No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Investigators are conducting a randomized controlled trial to determine whether an online team-based spaced education (SE) game can improve HbA1c levels among these patients with diabetes (primary aim). Secondary aims include determining the impact of the game on patients' pill possession ratio (PPR) of oral DM meds and their microalbumin/creatinine (M/C) ratio, ACE PPR, and ARB PPR.

BEHAVIORAL

SE Game on DSME

Investigators created an online educational game by incorporating game mechanics into an evidence-based form of online education, termed 'spaced education' (SE). Based upon two psychology research findings (the spacing and testing effects), SE has been shown in randomized trials to improves knowledge acquisition, boosts learning retention for up to two years, and durably improves clinical behavior.
