Official title
Using Peer Navigators to Increase Access to VA and Community Resources for Veterans With Diabetes-related Distress
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Patients with diabetes are often challenged by the routine of managing their diabetes, and may experience both stress and medical problems. Diabetes-related medical problems and stress often happen together and affect peoples' ability to live a full, happy and healthy life. Because of this, programs that help with medical problems and stress by teaching ways to better manage diabetes and stress may improve the lives of those with diabetes. Many excellent programs are available in the VA and in the community that help persons with diabetes better manage their medical problems and stress, but often times Veterans have trouble finding these programs. The purpose of the study is to see if a telephone-based coaching program improves the physical and emotional health of Veterans with diabetes more than use of a directory of community and VA resources and no coaching. The Veterans who receive the directory of community and VA resources will be given this at the beginning of the study and will access resources as they see fit. Those in the coaching program will be coached by a Veteran with knowledge of diabetes, mental health and community resources who will help them connect to care in the VA and/or community depending on their preference. Examples of resources available in the VA and community include mental health care and programs to help with diet, exercise and learning about how to better manage diabetes. Veterans who are interested in participating and pass screening will be enrolled in the study for about 6 months. Each enrolled Veteran will have a 50% chance of being enrolled in the coaching group and a 50% chance of being enrolled in the directory group (like the flip of a coin). Both groups will be asked to complete several questionnaires about their health and well-being by telephone. This will occur at the beginning of the study and three and six months later. The questionnaires will take about an hour to complete each time.
