Diabetes Mellitus Clinical Trial
Official title:
Indigenous Youth and Young Adults With Diabetes Peer Mentorship Program
The goal of this study is to learn if an Indigenous led peer-mentor program can provide Indigenous youth and young adults with the support needed to improve their distress and improve their diabetes control. Also, we will learn about Indigenous youth and young adults experience with diabetes. - Can a peer-mentoring program reduce diabetes distress among Indigenous youth and young adults with diabetes? - What is it like for Indigenous youth and young adults to be live with diabetes? - Can a peer-mentoring program reduce global distress and improve resilience among Indigenous youth and young adults with diabetes? - Can a peer-mentoring program lead to changes in lifestyle (diet, physical activity, substance use) and diabetes related clinical outcomes among Indigenous youth and young adults with diabetes. Researchers will compare distress, resilience, lifestyles, and diabetes related clinical outcomes before participating in the peer-mentoring program and at 6 and 12 months into the program. Additionally, participants will be asked to share their journey with diabetes through photos throughout the program Participants will: - Be paired with peer-mentors who also have diabetes and they will share their journey with diabetes - Participate in activities (grocery tours, walking clubs, land-based activities, cooking classes) held by peer-mentors - Complete questionnaires on distress, resilience, and lifestyle every 6 months. - Participate in Photovoice workshops to share their stories through pictures.
The rates of diabetes are increasing among youth and young adults. This rise is particularly steep among Indigenous peoples who also face high rates of depression and emotional distress due to the ongoing legacy of colonization resulting in systemic racism and intergenerational trauma. Diabetes care includes many aspects of self-care (checking sugar, taking medication, following exercise and diet advice), which is negatively impacted by emotional distress. The emotional distress specific to living with diabetes, known as diabetes distress (DD), is due to feeling overwhelmed by the demands of self-care, fears of complications, and guilt or shame over lifestyle choices. DD is known to be related to decreased wellbeing and poor diabetes control. The rate of DD has not been studied among Indigenous youth, nor have interventions aimed at reducing it to improve diabetes management. Peer support has been shown to help empower youth and young adults by normalizing their experiences and providing a safe space to express themselves. In the Eeyou Istchee Cree community in Quebec, Jonathan Linton, an Indigenous young adult with diabetes, developed a program for youth with diabetes on management and self-care for diabetes that incorporates traditional elements. As he helps participants be more active and eat healthier, he supports them in their journey with diabetes and creates a safe space for them to voice concerns, easing their distress. This research study will build on the initiative developed by Mr. Linton to create a community of peer-mentors to provide Indigenous youth and young adults with the support needed to improve their distress and improve their diabetes control. To evaluate the program, a combination of questionnaires to assess changes in DD and other emotional factors, measures of diabetes outcomes (glycemia, blood pressure, weight), and Photovoice, a research tool that allows participants to use images to explain their experience with diabetes, will be used. ;
