Study summary

A multicomponent implementation strategy bundle designed to improve Diabetes Self-Management Education and Support (DSMES) referral and utilization in rural primary care clinics. The initial bundle includes: (1) establishing electronic health record (EHR) referral systems, (2) creating patient face sheets for providers, (3) discussing DSMES referrals during clinician and staff implementation team meetings, and (4) developing DSMES-specific marketing materials and promotional activities.

Read the detailed description

This is a hybrid type 3 effectiveness-implementation trial involving primary care clinics among four healthcare systems in Kentucky. Cluster randomization of clinics (and the patients therein) will be stratified by healthcare system such that 2 clinics will be randomized to the intervention arm, and 2 clinics will be assigned to the control arm; across 4 health care systems, this will result in 8 clinics per study arm for a total of 16 clinics. Clinics randomized to intervention will implement an optimized multicomponent implementation strategy (MCIS) bundle (8 clinics) or standard of care (8 clinics) and implementation outcomes will be evaluated. The MCIS bundle is designed to improve Diabetes Self-Management Education and Support (DSMES) referral and utilization in rural primary care clinics in Kentucky and the initial bundle includes: (1) establishing electronic health record (EHR) referral systems, (2) creating patient face sheets for providers, (3) discussing DSMES referrals during clinician and staff implementation team meetings, and (4) developing DSMES-specific marketing materials and promotional activities. Primary implementation outcome is reach, as defined by proportion of eligible patients referred to DSMES. Secondary outcomes include provider-level adoption of learning collaborative activities, effectiveness (i.e., patient A1c, DSMES attendance), implementation (i.e., fidelity; perceived feasibility, acceptability, and appropriateness of implementation strategies; patient facilitators and barriers to DSMES attendance), and maintenance at 12-month follow-up. Following the trial, the cost-effectiveness of the optimized MCIS bundle will be determined.

Study arms

  • Experimental
    MCIS Bundle

    Rural primary care clinics randomized to the intervention group will receive the multicomponent implementation (MCIS) bundle designed to improve referral to and utilization of diabetes self-management education and support (DSMES).

    Behavioral: Multicomponent Implementation Strategy (MCIS) Bundle

  • Active comparator
    Standard of Care

    Rural primary care clinics randomized to the control group will continue standard of care without the implementation of the MCIS bundle.

    Other: Standard of Care

Interventions

  • BehavioralMulticomponent Implementation Strategy (MCIS) Bundle

    A multicomponent implementation strategy designed to improve DSMES referral and utilization in rural primary care clinics. Strategies include establishing EHR referral systems, creating patient face sheets for providers, discussing DSMES referrals during clinician and staff implementation team meetings, and developing DSMES-specific marketing materials and promotional activities.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Percentage of Eligible Patients Referred to DSMES

    Percentage of eligible patients with diabetes who receive a referral to diabetes self-management education and support (DSMES).

    Time frame: 9 Months After Initiation of Intervention

Secondary outcomes

  1. Change in Mean HbA1c for Patients with HbA1c >9%

    HbA1c control will be extracted from the electronic health record and assessed as change in mean HbA1c from baseline to the end of the intervention and at 1-month and 12-month follow-up, and change in the percentage of patients with HbA1c greater than 9%.

    Time frame: Baseline and monthly during active intervention through 12 month follow-up

  2. Percentage of Providers Referring Patients to DSMES

    Percentage of providers referring patients to DSMES, calculated as the number of providers referring patients to DSMES divided by the total number of providers at the clinic.

    Time frame: Baseline and monthly during active intervention through 12 month follow-up

  3. Change in DSMES Referral Rate During the 12-Month Sustainment Period

    Maintenance will be measured as the change in DSMES referral rate over the 12-month assessment period.

    Time frame: Monthly during the 12-month sustainment period

  4. Percentage of Patients Completing DSMES

    DSMES attendance will be extracted and reported by participating clinics. Attendance will be considered complete when a patient has attended 2 or more hours of DSMES, in alignment with state reporting.

    Time frame: Baseline and monthly during active intervention through 12 month follow-up

Timeline

1 registry update since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Start is estimated for Apr 2029; primary completion for Dec 2030, 20 months later.

Of 1,583 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Diabetes Mellitus, half reached primary completion within 23 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 10 and three quarters within 43. This study's planned 20 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 1,743 studies reached it within 21 months; a quarter within 9 and three quarters within 42.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
