Improving Medication Adherence Among Underserved Patients With Type 2 Diabetes
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This study evaluates a mobile phone-delivered intervention, called REACH (Rapid Education/Encouragement And Communications for Health), in supporting adults with type 2 diabetes in their self-management relative to a control group. The goal of this study is to determine if individually tailored content (based on the Information-Motivation-Behavioral Skills Model) delivered to the participant via text messages can improve the participant's glycemic control and adherence to diabetes medications. We will test whether our intervention improves adherence-related information, motivation, and behavioral skills and whether improving these mechanisms drives improvements in adherence and, in turn, glycemic control.

Experimental: REACH Participants will receive REACH text messages (individual-focused text messaging tailored to user's individual barriers to adherence and targeted to address other self-care behaviors) for 12 months. All participants will also receive text messages advising how to access their study A1c test results, receive quarterly newsletters on healthy living with diabetes, and have access to a Helpline for study- and diabetes medication-related questions. |
Behavioral: REACH
The intervention consists of daily text messaging tailored to user's individual barriers to medication adherence, text messages assessing user's adherence with feedback on progress, plus text messaging targeting other self-care behaviors.
Behavioral: Helpline and A1c results
Participants complete study assessments, receive text messages advising how to access study A1c results, receive quarterly newsletters on healthy living with diabetes, and have access to a helpline for study- or diabetes medication-related questions.
|
Experimental: REACH + FAMS In addition to the REACH text messages tailored to user's individual barriers to adherence, participants will receive FAMS components (monthly phone coaching and text messages supporting a goal set in coaching, plus the option to invite a family member/support person to receive text messages) for six months. After six months, participants in this arm will receive REACH text messages only. All participants will also receive text messages advising how to access their study A1c test results, receive quarterly newsletters on healthy living with diabetes, and have access to a Helpline for study- and diabetes medication-related questions. |
Behavioral: Helpline and A1c results
Participants complete study assessments, receive text messages advising how to access study A1c results, receive quarterly newsletters on healthy living with diabetes, and have access to a helpline for study- or diabetes medication-related questions.
Behavioral: REACH + FAMS
The intervention consists of REACH individually-focused text messaging, plus family-focused phone coaching session, goal-focused text messaging, and the option to invite a family member/support person to receive text messaging.

Active Comparator: Helpline and A1c results Participants assigned to the control group will complete measures at each time point and maintain care as usual (i.e., medical treatment and physician monitoring). All participants will receive text messages advising how to access their study A1c test results, receive quarterly newsletters on healthy living with diabetes, and have access to a Helpline for study- and diabetes medication-related questions. |

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Change in Glycemic Control as Indicated by Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) [Baseline, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, 15 months]
as measured by Hemoglobin A1c (%) with higher values indicating worse glycemic control and an improvement of 0.5% considered clinically meaningful
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Change in Self-reported Medication Adherence [Baseline, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, 15 months]
as measured by the Summary of Diabetes Self-Care Activities (SDSCA) Medications subscale; response options are days in the last week ranging from 0 to 7, with 7 representing perfect adherence
- Change in Self-reported Medication Adherence [Baseline, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, 15 months]
as measured by the Adherence to Refills and Medications Scale for Diabetes (ARMS-D); reverse coded such that higher scores indicate better adherence on a scale from 11 to 44
Other Outcome Measures
- Change in Adherence to Dietary Behavior [Baseline, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, 15 months]
as measured by the Personal Diabetes Questionnaire diet subscale "Use of information for decision making"; possible range 1-6, higher indicates more use of dietary information (better)
- Change in Adherence to Dietary Behavior [Baseline, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, 15 months]
Personal Diabetes Questionnaire diet subscale "Problem eating behavior"; possible range 1-6 with higher indicating more problem eating behavior (worse)
- Change in Physical Activity [Baseline, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, 15 months]
as measured by International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short form [metabolic equivalent minutes (MET-minutes) per week] where more MET-minutes per week indicates more physical activity
- Change in Glycemic Control - REACH Only vs. Control & REACH+FAMS vs. Control [Baseline, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, 15 months]
as measured by hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c, %) We may be under-powered to for these comparative analyses.

Statistical Analysis 1
Statistical Analysis Overview | Comparison Group Selection | REACH, Helpline and A1c Results |
---|---|---|
Comments | Any REACH vs. Helpline and A1c results. We used generalized estimating equations (GEE) with a working-exchangeable correlation structure and identity link, adjusting for baseline and allowing a time-treatment interaction. For the HbA1c model, we allowed for a three-way interaction between time, treatment group, and baseline HbA1c because there was descriptive evidence that the effect was modified by baseline HbA1c values. Multiply imputed data (m=1,000) using chained equations. | |
Type of Statistical Test | Superiority | |
Comments | We performed an omnibus test of the treatment effect at 3 and 6 months using a robust variance-covariance based Wald statistic. We used ordinary least squares linear regression with Huber-White heteroscedasticity-consistent standard errors to obtain point estimates and 95% CIs for the intervention effect at each time. | |
