Peer Support Clinical Trial
Official title:
From Clinic to Community: Using Peer Support as a Transition Model for Improving Long-term Diabetes-related Health Outcomes
This study is a 12-month study. There are two different groups in the study. Both groups will enter the study after the graduation from 8-hour diabetes education course taught at VGH, St. Paul's, or Richmond Hospital. The first group will receive on-going support from their peers who have diabetes and are trained specifically to help other patients with diabetes. The second group will receive the usual care.
This two-phase study is a randomized controlled trial (RCT) comparing usual care to a
12-month peer-led DSMS intervention designed to improve long-term diabetes-related health
outcomes.
In Phase 1, the research team will implement a 30-hour peer leader training (PLT) program
recruiting adults with type 2 diabetes and equipping them with the diabetes knowledge,
facilitation strategies, and communication skills to deliver a DSMS intervention. In Phase
2, the researchers will conduct the peer support intervention, referred to as the Peer-Led,
Empowerment-based Approach to Self-management Efforts in Diabetes (PLEASED). Patients
randomized to the PLEASED arm will be paired with a peer leader and receive 12 weekly
contacts (face-to-face and telephone support) from their peer leader (PL) in the first 3
months followed by 18 bi-weekly telephone support contacts over the last 9 months.
The goal of the PLEASED intervention is to help patients improve glycemic control and
diabetes specific QOL and sustain these health benefits over the long-term. To achieve this
goal, PLs will address 3 key functions of peer support that include assisting patients in
the daily management of their diabetes, providing social and emotional support, and linking
patients to clinical care resources.
Participants' inclusion criteria are: to (1) have type 2 diabetes, (2) be 21 years, (3)
speak English or Vietnamese or any languages that their peer leaders speak, (4) be willing
to be matched with a peer leader, and (5) have a personal land line telephone or mobile
phone.
Peer leaders' inclusion criteria are: (1) have diabetes, (2) be 21 years, (3) speak English,
(4) have transportation to attend training, (5) be willing to commit to a 30-hour training
program, and (6) have a land line telephone or mobile phone (7) have a self-reported HbA1c
of 8% or less.
