摘要

Background

Although studies have demonstrated that many patient-centered behavioral interventions are effective in improving diabetes self-care, little is known regarding their comparative effectiveness.

Objective

The Management of Diabetes in Everyday Life (MODEL) Study sought to compare the effectiveness of promising alternative patient-centered behavioral interventions, including educational materials (EM) alone, health coaching (HC)+EM, and text messaging (TM)+EM, for improving diabetes self-care.

Design

Three-arm pragmatic randomized controlled trial (ClinicalTrials.gov NCT02957513).

Participants

A total of 666 African-American adults with uncontrolled diabetes (hemoglobin A1c [HbA1c] ≥ 8%) and multiple chronic conditions from 19 Mid-South US primary care practices randomly assigned to EM, HC+EM, or TM+EM in a 1:2:2 ratio.

Interventions

EM-alone participants received culturally tailored and patient-vetted diabetes EM. HC+EM participants received motivational interviewing–based coaching from certified lay health coaches. TM+EM participants received personalized and tailored messages.

Main Measures

Primary outcomes included patient-reported healthy eating, exercise, and medication adherence self-care behaviors. Secondary outcomes included HbA1c, body weight, quality of life, and primary care engagement.

Key Results

All three arms significantly improved healthy eating, exercise, and HbA1c from baseline to 12 months. EM participants increased healthy eating days by 0.67 ± 0.19 day/week (95% CI, 0.30–1.04), HC+EM by 0.99 ± 0.15 day/week (95% CI, 0.70–1.28), and TM+EM by 1.36 ± 0.15 day/week (95% CI, 1.07–1.64). Improvements in exercise behaviors were similar in all arms. TM+EM participants experienced significantly greater improvement in healthy eating than EM-alone participants (0.69 ± 0.24 day/week). Average reduction in HbA1c was 0.76% ± 0.12% (p ≤ 0.0001) and 90 of 349 participants (25.8%) with complete data for HbA1c achieved reductions below 8%.

Conclusion

The MODEL Study demonstrates that EM-alone, HC+EM, and TM+EM are effective for improving self-care behaviors and HbA1c. TM+EM is more effective than EM-alone in improving healthy eating. Low-cost EM, HC+EM, and TM+EM should be made more readily available in primary care settings nationwide.
