Brief summary
The goal of this IDEAL project is to examine the effectiveness and implementation process of the video-based Diabetes Self-Management Education and Support (DSMES) + community health worker (CHW) (hereafter: "IDEAL") intervention compared with a wait-list control group (hereafter: "CONTROL") to improve glycemic control among Chinese immigrants with Type 2 diabetes (T2D) in New York City (NYC). Participants will be randomized with equal allocation to one of the 2 groups. The IDEAL group will receive 1 DSMES brief video/week for 24 weeks delivered via text message. The CHW will assess participants' SDOH barriers to T2D care and link them to available resources in the community. The CONTROL group will continue to receive their usual care and at the end of the study, they will receive DSMES videos.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Change in Hemoglobin A1C (HbA1c) Test Scores | Baseline, Month 6 | Scores expressed as a percentage of red blood cells that have sugar-coated hemoglobin. Patients with Type 2 Diabetes receive a HbA1c blood test at their doctors' office every 3-6 months as part of usual care; testing results will be abstracted from the medical record at the participant's health care facility to minimize participant burden. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Stanford Self-Efficacy for Diabetes Scale Score | Baseline | 8-item self-assessment of participants' confidence level in performing specific self-management behaviors. Items are ranked on a 10-point Likert scale ranging from 1 (not at all confident) to 10 (totally confident). The score is the mean of the 8 items (Range: 1-10); higher scores indicate greater self-efficacy. |
| Summary of Diabetes Self-Care Activities (SDSCA) Score | Baseline | 11-item self-report questionnaire assessing participants' adherence to diabetes self-management behaviors. Participants select the number of days (0 to 7) in the past week they have performed the behavior. The result is an average score between 0 and 7; higher scores indicate better diabetes self-management behavior. |
| Starting the Conversation (STC) Diet Scale Score | Baseline | 8-item self-report questionnaire measuring dietary behaviors. Scores range from 0 to 16; higher scores indicate more dietary behaviors that are not consistent with health. |
| National Cancer Institute Dietary Screener Questionnaire Score | Baseline | 27-item self-assessment of frequency of consumption of selected foods and drinks over the past month. The scoring procedure converts responses to estimates of individual dietary intake for: Fruits and Vegetables (cup equivalents); Dairy (cup equivalents); Added Sugars (teaspoon equivalents); Whole Grains (ounce equivalents); Fiber (grams); and Calcium (milligrams). Higher scores indicate higher consumption of the food item. |
| International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) Short-Version Score | Baseline | Self-assessment providing an estimate of the number of minutes per week participants engage in three categories of physical activity: vigorous activity, moderate activity, and walking activity. Results are expressed in metabolic equivalent (MET) minutes per week. MET minutes represent the amount of energy expended carrying out physical activity. The formula for calculating MET is as follows: 8(vigorous activity)(minutes) + 4 (moderate activity)(minutes) +3.3 (walking activity) (minutes) = MET. Higher scores indicate higher weekly levels of physical activity. |
