Brief Summary:
The aim of this research will be to perform a small randomized controlled trial RCT of a new diabetes educational intervention that teaches self-management skills that compensate for poor numeracy skills among a sample of primary care patients with type 2 diabetes and low literacy andor numeracy
Detailed Description:
Results of the National Adult Literacy Survey NALS suggest that over 90 million adult Americans have poor quantitative skills Numeracy the ability to understand and use numbers and math skills in daily life may be particularly important to patients with diabetes because caring for diabetes often requires self-management skills that rely on the daily application of math skills such as counting carbohydrates interpreting blood glucose monitoring applying sliding scale insulin regimens and calculating insulin to carbohydrate ratios Presumably diabetes patients with poor numeracy have more difficulty with self-management and are at risk for poorer clinical outcomes but to date there are no published studies that rigorously examine the role of numeracy in diabetes We have recently completed the initial development of a new scale to measure numeracy in patients with diabetes the Diabetes Numeracy Test DNT
The aim of this research will be to perform a small randomized controlled trial RCT of a new diabetes educational intervention that teaches self-management skills that compensate for poor literacy and numeracy skills among a sample of patients with type 2 diabetes and low numeracy or literacy skills We hypothesize that a group of patients with poor literacy andor numeracy who are taught self-management skills that accommodate their poor numeracy will have 1 improved treatment satisfaction and perceived self-efficacy 2 improved performance in self-management tasks and 3 improved glycemic control compared to a control group that receives usual education and care
