Summary

The objective of this protocol is to answer the questions: 1) Are financial incentives layered upon nurse education and home telemonitoring superior to nurse education and home telemonitoring alone in improving metabolic control long term? 2) Are the effects of financial incentives on metabolic control sustained once the incentives are withdrawn? and 3) Are financial incentives efficacious within and consistent across racial/ethnic groups? This study provides a unique opportunity to address these gaps in the literature. Investigators propose a randomized controlled trial to test the efficacy of a Financial Incentives And Nurse Coaching to Enhance Diabetes Outcomes (FINANCE-DM) intervention comprised of: 1) nurse education, 2) home telemonitoring, and 3) structured financial incentives; compared to an active control group (nurse education and home telemonitoring alone). The study also will evaluate whether intervention effects are sustained 6 months after the financial incentives are withdrawn (i.e. 18 months post randomization); and whether the intervention is differentially efficacious across racial/ethnic groups.

Conditions

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

FINANCE-DM

The FINANCE-DM intervention is comprised of: 1) nurse education, 2) home telemonitoring, and 3) structured financial incentives. Patients randomized to FINANCE-DM will be assigned the FORA 2-in-1 Telehealth System and provided glucose test strips to allow testing at least once a day. BG and BP will be measured daily and results will be uploaded to a secure server. A nurse educator will review the glucose and BP readings and use them to tailor and reinforce behavior change during weekly telephone-delivered diabetes education and skills training session. Participants will also receive financial rewards for: 1) uploading glucose measurements; 2) participating in telephone delivered educational sessions; and 3) absolute percentage drops in HbA1c from baseline at each 3-month follow-up intervals.

BEHAVIORAL

Active Comparator

Patients randomized to the active comparator group will be assigned the FORA 2-in-1 Telehealth System and provided glucose test strips to allow testing at least once a day. BG and BP will be measured daily and results will be uploaded to a secure server. A nurse educator will review the glucose and BP readings and use them to tailor and reinforce behavior change during weekly telephone-delivered diabetes education and skills training session.
