What this trial measures

  • Recruitment rateBaseline

    Recruitment rate will be calculated as \[number of participants assenting\] divided by \[number who were invited\]

  • Fidelity to BGM (blood glucose monitoring) partnered with fish feeding3 months

    Fidelity to BGM partnered with fish feeding will be assessed by calculating the percentage of BG checks that were partnered with fish feeding.

  • Fidelity to weekly reviews partnered with fish tank maintenance3 months

    Fidelity to weekly reviews partnered with fish tank maintenance will be assessed by calculating the percentage of BG (blood glucose) reviews that were partnered with tank maintenance. The research team will review the data uploads on a weekly basis.

  • Retention rate3 months

    Retention rate will be calculated as \[number of participants who continue fish care tasks\] divided by \[number who were eligible upon completion of the baseline assessment\].
