    Proposed Project: Families, Communities, and Diabetes Management 
Project--New--National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health 
Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
    Diabetes Mellitus Type 2 is a chronic metabolic disease with a 
potential for serious health consequences that include both 
psychological and physical conditions. Effective management of this 
disease is important to prevent the development of these problems. No 
previous studies have systematically examined the ways in which 
psychological functioning, patient-provider relationships, family and 
social support, health insurance availability and utilization, 
lifestyle practices, and community support influence diabetes self-
management among African American patients. Most diabetes management 
information is based on research conducted primarily with White 
patients. Accordingly, the Division of Diabetes Translation within the 
National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion of 
the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention plans to conduct a 
longitudinal, family-centered research project to determine optimal 
ways of teaching African American patients and their families how to 
work together to manage diabetes successfully.
    The research will involve samples of 40- to 64-year-old African 
American men and women with Type 2 diabetes and their close family 
members. Participating families will be divided into two groups, an 
intervention group that will receive the intervention at the beginning 
of the study, and a comparison group that will receive a modified 
version at the end. Measurements of self-care adherence and diabetes 
control will include both self-reports and objective measures such as 
blood glucose levels obtained through clinical lab work. Other data 
will include diabetes knowledge, community characteristics, social 
support, community support, psychological functioning, patient-provider 
relationships, and health care coverage. Participant involvement will 
occur over 13 month period. The estimated cost to respondents is 
$213,236.
