Study protocol: Apps and peer support for a healthy future and living well with diabetes (APHLID-M)
Background
Mental health conditions are common among non-pregnant young people with any form of diabetes, affecting diabetes self-management and increasing complications risk. Limited evidence exists on whether smartphone applications “apps” combining diabetes and mental health (MH) support can improve self-management and MH in these young people. The Apps and Peer support for a Healthy future and Living Well with Diabetes (APHLID-M) multicentre study includes two randomised controlled trials (RCTs) testing such an app, aimed at reducing distress among young adults with diabetes with and without a mental health condition (MHC).
Methods and analysis
An app containing diabetes and MH resources was configured onto a pre-existing, digital health platform. Young adults aged 16–30 years with diabetes will be recruited from eight Australian outpatient clinics, screened using the Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K10) and the Problem Areas in Diabetes (PAID) questionnaires. Based on MH status, participants will be allocated to the primary RCT (MHC group) or a nested-exploratory RCT (No-MHC group) and randomised by site to the “app” (Intervention) or “no app” (control). All participants will have access to peer support and will continue to receive standard diabetes care through their clinic. Recruitment will end once 142 participants are enrolled in the primary RCT. The primary outcome is change in psychological distress (K10), and the secondary outcome change in HbA1c, assessed at baseline and 6 months.
Discussion
APHLID-M will offer valuable insights into effects of digital technology in enhancing MH (particularly distress) physical health and well-being in young people with diabetes.
期刊介绍:
Contemporary Clinical Trials Communications is an international peer reviewed open access journal that publishes articles pertaining to all aspects of clinical trials, including, but not limited to, design, conduct, analysis, regulation and ethics. Manuscripts submitted should appeal to a readership drawn from a wide range of disciplines including medicine, life science, pharmaceutical science, biostatistics, epidemiology, computer science, management science, behavioral science, and bioethics. Contemporary Clinical Trials Communications is unique in that it is outside the confines of disease specifications, and it strives to increase the transparency of medical research and reduce publication bias by publishing scientifically valid original research findings irrespective of their perceived importance, significance or impact. Both randomized and non-randomized trials are within the scope of the Journal. Some common topics include trial design rationale and methods, operational methodologies and challenges, and positive and negative trial results. In addition to original research, the Journal also welcomes other types of communications including, but are not limited to, methodology reviews, perspectives and discussions. Through timely dissemination of advances in clinical trials, the goal of Contemporary Clinical Trials Communications is to serve as a platform to enhance the communication and collaboration within the global clinical trials community that ultimately advances this field of research for the benefit of patients.
