Together Overcoming Diabetes
Sponsor: Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health
Summary
Together Overcoming Diabetes (TOD) is a culturally tailored, family-based type 2 diabetes management and preventive intervention. Participants in this trial are American Indian adult caregivers diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and their youth, aged 10-16 years at enrollment. Adult/youth participant dyads will be enrolled across 5 Ojibwe tribal communities. Consenting participant dyads will be randomized into one of two groups: Group A: begin the intervention program immediately; Group B (waitlist): begin the intervention program in 2 years. Both groups will complete assessments with study staff at baseline, 3, 6, 12, 18, and 24 months to assess HbA1c, cholesterol, blood pressure (adults), biometric measures, and psychosocial and behavioral outcomes (adults and youth). The 14-lesson intervention program will be delivered in the participant's home by local Family Health Coaches over a 6-month period. Upon completion of the intervention, participants may also be invited to participate in a "Ripple Effects Mapping" (REM) session for discussions, and mapping of the intervention effects.
