NCT ID NCT07674628
First seen Jun 29, 2026 · Last updated Jul 29, 2026 · Updated 5 times
Summary
This study tests a 10-week virtual program called Acceptance Based Coping (ABaCo) for Hispanic/Latinx military patients with type 2 diabetes. The program, delivered by a bilingual health coach, teaches skills to cope with diabetes-related stress and improve self-care. Researchers will compare blood sugar control, quality of life, and diabetes distress between those who receive ABaCo and those who get usual care over 6 months.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Acceptance Based Coping (ABaCo) skills program
- What this could lead to
- If effective, this program could provide a culturally tailored, accessible way to help Hispanic/Latinx military patients better manage diabetes and reduce related distress.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study (100 participants) testing a behavioral intervention, so results may not apply broadly. The program requires active participation and may not work for everyone.
