Proposed Project
Families, Communities, and Diabetes Management Project--New--
National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion
(NCCDPHP), Division of Diabetes Translation. Diabetes Type 2 is a
serious chronic metabolic disease with serious potential health
consequences that include both psychological and physical health
conditions. Diabetes care is important in the management of this
disease. Previous studies examining factors that influence diabetes
management have examined psychological, patient-provider relationships,
family and social support, health insurance availability and
utilization, dietary consumption, and levels of physical activity. Most
of what is known about managing diabetes has been generated using
results based on findings with predominately white audiences.
Therefore, NCCDPHP, Division of Diabetes Translation, intends to
conduct a longitudinal study examining complex inter-and intra-personal
factors unique to African-American and Mexican-American adults living
with diabetes. Also contributing to this study will be family members
of these individuals. Examination of these factors will help to develop
effective
[[Page 52097]]
intervention models for these populations.
The research design will involve separate samples of African-
Americans and Mexican-Americans between the ages of 40 and 64 with Type
2 Diabetes. Significant family members of these individuals will also
participate. Participating families will be divided into two groups, an
intervention group that will receive the intervention at the beginning
of the study, and a comparison group that will receive a modified
version at the end. Both self-report via questionnaires and more
objective measures (e.g., hemoglobin blood glucose levels) of self-care
adherence and diabetes control will be measured. Information collected
will include diabetes knowledge, community characteristics, forms of
social support, patient-provider relationship, and health care
coverage. The total cost is estimated at $3,707.473.00
