Summary

The study will evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and effectiveness of AYUDA (Assisting Younger Adults with Diabetes), a 12-week culturally text message program for Latinx adults newly diagnosed with type 2 diabetes who are caregivers to a child under 18 years old within Kaiser Permanente Northern California.

Detailed description

After designing the AYUDA program with input from the people it is meant to help, we are conducting a randomized pilot study. This study will test the program with younger Latinx adults who have recently been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and who are also caregivers for dependent children. AYUDA is a health system specifically designed for this group, focusing on their life stage as young adults and their cultural background. The study will evaluate how well AYUDA helps participants reach important early blood sugar control goals, which can lead to better health over time and reduce complications.
