REACH-Es: Adapting a Digital Health Tool to Improve Diabetes Medication

Status Not yet recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

Latino individuals, the fastest growing ethnic minority population in the United States, have a higher prevalence of type 2 diabetes and diabetes-related complications, and are more likely to report inconsistent use of diabetes medications than non-Hispanic White individuals. The proposed project will test an interactive text message-based tool tailored to address barriers to taking diabetes medications that are relevant to Latino adults. If found feasible, acceptable, and usable, this intervention could serve as a scalable tool to improve diabetes management and reduce diabetes-related complications among Latino adults in the United States.

Clinical Trial Description

Latino adults have a disproportionate burden of type 2 diabetes and diabetes-related complications. Diabetes medication non-adherence is an important modifiable contributor to suboptimal glycemic management among Latino adults, who are nearly twice as likely to report non-adherence to diabetes medications as non-Hispanic White individuals. Besides language barriers, additional commonly reported barriers that contribute to non-adherence in this population include negative perceptions about insulin use and misunderstanding ongoing need for diabetes medications once HbA1c has improved. Mobile health (mHealth) technology can reduce medication adherence barriers and improve adherence behavior, but mHealth tools that address commonly reported barriers to diabetes medication adherence among Latino adults are lacking. One such mHealth platform is REACH (Rapid Encouragement/Education And Communications for Health), a text message-based tool that improved diabetes medication adherence and glycemic control among English-speaking adults with type 2 diabetes. This study will evaluate REACH-Español (hereafter "REACH-Es), an mHealth platform adapted from the original REACH intervention that will incorporate qualitative input from Latino adults with type 2 diabetes on barriers to diabetes medication adherence relevant to this population. Specifically, the investigators will conduct a pilot RCT (n=70) to assess feasibility, acceptability, and usability of REACH-Es, as well as intervention targets (diabetes medication adherence and barriers to adherence) comparing REACH-Es to enhanced treatment as usual; secondary outcomes are HbA1c and diabetes self- efficacy. The project will generate preliminary data for an R01 hybrid-effectiveness implementation trial of REACH-Es. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
