Coached Care for Diabetes

Project Description        

The Coached Care for Diabetes Program (CCDP) aims to improve care and decrease disparities in Latinos and Asian Americans (primarily Vietnamese) with type 2 diabetes and is being implemented among a diverse ethnic, geographic and economic subset of these populations. The program is novel in its use of community-based "coaches," recruited directly from each target community, and who themselves have type 2 diabetes.  CCDP focuses on: 1) providing patients with individualized treatment information; 2) teaching patients skills to negotiate a treatment regimen consistent with their preferences, cultures, and lifestyles; 3) teaching patients skills for diabetes self-management; and 4) preparing patients for a more active role in their care. In addition to patient self-care, CCDP also concentrates on the patient-provider interaction, focusing on problem areas of treatment and lifestyle modification that need to be identified, discussed, and negotiated with the provider. The project has the ability to yield substantial value to the understanding of “Coached Care” principles in the treatment of minority patient populations, regardless of the intervention’s effect, by providing process information on how the targeted populations in this intervention respond to efforts to improve self-care.
