NCT02158741

Brief Summary

The overall purpose of this research is to examine and compare the effectiveness and costs of a community-based intervention to support self-management with usual primary care for older adults with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and multiple chronic conditions and their family caregivers. Once the study is complete, the investigators will be able to determine if there is any measurable difference in self-care management between usual care plus the intervention versus usual care alone.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Summary of Diabetes Self-Care Activities

    The SDSCA is a multidimensional measure of diabetes self-management with adequate internal and test-retest reliability, and evidence of validity and sensitivity to change. The revised SDSCA consists of items that assess the following aspects of the diabetes regimen: general and specific diet, exercise, blood-glucose testing, foot care, and smoking. Scores are calculated for each of these five regimen areas. This data is collected by the interventionists at each visit.

    Every two months from study onset until the end of study (6 months from baseline)

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • SF12v2

    Baseline and end of study (6 months from baseline)

Other Outcomes (3)

  • CES-D-10

    Baseline and end of study (6 months from baseline)

  • GAD-7

    Baseline and end of study (6 months from baseline)

  • Health Assessment forms

    Baseline intervention interview, at 3 months and again at 6 months

Study Arms (2)

Usual Primary Care

NO INTERVENTION

Usual Primary Care will be received by half the participants during the course of the Study

Home Visits and educational support

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Intervention comprised of Home Visits and group educational sessions. Home Visits and will be conducted by Diabetes Education staff in lieu of usual care conducted at the Diabetes clinic. Lifestyle support and educational will be offered in the form of monthly Diabetes Wellness Days offered in the community where nutrition, exercise and support will be given to help improve self-management of diabetes.

Behavioral: Home Visits and Lifestyle Education Support
