Bridging Gaps, Enhancing Wellbeing: Examining the Effectiveness of the Technology-Enabled Collaborative Care for Diabetes and Mental Health (TECC-DM) Model

Intervention Type: Behavioral, Other

Study Type: Interventional

Study Phase: Not Applicable

SUMMARY

Managing both type 2 diabetes and mental health challenges can be difficult, and many people do not receive care that supports both. This study looks at how virtual health coaching and support from interdisciplinary care teams can help people better manage their health. The purpose of this study is to test the effectiveness of a virtual health coaching program for adults living with type 2 diabetes and mental health challenges compared to usual care. The Technology-Enabled Collaborative Care for type 2 Diabetes and Mental health (TECC-DM) program includes weekly coaching calls, support from an interdisciplinary care team, and online tools to aid self-management. The findings from this study will be used to help improve services for people who have type 2 diabetes and co-occurring mental health symptoms.

Treatments

Experimental: TECC-DM model

Participants (n=80) are randomized to the TECC-DM arm, a 12-week, relation-driven and integrated model of care delivered virtually in addition to usual diabetes care. Weekly 1-hour sessions with a health coach are supported by guidance from an interdisciplinary virtual care team, using phone, text, Zoom, and REDCap. The program follows a structured protocol to ensure fidelity. TECC-DM is designed to improve quality of life (primary outcome) and goals of care (secondary outcomes: mental health, self-management, and physiological indicators).

Active_comparator: Educational emails

Participants (n=80) receive usual diabetes care, which may include primary or specialist care and community-based supports, with services documented to capture variation. In addition, participants receive 10 standardized educational emails over 12 weeks. This arm provides a structured, fidelity-monitored comparison to TECC-DM.
