Program ACTIVE: Phase 2

Summary

The present study seeks to tailor the original Program ACTIVE (Adults Coming Together to Increase Vital Exercise) to meet the cultural norms and needs of adult Black men with comorbid Type 2 diabetes and depression by using focus groups comprised of Black men with Type 2 diabetes. The use of peer perspectives allows for an improved strategy to reach, retain, and improve outcomes in this population.

Following the tailoring of program materials, the intervention (Program ACTIVE) will be facilitated with Black men with comorbid Type 2 diabetes and depression using evidence-based cognitive behavioral therapy and community-based exercise interventions.

Conditions

• Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2
• Depression

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Community-Based Exercise

Participants will complete 150 minutes of exercise per week for 12 weeks. Exercise per week will be documented using exercise logs. The exercise protocol will be a culturally-tailored community-based exercise intervention based on the aerobic exercise goals used in the Program ACTIVE study and psychoeducational materials adapted from Program ACTIVE based on feedback from Black men with T2D. Exercise in Program ACTIVE will be obtained through individualized community-based activities that participants in the focus groups indicate as feasible rather than the highly controlled laboratory environment. Exercise goals will be adapted to accommodate the physical and medical restrictions of an older-adult diabetes population.

BEHAVIORAL

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

Participants will receive 10 sessions of CBT using a manualized approach based on Beck's model of cognitive therapy. Sessions are to be completed once weekly in conjunction with weekly exercise. The Program ACTIVE CBT intervention includes: presentation of CBT model; thought records, cognitive distortions, counterarguments, cognitive reframing, automatic thoughts, core beliefs, and relapse prevention. Session goals will be tailored to the needs of men so that the order of topics may vary. Each session will begin with the designation of session goals, review of previously assigned homework, and introduction of new concepts and skills. Individually-tailored homework assignments designed to provide practice with the concepts/skills of the session will be assigned.
