Summary

This pilot study tested a web-based version of the DECIDE program, called eDECIDE, which teaches problem-solving skills to help African Americans manage type 2 diabetes. The study involved 36 participants and compared the online program to the traditional in-person group sessions over 18 weeks. The main goal was to see if the web-based approach could help lower blood sugar levels (HbA1c) by at least 0.5%.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: eDECIDE web-based problem-solving self-management program
What this could lead to: If it works, this could provide an effective online tool to help African Americans with type 2 diabetes better manage their condition and improve blood sugar levels.
What could go wrong: This is a very small pilot study (36 participants) with no phase designation, so results may not apply broadly. The web-based version is still being developed and tested.
