Purpose This study developed and tested a culturally appropriate, church-based intervention to improve diabetes self-management. Research Design and Methods This was a randomized trial conducted at 24 African American churches in central North Carolina. Churches were randomized to receive the special intervention (SI; 13 churches, 117 participants) or the minimal intervention (MI; 11 churches, 84 participants). The SI included an 8-month intensive phase, consisting of 1 individual counseling visit, 12 group sessions, monthly phone contacts, and 3 encouragement postcards, followed by a 4-month reinforcement phase including monthly phone contacts. The MI received standard educational pamphlets by mail. Outcomes were assessed at 8 and 12 months; the primary outcome was comparison of 8-month A1C levels. Results At baseline, the mean age was 59 years, A1C 7.8%, and body mass index 35.0 kg/m2; 64% of participants were female. For the 174 (87%) participants returning for 8-month measures, mean A1C (adjusted for baseline and group randomization) was 7.4% for SI and 7.8% for MI, with a difference of 0.4% (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.1-0.6, P = .009). In a larger model adjusting for additional variables, the difference was 0.5% (95% CI, 0.2-0.7, P < .001). At 12 months, the difference between groups was not significant. Diabetes knowledge and diabetes-related quality of life significantly improved in the SI group compared with the MI group. Among SI participants completing an acceptability questionnaire, intervention components and materials were rated as highly acceptable. Conclusions The church-based intervention was well received by participants and improved short-term metabolic control.

Effective Interventions

Introduction: Prevalence rates of hypertension (HTN) among Black adults (males 58.3% and females 57.6%) in the United States is among the highest in the world. Black females (46%) experience a higher incidence of Stage 2 HTN than Black males (42%) contributing to a greater risk of heart failure, stroke, and kidney disease. Levels of awareness, treatment, and control of HTN among Black women are decreasing. Effective strategies to combat these trends are imperative. Lifestyle changes and medication adherence are proven strategies to facilitate blood pressure (BP) control. Getting individuals with HTN to incorporate these strategies into the context of their everyday physical and social environments where they can be performed independently requires active individual engagement in healthcare behaviors and self-care activities. Aim: This study examined the effects of the Chronic Disease Self-Management Program (CDSMP) on self-care (maintenance, management, and confidence) and BP control in Black women with HTN at baseline and then 3-, 6-, and 9-months post CDSMP. Methods: The current study used data from the Interactive Technology Enhanced Coaching Intervention RCT for Black Women with HTN study. All participants completed a 6-week CDSMP at the beginning of the study. Self-care data were collected using the Self-Care of HTN Inventory along with manual BP readings at baseline, and repeated measures at 3-, 6-, and 9-months. Results: Of the 90 community-dwelling Black women enrolled in the study, 83 completed the CDSMP and 69 completed the study. The mean age was 53.57 ( SD = 10.07) years and the average number of years diagnosed with HTN was 11.06 ( SD = 8.47). All participants had BP readings greater than 130/80 mmHg at baseline and 44.92% (31 of 69) moved to less than 130/80 mmHg at 9-months. A weak negative correlation occurred at 9-months between systolic BP and self-care management, r (67) = -.26, p = .029, and confidence, r (67) = -.25, p = .035; and diastolic BP and self-care management, r (67) = -.31, p = .009, and confidence, r (67) = -.28, p = .018. Conclusion: The CDSMP was feasible, successfully delivered, and well-received by those enrolled in the study. Future studies should evaluate effective interventions for self-care strategies to improve long-term BP control.
