项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Despite strong evidence about the optimal treatment of diabetes, care often remains suboptimal. One recent examination of a national sample of diabetes patients found that less than 10% of patients surveyed were in optimal blood sugar, blood pressure and cholesterol control. One recently discovered barrier to optimal diabetes care is poor health literacy. Poor health literacy affects over 90 million Americans. Our research group was one of the first to demonstrate that low health literacy was independently associated with worse diabetes knowledge, self-management, and glycemic control (A1C). Numeracy (math skills) is an understudied component of literacy that is essential for many tasks in diabetes including glucose monitoring, assessing carbohydrate intake, and medication adjustment. Recently, our group demonstrated that poor numeracy is common in adults with diabetes and significantly associated with worse diabetes self-management, self- efficacy, and A1C. Addressing literacy and numeracy represent an exciting opportunity to improve diabetes care, because these are potentially modifiable risk factors. We recently performed four trials at academic medical centers that suggest that addressing literacy and numeracy can improve diabetes control. The aim of the proposed study is to perform a cluster-randomized trial to assess the efficacy of a low- literacy/numeracy-oriented intervention to improve diabetes care in under-resourced communities in Tennessee. The state of Tennessee now has a higher prevalence of diabetes then any other state in the nation. The study will occur in Tennessee Department of Health "safety net" primary care clinics in middle Tennessee. These primary care clinics provide diabetes care for a predominantly uninsured population at high risk for poor diabetes related health. The study represents a novel partnership between the Tennessee Department of Health and the Vanderbilt Diabetes Research and Training Center to improve care for a vulnerable population of diabetes patients. Ten State Health Department Clinics located in medically underserved areas will be randomized, and a total of 400 diabetes patients will be enrolled. Health Care Providers at the 5 control sites will receive standard diabetes education and the use of educational materials from the National Diabetes Education Program. Health Care Providers at intervention sites will receive training in clear health communication skills, and a Diabetes literacy and numeracy sensitive Educational Toolkit to use in partnership with their diabetes patients. Primary outcomes will include A1C, Blood Pressure, Cholesterol, Weight, Self-Management, and Self-Efficacy at 1 year. Patients will be followed for 2 years to assess sustainability. A cost-effectiveness analysis will be performed. The products of this study (health communication skills training modules and educational materials) will be disseminated via public access on the Internet. If successful, the proposed model will be disseminated across the State and will be a model for other Health Departments and clinics across the nation. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Over 90 million Americans have poor literacy or numeracy skills. Diabetes patients with poor literacy or numeracy skills can have poorer understanding of their disease, worse self-management, and worse blood sugar control. This study will be a novel partnership with the Tennessee Department of Health to improve care for vulnerable English and Spanish speaking patients with diabetes by improving health care providers' health communication skills, and providing a novel diabetes education toolkit that is sensitive to literacy and numeracy issues.

描述（由申请人提供）：尽管有强有力的证据表明糖尿病的最佳治疗方法，但护理往往仍然不够理想。最近对全国糖尿病患者样本进行的一项检查发现，接受调查的患者中只有不到 10% 的血糖、血压和胆固醇控制处于最佳状态。最近发现的最佳糖尿病护理的障碍之一是健康素养较差。健康素养低下影响了超过 9000 万美国人。我们的研究小组是最早证明低健康素养与较差的糖尿病知识、自我管理和血糖控制 (A1C) 独立相关的研究小组之一。计算能力（数学技能）是识字能力的一个未被充分研究的组成部分，对于糖尿病的许多任务至关重要，包括血糖监测、评估碳水化合物摄入量和药物调整。最近，我们的小组证明，计算能力差在成人糖尿病患者中很常见，并且与较差的糖尿病自我管理、自我效能和 A1C 显着相关。解决识字和算术问题是改善糖尿病护理的一个令人兴奋的机会，因为这些是潜在的可改变的风险因素。我们最近在学术医疗中心进行了四项试验，表明提高识字和算术能力可以改善糖尿病控制。拟议研究的目的是进行整群随机试验，以评估以低识字/算数为导向的干预措施改善田纳西州资源贫乏社区糖尿病护理的效果。田纳西州现在的糖尿病患病率比全国任何其他州都高。该研究将在田纳西州卫生部位于田纳西州中部的“安全网”初级保健诊所进行。这些初级保健诊所为糖尿病相关健康状况不佳的高风险人群（主要是未参保人群）提供糖尿病护理。该研究代表了田纳西州卫生部与范德比尔特糖尿病研究和培训中心之间的新型合作伙伴关系，旨在改善对糖尿病患者弱势群体的护理。位于医疗服务不足地区的 10 个州卫生部门诊所将被随机分组，总共 400 名糖尿病患者将被纳入其中。 5 个控制点的医疗保健提供者将接受标准糖尿病教育并使用国家糖尿病教育计划的教育材料。干预地点的医疗保健提供者将接受清晰的健康沟通技巧培训，以及与糖尿病患者合作使用的糖尿病识字和数学敏感教育工具包。主要结果包括 1 年时的 A1C、血压、胆固醇、体重、自我管理和自我效能。患者将被跟踪两年以评估可持续性。将进行成本效益分析。本研究的产品（健康沟通技能培训模块和教育材料）将通过互联网上的公众访问进行传播。如果成功，拟议的模式将在全州推广，并将成为全国其他卫生部门和诊所的典范。公共卫生相关性：超过 9000 万美国人的识字或算术能力较差。识字或算数能力较差的糖尿病患者对其疾病的了解较差，自我管理能力较差，血糖控制能力较差。这项研究将与田纳西州卫生部建立新的合作伙伴关系，通过提高医疗保健提供者的健康沟通技巧，并提供对识字和算术问题敏感的新型糖尿病教育工具包，改善对弱势英语和西班牙语糖尿病患者的护理。
