Diabetes Treatment in Primary Care Settings
Title: Comparing Patient‐Centered Outcomes of Standardized vs Patient‐Driven Diabetes Shared Medical Appointments
Summary: In
this proposed study, we will compare the effec veness of patient‐driven
diabetes shared medical appointments (SMAs) to standardized diabetes
SMAs. The curriculum to be used is Targeted Training for Illness
Management (TTIM), a 12‐session modular group interven on for chronic
illness self‐management, and has been tested in diabetes. The
standardized group visit model will consist of diabetes SMAs with the
full TTIM 12‐session curriculum, led by a health educator. For the
patient‐driven SMAs, patients choose the topics and the order of
sessions from TTIM the curriculum, which is delivered collaboratively by
the multidisciplinary care team consisting of several professional
providers (health educator, medical provider, and behavioral health
provider) and a lay worker (diabetes peer mentor). The primary
patient‐centered outcome, selected by patient stakeholders, is diabetes
distress. Secondary outcomes include autonomy support, quality of life,
and diabetes self‐management behaviors, clinical outcomes (hemoglobin
A1c, blood pressure, and body mass index), patient reach and engagement,
and practice‐level value and sustainability.
