Brief summary

This study will integrate a technology-based patient-reported outcome (PRO) system \[herein MJS DIABETES\] that incorporates patients' perspective of their disease and functional status into the management of type 2 diabetes (T2D) in primary care practices. MJS DIABETES is an innovative mobile platform that utilizes text-messaging to capture patients' self-reported PROs in real-time; enhance patient engagement through data-driven feedback and motivational messages; and create dynamic visualizations of the PROs that can be shared in printed reports, and integrated into the EHR; thus making it actionable for patients and their PCPs. Using a mixed-methods design, this study will be conducted in 2 phases: 1) a formative phase, using the evidence-based user-centered design approach; and 2) a clinical-efficacy phase. For the formative phase, a qualitative research method will be used to: a) adapt MJS to the needs of PCPs and T2D patients; b) integrate MJS DIABETES into the EHR system, the primary care practice and the lives of patients with T2D; and c) evaluate the usability of MJS DIABETES in a subset of T2D patients and their PCPs in order to optimize the tool's performance and workflow integration. For the clinical efficacy phase, a randomized control trial will be used to identify the efficacy of MJS DIABETES versus Usual Care (UC) on reduction HbA1c at 12-months, among 282 patients with T2D who receive care in safety-net practices.

MeasureTime frameDescription
Summary of Diabetes Self-Care Activities (SDSCA): Blood-Glucose Testing Subscale ScoreBaselineThe SDSCA questionnaire is an assessment of diabetes self-management that includes items assessing the following aspects of the diabetes regimen: diet, exercise, blood-glucose testing and foot care. For each item on the blood-glucose testing subscale, respondents provide the number of days per week (0-7) that they engage in the activity. The total score is the average of all responses and ranges from 0-7; higher scores indicate more frequent weekly blood-glucose testing.
Summary of Diabetes Self-Care Activities (SDSCA): Foot Care Subscale ScoreBaselineThe SDSCA questionnaire is an assessment of diabetes self-management that includes items assessing the following aspects of the diabetes regimen: diet, exercise, blood-glucose testing and foot care. For each item on the foot care subscale, respondents provide the number of days per week (0-7) that they engage in the activity. The total score is the average of all responses and ranges from 0-7; higher scores indicate more frequent completion of foot care activities.
Michigan Diabetes Knowledge Scale ScoreBaseline20-item assessment of diabetes knowledge. Each item has a potential response of True, False, and I don't know. The total score is the number of correct responses normalized by the total number of items responded, and ranges from 0-1; higher scores indicate greater diabetes knowledge.
Summary of Diabetes Self-Care Activities (SDSCA): Diet Subscale ScoreBaselineThe SDSCA questionnaire is an assessment of diabetes self-management that includes items assessing the following aspects of the diabetes regimen: diet, exercise, blood-glucose testing, and foot care. For each item on the diet subscale, respondents provide the number of days per week (0-7) that they engage in the activity. The total score is the average of all responses and ranges from 0-7; higher scores indicate healthier diet.
Interpersonal Processes of Care Score Communication Subscale ScoreBaseline18-item assessment of participants' experiences talking with doctors during the study includes items assessing the following aspects of the IPC: 1) Communication, 2) Decision Making, and 3) Inter-personal style. Each item is rated on a Likert scale from 1 (never) to 5 (always). Scores in negative items are reversed. The total scale score is mean of nonmissing items and ranges from 1-5. Higher scores indicate higher frequency of the construct (higher communication scores indicate better patient-provider communication).
Interpersonal Processes of Care: Decision Making Subscale ScoreBaseline18-item assessment of participants' experiences talking with doctors during the study includes items assessing the following aspects of the IPC: 1) Communication, 2) Decision Making, and 3) Inter-personal style. Each item is rated on a Likert scale from 1 (never) to 5 (always). Scores in negative items were reversed. Total scale score is mean of nonmissing items and ranges from 1-5. Higher scores indicate higher frequency of the construct (higher decision making scores indicate more decision making).
Interpersonal Processes of Care: Inter-personal Style Subscale ScoreBaseline18-item assessment of participants' experiences talking with doctors during the study includes items assessing the following aspects of the IPC: 1) Communication, 2) Decision Making, and 3) Inter-personal style. Each item is rated on a Likert scale from 1 (never) to 5 (always). Scores in negative items were reversed. Total scale score is mean of nonmissing items and ranges from 1-5. Higher scores indicate higher frequency of the construct (higher inter-personal style scores indicate more inter-personal style).
Diabetes Self-Efficacy Scale ScoreBaseline12-item assessment of participants' confidence in performing certain diabetes-related tasks. For each item, participants select from a Likert scale ranging from 0 (not at all confident) to 10 (very confident). The total score is the sum of responses normalized by the number of items responded and ranges from 0-10; higher scores indicate greater diabetes self-efficacy.
Summary of Diabetes Self-Care Activities (SDSCA): Exercise Subscale ScoreBaselineThe SDSCA questionnaire is an assessment of diabetes self-management that includes items assessing the following aspects of the diabetes regimen: diet, exercise, blood-glucose testing and foot care. For each item on the exercise subscale, respondents provide the number of days per week (0-7) that they engage in the activity. The total score is the average of all responses and ranges from 0-7; higher scores indicate greater amounts of exercise.
