    Outcomes

    Primary Outcome Measures

    Change in Hemoglobin A1C %
    Finger poke
    Change in Depressive Symptoms
    Patient Health Questionnaire-9 Scale, a scale to measure depression severity. Scores less than 5 almost always signified the absence of a depressive disorder; scores of 5 to 9 predominantly represented patients with either no depression or subthreshold (i.e., other) depression; scores of 10 to 14 represented a spectrum of patients; and scores of 15 or greater usually indicated major depression.
    Blood Pressure
    Digital Blood Pressure Machine measuring systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Blood pressures will be measured twice and averaged. The average will be recorded as the blood pressure reading.
    Heart Rate
    Digital Blood Pressure Machine (with heart rate measure)
    Physical Activity Minutes Each Week
    Minutes of physical activity each week logged in a physical activity diary.
    Number of Steps
    Pedometer readings

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    Diabetes Quality of Life
    The Diabetes Quality of Life Brief Clinical Inventory contains 15 items, with response options ranging from 1 ("Very Satisfied") to 5 ("Very Dissatisfied"). Possible scores range from 15 to 75. Lower scores suggest a satisfactory quality of life.
    General Quality of Life
    Short Form-12 Scale (SF-12). The 12 response options are coded as follows: 1=yes, limited a lot; 2=yes, limited a little; 3=no, not limited at all. A higher score is indicative of better health.

    5. Study Description

    Brief Summary
    Program AACTIVE will enroll 80 African American/Black men with type 2 diabetes and depression. Participants will be randomized to either the intervention arm or the control arm. Participants in the intervention arm will receive talk therapy and physical activity sessions over 12 weeks. Talk therapy and physical activity sessions will take place via a video conferencing platform. There will also be 3 in-person health assessments including baseline, at 12-weeks and 3-month follow up. The investigators are interested in seeing if physical activity and talk therapy improve A1C outcomes and depression symptoms for participants.

    Other Pre-specified Outcome Measures:
    Title
    Diabetes Self-Efficacy
    Description
    Perceived Diabetes Self-Management Scale (PDSMS). The responses for the PDSMS items range from 1 = "Strongly Disagree" to 5 = "Strongly Agree." Four of the items (#s 1, 2, 6, & 7) are worded such that high agreement signifies low self-efficacy or perceived competence. These four items are reverse scored prior to being added to the other four items. The total PDSMS score can range from 8 to 40, with higher scores indicating more confidence in self-managing one's diabetes.
    Time Frame
    baseline, 3-months (post intervention), 6-months (3-month follow up)
    Title
    Masculinity Ideology
    Description
    Conformity to Masculine Norms Inventory (CMNI-30). The 30-item scale contains 10 subscales (three items per subscale). Response options range from 0 ("strongly disagree") to 5 ("strongly agree"). Items within each subscale are averaged and then summed across all subscales. Higher scores represent stronger conformity to traditional masculine norms.
    Time Frame
    baseline, 3-months (post intervention), 6-months (3-month follow up)
    Title
    BMI
    Description
    kilograms/meters squared
    Time Frame
    baseline, 3-months (post intervention), 6-months (3-month follow up)
    Title
    Social Support
    Description
    Duke-UNC Functional Social Support Questionnaire. This is an 8 question scale and responses to each question are scored on a 1 to 5 scale. "As much as I would like" receives a score of 5 and "Much less than I would like" receives a score of 1. The scores from all eight questions are summed (maximum 40) and then divided by 8 to get an average score. The higher the average score, the greater the perceived social support.
    Time Frame
    baseline, 3-months (post intervention), 6-months (3-month follow up)
    Title
    Diabetes-related Distress
    Description
    Type 2 Diabetes Distress Assessment System. The scale is comprised of an 8-item Core Tool, and a Sources Tool that examines seven distinct Sources of diabetes distress, each containing three items. On a 5-point Likert scale, response options range from 1 ("not a problem") to 5 ("very serious problem"). A higher Core diabetes distress score has been associated with higher HbA1c levels, BMI, and poorer self-management behaviors. There are no established thresholds for what would be considered "elevated" diabetes distress.
    Time Frame
    baseline, 3-months (post intervention), 6-months (3-month follow up)
    Title
    Prescribed Medication Adherence
    Description
    Adherence to Refills and Medicines Scale for Diabetes (ARMS-D). ARMS-D is a 12-item scale with response options ranging from 1 ("none of the time") to 4 ("all of the time"). Scores are summed (range: 12 to 48), where higher scores are indicative of greater difficulty taking diabetes medications.
