Participant milestones
Measure
REACH + FAMS
Participants will receive FAMS components (monthly phone coaching and text messages supporting a goal set in coaching, plus the option to invite a family member/support person to receive text messages) for six months. All participants will receive text messages advising how to access their study A1c test results, quarterly newsletters on healthy living with diabetes, and have access to a Helpline for study- and diabetes medication-related questions. REACH + FAMS: The intervention consists of REACH individual-focused text messaging, plus family-focused phone coaching sessions, goal-focused text messaging, and the option to invite a family member/support person to receive text messages.
REACH
Participants will receive REACH text messages (individual-focused text messaging tailored to user's individual barriers to adherence, messages assessing medication adherence with feedback, and targeted to address other self-care behaviors). All participants will receive text messages advising how to access their study A1c test results, quarterly newsletters on healthy living with diabetes, and have access to a Helpline for study- and diabetes medication-related questions. REACH: The intervention consists of daily text messaging tailored to user's individual barriers to medication adherence, plus text messaging targeting other self-care behaviors (see NCT02409329). Helpline \& A1c results: Participants complete all study assessments, receive text messages advising how to access study A1c results, and have access to a helpline for study- or diabetes medication-related questions.
Helpline & A1c Results
Participants assigned to the control group will complete measures at each time point and maintain care as usual (i.e., medical treatment and physician monitoring). All participants will receive text messages advising how to access their study A1c test results, quarterly newsletters on healthy living with diabetes, and have access to a Helpline for study- and diabetes medication-related questions. Helpline \& A1c results: Participants complete all study assessments, receive text messages advising how to access study A1c results, and have access to a helpline for study- or diabetes medication-related questions.
