Study protocol for exploring diabetes numeracy and health literacy across Europe (EDUCATE): A multicentre cross-sectional study
Aims
Effective diabetes self-management increasingly depends on the interplay between health literacy, numeracy and digital health literacy, given the growing integration of advanced digital tools into diabetes care routines. Little is known about the current state of these skills among people with insulin-treated diabetes. Therefore, this study aims to assess (digital) health literacy and numeracy in people with diabetes on intensive insulin therapy and to explore their associations with glycaemic control, health behaviours, clinical outcomes and patient-reported outcomes.
Methods
The Exploring Diabetes Health Literacy and Numeracy across Europe (EDUCATE) study is a multicentre cross-sectional study aiming to recruit 209 adults with type 1, type 2, or pancreatogenic diabetes on intensive insulin therapy in four European outpatient clinics. Participants will be asked to complete questionnaires, record their dietary patterns, and wear both a physical activity tracker and a blinded continuous glucose monitor for two weeks. The primary outcome is health literacy, assessed using the validated Health Literacy questionnaire. Secondary outcomes include numeracy, digital health literacy, glycaemic outcomes, health behaviour (e.g., diet and physical activity), and patient-reported-outcomes (e.g., quality-of-life and diabetes distress).
Results
Findings will be diseminated through peer-reviewed scientific journals, and academic conferences or media outlets to inform the wider public.
Conclusion
EDUCATE will assess digital health literacy and numeracy in people with diabetes on intensive insulin regimens across four European countries. A deeper understanding of the current landscape of health literacy and its association with glycaemic outcomes may support the development of targeted interventions. These interventions are aimed at empowering people with diabetes and reducing socio-economic and cultural health disparities.
期刊介绍：
Diabetic Medicine, the official journal of Diabetes UK, is published monthly simultaneously, in print and online editions.
The journal publishes a range of key information on all clinical aspects of diabetes mellitus, ranging from human genetic studies through clinical physiology and trials to diabetes epidemiology. We do not publish original animal or cell culture studies unless they are part of a study of clinical diabetes involving humans. Categories of publication include research articles, reviews, editorials, commentaries, and correspondence. All material is peer-reviewed.
We aim to disseminate knowledge about diabetes research with the goal of improving the management of people with diabetes. The journal therefore seeks to provide a forum for the exchange of ideas between clinicians and researchers worldwide. Topics covered are of importance to all healthcare professionals working with people with diabetes, whether in primary care or specialist services.
Surplus generated from the sale of Diabetic Medicine is used by Diabetes UK to know diabetes better and fight diabetes more effectively on behalf of all people affected by and at risk of diabetes as well as their families and carers.”
