Together Overcoming Diabetes Intervention
EXPERIMENTALTogether Overcoming Diabetes curriculum adapted for Lakota caregivers and the caregivers families
Waitlist Standard of Care
PLACEBO COMPARATORParticipants who are waitlisted to receive the TOD intervention will receive Standard of Care.
Interventions
The adapted TOD intervention is rooted in the original TOD structure, delivery system, and home-visiting teaching schedule. Local enhancements include intervention topics and activities to address local adult caregivers' diabetes management and to promote families' modifiable risk and protective factors targeted by this proposal and informed by the Wicozani wellness concept and measurement. The TOD intervention includes targeted content taught approximately bi-weekly by family health coaches over a 16-week period.
Participants who are waitlisted to receive the TOD intervention will receive Standard of Care.
