A Pilot Study to Improve Diabetes Management Through Family-Based Health Care Navigation
Sponsor: Kaiser Permanente
Summary
The purpose of this research study is to compare the impact of providing culturally-tailored, diabetes management education in a group setting to standard diabetes care. We are conducting this study because previous research has demonstrated culturally tailored care can be effective in addressing health disparities. However, it has not been offered in a group setting, among Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders who share similar social experiences.

Interventions
Family-based group-centered DSMES plus social care navigation intervention
In the family-based group-centered intervention, participants and their family member (who may be food preparers or meal planners such as spouses, parents, or adult children) will participate in an existing 6-week, NHPI culturally adapted DSMES program offered by a NHPI community partner. Each participant and family unit will be assigned a NHPI CHW who will provide navigation support to social services and community-based resources to address social needs for 6 months.
Enhanced routine care
Participants in the enhanced routine care arm will receive the standard diabetes clinical care at KP Hawaii and be provided with a tailored community-based resource list.
