Description

This study will test the preliminary efficacy of a nurse case-manager, telephone-delivered intervention that provides diabetes self-management education and skills training and resolves the unmet social needs of older African Americans with poorly controlled type 2 diabetes by randomizing 100 African Americans aged 50 years and older with poorly controlled type 2 diabetes to the Combined Diabetes Education/Skills Training and Social Needs Resolution (DM Social Needs) Intervention (n=50) and usual care (n=50) arms. The aims of this study are: Aim 1: Test the preliminary efficacy of the DM Social Needs intervention on clinical outcomes in older AAs with uncontrolled type 2 diabetes. Aim 2: Test the preliminary efficacy of the DM Social Needs intervention on patient reported outcomes in older AAs with uncontrolled type 2 diabetes.
