Peer-Led Self-Management Support in "Real World" Clinical and Community Settings

This study will systematically evaluate a training program in state-of-the-art behavioral change approaches and facilitation skills for peer leaders and a peer-led diabetes self-management support program designed to be conducted in community and clinic-based settings on an ongoing basis.

In phase one we will develop and evaluate a theoretically-driven program to train peer leaders to facilitate longer-term empowerment-based interventions that, when led by health care professionals, have been associated with improved diabetes-related health and psychosocial outcomes.1-8 In phase two we will examine the impact of a sustained peer-led, empowerment-based self-management intervention on improving and maintaining diabetes-related health outcomes. We propose to develop and test the training and program simultaneously in two distinct cultural and linguistic communities with which the team already has strong working relationships and a track record of prior work: African-American (AA) adults in a community-based setting (Ypsilanti, Michigan) and Latino adults (Spanish- and English-speaking) in a clinic-based setting (Southwest Detroit). This will allow us to compare and contrast the translations of the training and program in these two different contexts and to better refine and understand effective methods and develop culturally tailored training and program materials in both English and Spanish.
