Tailored Approaches to Reduce Distress and Improve Self-Management for Veterans With Diabetes
NCT04587336 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
Veterans with diabetes may become overwhelmed with the self-management behaviors needed to maintain optimal health. Veterans may experience diabetes distress (DD), a concept distinct from depression, due the amount and frequency of these behaviors. DD negatively influences the Veteran's engagement in self-management and subsequent HbA1c levels. Previous interventions do not tailor T2D self-management information to a Veteran's DD, which may be one reason interventions are ineffective at reducing DD. This proposal examines the impact of correlating factors (e.g., sociodemographic, psychosocial, and environmental) on DD using surveys and semi-structured interviews. This proposal will prepare Allison Lewinski, PhD, MPH, RN for a career as a scientist at VHA focused on developing methods to improve health outcomes among Veterans.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT04587336
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT04587336 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as an unspecified phase, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 225 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is VA Office of Research and Development, which has 1,863 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 4 conditions, with Diabetes appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 3 interventions — of which Qualitative Interviews is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT04587336 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include North Carolina. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
