Participant Flow

Overall, 36 participants were recruited over three different phases of the study. Phase 1: Task Analysis Study- a total of 4 participants were recruited in year one of the study. Phase 2: Usability Testing Study- a total of 11 participants were recruited in years 2-3 of the study. Phase 3: Pilot Clinical Trial of eDECIDE- a total of 21 participants were recruited in year 4 of the study. In Phase 1 \& 2, no arms were assigned.

For Phase 1 (Task Analysis Study) and Phase 2 (Usability Study), no assignment or arm was given. All participants completed study task. No baseline measures were collected as in phase 3, the pilot study. Phase 1: Task Analysis Study- a total of 4 participants were recruited Phase 2: Usability Testing Study- a total of 11 participants were recruited Phase 3: Pilot Clinical Trial of eDECIDE- a total of 21 participants were recruited. Total participants from phase 1 thru 3 is 36. Phase 3 =21.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Change in glycated hemoglobin (A1c) over time at baseline and 18-week post-intervention follow-up

Population: Only participants in Phase 3 (Randomized Pilot Clinical Trial) were assessed for primary clinical outcome of glycated hemoglobin. Primary clinical outcome on glycated hemoglobin among participants at baseline and 18-week follow-u. Randomized participants into the eDECIDE Intervention arm and the Traditional DECIDE arm at baseline. Only participants in phase 3 were again assessed for their health problem-solving skills and diabetes self-care at post-intervention follow-up.

The primary outcome of interest is HbA1c (glycated hemoglobin) measurement in the traditional DECIDE (control) group and eDECIDE (intervention) group. A .5% change in HbA1c has been considered clinically meaningful.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 18 weeks

Population: Participants were again assessed for their health problem-solving skills and diabetes self-care at baseline and post-intervention follow-up. Only participants in Phase 3 (Pilot Clinical Trial) were assessed on this secondary outcome measure.

Secondary outcomes on scores on the health problem-solving scale which looks at applying the process of recognizing and identifying problems, generating solutions, and making decisions to surmount specific barriers to completing self-management tasks and diabetes self-care behaviors (measuring) frequency and of self -management behaviors. The HPSS scale scores range from 4 (possible minimum score) to 28 (possible max score). Health Problem-Solving Scale (HPSS), higher scores indicate more effective problem-solving skill. There are seven subscales (Likert-scale is from zero to four and the mean scores from each subscale were summed and then an average was derived for the total score. Outcome measure data reflects the total problem solving score by arm at baseline and follow-up.

Population: Only participants in phase 3 (pilot clinical trial) were assessed for Diabetes Self -Care Behaviors

Secondary outcomes on scores on diabetes self-care behaviors specifically checking blood glucose level (blood sugar) away from clinic office. Count of participants who checked blood sugar levels daily (at least 5 or more days a week). Scale used, Diabetes Self-care behaviors- scale ask frequency of days.
