Peer Support To Enhance The Shanghai Integration Model Of Diabetes Care: Dissemination To 12 Communities

PreDiabetes Clinical Trial

Official title: Peer Support to Enhance the Shanghai Integration Model of Diabetes Care: Dissemination to 12 Communities

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

This project will disseminate a community-level intervention that integrates peer support from Community Self-Management Groups (CSMGs) and primary care through Community Health Centers (CHC). The model and program materials were developed and refined from the first year of implementation within community health centers in Shanghai. This project will be implemented in 12 communities in 6 districts across Shanghai, representing a diverse cross section of the population. A total of 1440 subjects will be recruited from the 12 intervention communities and 720 control subjects will be recruited from 4 control communities.

Clinical Trial Description

The development of contemporary diabetes care offers new hope for long and satisfying lives of those with the disease, but also provides increased challenges for integration across the many dimensions of care (varied medications in addition to insulin, specialty services, diet, physical activity, stress management, etc.) and across the many who contribute to care (specialists, primary care providers, nurses, dietitians and patient educators, family members, friends, worksites). The Shanghai Integration Model (SIM) has made great strides to integrating specialty/hospital care with primary/community care. The addition of peer support can enhance patient engagement within that integrated care. Peer support can also integrate care with the daily behaviors and patterns that optimal diabetes management requires and with the family members and others in individuals' daily lives who can support diabetes management.
