Summary

The purpose of this project is two-fold: (1) to determine the feasibility of recruiting rural African American (AA) adults in South Carolina (SC) for assessing the usefulness of tablet-based resources in good diabetes self-management behaviors, and (2) to test a tablet-aided intervention for improving diabetes self-management behaviors

Detailed description

The proposed study will assess the feasibility of recruitment of African American adults residing in rural South Carolina who will assist with improving the usability of tablet computers. In addition, we will implement a pilot trial of the TABLETS (Tablet-Aided BehavioraL intervention Effect on Self-management skills) intervention for diabetes, using motivational strategies, among rural African Americans. The proposed project is designed to address 3 important issues: recruitment for a hard-to-reach population, utility of technology-enabled intervention, and development of a tablet-aided intervention tailored to understand best practices for diabetes self-management

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	Tablets Intervention	The TABLET intervention adds a novel tablet-based delivery mechanism to provide real-time videoconferencing education about diabetes self-management behaviors to high-risk, low-income African American (AA) adults with diabetes. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) knowledge/ information modules consist of materials developed from a CVD patient education booklet adapted from Maine Heart Center of Maine Health and supplemented by clinical guidelines to specifically address behavioral risk factors. Motivation/behavioral skills training modules consist of patient activation (asking questions to providers), patient empowerment (CVD responsibility contracts, flow charts for lab results), and behavioral skills training (self-monitoring, goal-setting).
