Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Diabetes Self-efficacy | Baseline | Self-efficacy will be assessed using an 8-item measure developed by Sarkar and colleagues asking respondents to rate their confidence in their ability to perform individual diabetes self-care activities, such as monitoring their blood glucose, getting medical attention, and taking care of their health. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Diabetes Distress | Baseline | The Diabetes Distress Scale (DDS) is a 17-item measure of diabetes-related emotional distress. It has four subscales corresponding to emotional burden, physician-related distress, regimen distress, and diabetes interpersonal distress. |
| Functional Health Status | Baseline | Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) is a national resource providing state-of-the-art tools for assessing patient symptoms and health outcomes. Short form measures of physical health (function) and emotional health (depression, anxiety) will be collected. |
| Clinical Outcomes | 3 months before baseline to 3 months after baseline | Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) and LDL cholesterol lab values, along with systolic and diastolic blood pressure values are collected as part of routine clinical care at every 3 months, and will be recorded from the medical record from the most recent visit. |
