Improving the Diabetic Health of Black Men: MANUP Feasibility Trial
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2, Coping Behavior, Self Efficacy, Masculinity
In brief
Many Black Americans continue to be suffer from diabetes especially Black men. Although previous diabetes efforts have reduced overall disease burden, they have failed to eliminate racial and geographic disparities. The story of John Henry, the "steel-drivin' man" represents strength and self-determination among Black Men. But often these traits lead men to "manup" about their health and prevents them from taking care of their diabetes. This study examines how we can assist Black men in improving their diabetes. Based on the traits of John Henry, we will conduct a culturally-tailored study to 1) determine if our education program including coping strategies and motivation text messages lowers A1c; and, 2) how program operates in a rural setting while learning how we can best improve it for a larger study. We hope to have the information to conduct a larger study with Black men in rural areas to improve their diabetes outcomes.
