Summary

This study tests a 6-week online group program designed to help African American women with type 2 diabetes reduce diabetes-related distress and improve blood sugar control. The program combines diabetes education, motivational interviewing, and cognitive behavioral therapy, delivered in a culturally adapted format. Researchers compare the online version to an in-person version and a waitlist group to see if it is acceptable, feasible, and effective.
