Resilience-Based Diabetes Self-Management Education (RB-DSME) for African Americans (NCT04282395)
Improving Health Outcomes in African Americans With Type 2 Diabetes: A Culturally Tailored, Resilience-Based Diabetes Self-Management Education (RB-DSME) Intervention
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
African Americans are twice as likely to have type 2 diabetes as non-Hispanic Whites and are less likely to engage in effective diabetes self-management. There is a critical need for intensive lifestyle interventions that address the distress inherent in having the disease and the unique stressors faced by African Americans that may worsen diabetes-related health outcomes. Our program, Resilience-Based Diabetes Self-Management Education and Support, integrates resilience resources with diabetes self-management skills to enable African-American patients to manage the daily demands of the disease and improve long-term adherence to healthy lifestyle choices, thereby reducing the negative health burden of diabetes.
