{ "LUNA-E: Improving Diabetes Care for Latino Adults", "This study, called LUNA-E, is looking for Latino adults with Type 2 Diabetes to test different ways to improve blood sugar control (measured by Hemoglobin A1C or HbA1c) and reduce feelings of stress or worry. You would receive care coordination, behavioral health support, health education videos, or virtual team visits. To join, you need to be 18 or older, identify as Hispanic/Latino, be a patient at a federally qualified health center, and have an HbA1c above 7.5% in the last 90 days. The study aims to see if these interventions can help manage diabetes better and improve your well-being over 6 months.", "design": "This is an interventional study planning to enroll 400 participants. It is a randomized controlled trial, meaning participants will be assigned to different intervention groups by chance.", "commitments": "Participants will have 6 or more 30-minute sessions with a care coordinator or behavioral health provider, access to 8 video sessions, and/or two virtual integrated visits. Biological measurements will be taken at baseline, 3, 6, and 12 months.", "compensation": "Not stated in the trial record.", "follow_up": "Participants will be followed for changes in blood sugar and psychological distress for 6 months after randomization. Biological measurements will continue for 12 months.", }

What this trial measures
- Hemoglobin A1C (HbA1c) Blood Value6-months post randomization
Change glycemic control among Latino patients with type 2 diabetes through an innovative patient centered, team-based, highly integrated primary care intervention (LUNA-E).
- Psychological Distress - Depression6-months post randomization
Change psychological distress (depression symptoms) among Latino patients with type 2 diabetes via the LUNA-E intervention. The Personal Health Questionnaire-8 (PHQ-8) will be used to assess depression symptomatology. Response options range from not at all (0) to nearly every day (3). Item scores are summed (range 0-24) with higher scores indicating more severe depression symptoms.
- Psychological Distress - Anxiety6-months post randomization
Change psychological distress (anxiety symptoms) among Latino patients with type 2 diabetes via the LUNA-E intervention. The Generalized Anxiety Disorder Questionnaire (GAD-7) will be used to measure anxiety symptomatology. Response options range from not at all (0) to nearly every day (3). Item scores are summed (range 0-21) with higher scores indicating more severe anxiety symptoms.
