HOME DM-BAT: Home-based Diabetes-Modified Behavioral Activation Treatment for Low Income Seniors with T2DM
Description: Diabetes disproportionately impacts ethnic minority elders and is associated with increased morbidity, mortality and disability. Key drivers of health disparities, and thus an important area for intervention, are the social determinants of health; and while psychosocial factors are important mutable social determinants of health, few large RCTs have tested interventions that address the unique psychosocial problems in minority elders and incorporate social determinants of health (e.g. food insecurity, housing insecurity, competing needs, stress/coping etc.). We propose to evaluate the effectiveness of 8 sessions of in-home, telephone-delivered, manualized diabetes-modified behavioral activation treatment (Home DM-BAT) delivered by trained diabetes nurse educators, in low income and high minority zip codes, with the long-term goal of improving metabolic control and reducing diabetes complications and mortality in this population.
