Arm Description

Patient and Support Person (dyad) will be included together as much as possible. The dyad will: Take part in a one-hour introductory session and review of the patient's Diabetes Complications Risk Assessment profile. Be invited to 4-6 Support Person-focused, group diabetes self-management education (DSME) sessions lasting 1-2 ½ hours each. Receive case management contacts with a Community Health Worker (CHW) once every 2-4 weeks, subject to participant availability. Successful contacts will last approximately 20 minutes.

This arm will focus on the patient only. The Support Person assigned to this arm will not be invited to the introduction sessions, care management contacts, or diabetes self-management education sessions. Patients assigned to this arm will: Take part in a one-hour introductory session and review of patient's diabetes management risk assessment. Be invited to 4-6 group diabetes self-management education (DSME) sessions lasting 45 min to 2 hours each. Receive case management contacts with a Community Health Worker (CHW) once every 2-4 weeks, subject to participant availability. Successful contacts will last approximately 20 minutes.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Change from baseline in patient glycemic control at 6 months
Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) in % will be measured through finger stick performed by a study RA, by a clinician as a part of the patients' regular care, or by the patients themselves via a home test kit.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Change from baseline in patient glycemic control at 12 months
Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) in % will be measured through finger stick performed by a study RA, by a clinician as a part of the patients' regular care, or by the patients themselves via a home test kit.
Change in systolic blood pressure
SBP will be measured using an electronic, upper arm blood pressure monitor.
Change in systolic blood pressure
SBP will be measured using an electronic, upper arm blood pressure monitor.
Change in diabetes distress in patient
Patient diabetes distress will be assessed using the Problem Areas in Diabetes (PAID-5) Scale. The scale is comprised of 5 closed-ended items with response options ranging from 0 ('not a problem') to 4 ('serious problem'). The scale's 5 items will be summed to create a total score with a range of 0 to 20. A total score of >=8 indicates possible diabetes-related emotional distress that warrants further assessment, with higher scores suggesting greater diabetes-related emotional distress.

Change in self-efficacy of patient
Patient self-efficacy for managing diabetes will be assessed with the Self-Efficacy for Managing Chronic Diseases Scale. The scale is comprised of 5 items asking respondents to indicate how confident they are that they regularly can perform tasks related to their diabetes management. Responses range from 0 to 10, with higher numbers indicating greater self-efficacy.
Change in patient activation in patient
Patient activation will be assessed with the Patient Activation Measure (PAM)-10. Using a 4-point scale (1=strongly disagree to 4=strongly agree), respondents indicate the extent to which statements related to being ready, willing and able to manage their health and health care accurately describe them. Responses are summed to create a total score with higher numbers indicating greater activation.
Patient perceived overall satisfaction with SP support for diabetes
Patient satisfaction with SP support for diabetes will be assessed with o items assessing patient's satisfaction with the support they receive from their SP and whether they feel like they would be worse off without their SP's help with their diabetes care. Responses will be rated on a 7-point scale ranging from "strongly disagree" to "strongly agree". Responses are summed to create a total score with higher numbers indicating greater satisfaction.
Patient perception of SP support: Supportive and non-supportive behaviors
Patient perception of SP's supportive behaviors will be assessed using the 8-item Important Other Climate Questionnaire (IOCQ) and non-supportive behaviors using 3 similarly-structured items addressing SP irritation, criticism and argumentativeness. All items are rated on a 7-point scale ranging from 1 ("strongly disagree") to 7 ("strongly agree"), with non-supportive behavior items being reversed scored.
Impact of COVID on ability to manage diabetes
Impact of COVID on Ability to Manage Diabetes will be assessed with a single closed-ended item: "In the last six months, how have the COVID pandemic or social distancing rules affected your ability to manage your diabetes?" The item is rated on a 5-point scale ranging from "much harder" to "much easier".
Change in diabetes distress in support person
Support person distress about the patient's diabetes will be assessed using the Problem Areas in Diabetes (PAID-5) Scale (for family members). The scale is comprised of 5 closed-ended items with response options ranging from 0 ('not a problem') to 4 ('serious problem'). The scale's 5 items will be summed to create a total score with a range of 0 to 20. A total score of >=8 indicates possible diabetes-related emotional distress that warrants further assessment, with higher scores suggesting greater diabetes-related emotional distress.
Change in self-efficacy of support person
Support person self-efficacy for helping the patient with managing diabetes will be assessed with the Self-Efficacy for Managing Chronic Diseases Scale (adapted for support persons). The scale is comprised of 5 items asking respondents to indicate how confident they are that they regularly can help patients perform tasks related to their diabetes management. Responses range from 0 to 10, with higher numbers indicating greater self-efficacy.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The objective of this study is to compare the effectiveness of a novel program-Family Support for Health Action (FAM-ACT) - to individual patient-focused diabetes self-management education and support (I-DSMES).
Detailed Description
FAM-ACT uses three innovative approaches to enhance the impact of family support on diabetes management for adults with diabetes (AWDs): coach family supporters in regular discussions about AWDs' diabetes progress and goals that uses empathetic and autonomy-supportive communication, coach family supporters in practical roles that support diabetes-specific tasks tailored to AWDs' personal goals, leverage family support in the setting of other types of social support for AWDs (support from other AWDs and their family members and Community Health Workers (CHWs)) FAM-ACT will be developed and implemented in culturally-concordant ways, in partnership with the community participating in the program. Adults with type 2 diabetes and either poor glycemic or blood pressure control will be randomized together with a Support Person (a chosen adult family member or friend) to receive either FAM-ACT or more traditional CHW-led patient-focused I-DSMES over 6 months. See our published protocol (Deverts et al 2022; full citation in references section) for additional details on the protocol including any changes made after the study started.
