcomes (8)

  • Tablets Routine Questionnaire (TRQ) at 60 Weeks

    60 weeks

  • Self-rated Diabetes Self-Care Activities (SDSCA) Questionnaire at 60 Weeks

    60 weeks

  • Comparison of AUDIT (Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test) Score Between TTIM and TAU (Treatment as Usual) at 60 Weeks

Other Outcomes (7)

  • Comparison of Utilization (Phys Ed) Score Between TTIM and TAU at 60 Weeks

    60 weeks

  • Comparison of Utilization (Mental Ed) Score Between TTIM and TAU at 60 Weeks

    60 weeks

Study Arms (2)

Targeted Training in Illness Management (TTIM)

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants in this arm will receive the TTIM intervention as well as receiving regular treatment for their DM and SMI from their normal medical and mental health care providers.

Behavioral: Targeted Training in Illness Management (TTIM)

Treatment As Usual (TAU)

NO INTERVENTION

Participants in this arm will continue to receive Treatment as Usual from their usual medical and mental health care providers. They will not receive any intervention.

Interventions

This intervention blends psychoeducation, problem identification/goal-setting, behavioral modeling and reinforcement via use of Peer Educators, and health care linkage, has been adapted to the primary care setting and targeted for SMI-DM participants. Generalizability is enhanced with relatively brief in-person participation requirements and by utilizing professional staff typically found in primary care. TTIM will stress information sharing that is accessible to participants, and through a collaborative process, foster motivation for SMI-DM self-management.

Data Sharing

IPD Sharing
Will share

The investigators will make deidentified data available to other qualified investigators in the research community. Data will remain under control of the PIs of the research study at CWRU. Copies of electronic data files accompanied by data documentation (metadata) will be shared. Qualified investigators may contact the PIs for information on how to request data. Investigators will be required (at minimum) to provide 1) the names and qualifications of all individuals who will have any access to primary data files; 2) a research proposal detailing how the data will be used; 3) a statement that the investigators will a) not further share the primary data with third parties, b) protect the privacy of subjects, c) provide a means to protect the confidentiality of the data; and 4) a data transfer/use agreement with CWRU. Only data necessary to meet the goals of the investigators' research proposal will be provided to limit the risk of identifying individual research subjects.
