South Asians With Type 2 Diabetes at Risk for Depression
This study is looking at a special program for South Asian adults with Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) who might also be at risk for depression. The program, called CHW-led T2D Intervention, uses community health workers and includes mental health and digital tools. The goal is to see if this program can help improve blood sugar levels (HbA1c), reduce feelings of diabetes distress, and lessen symptoms of depression. You might be able to join if you are a South Asian adult between 18 and 75 years old, live in NYC, and have T2D. The study plans to enroll 100 people, but its current status is unclear.

What this trial measures
- Change in HbA1c LevelsBaseline, Month 3
Change in glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c).
- Change in Diabetes Distress Scale (DDS) ScoreBaseline, Month 3
The Diabetes Distress Scale (DDS) is a 17-item psychological questionnaire designed to assess the emotional and psychological distress experienced by individuals with diabetes. Each item is rated on a scale of 0 to 6. The total score is calculated by summing up the scores of all 17 items and ranges from 0-102; higher scores indicate greater distress.
- Change in Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) ScoreBaseline, Month 3
The PHQ-9 is a 9-item questionnaire to assess depressive symptoms. Each item is scored from 0 (not at all) to 3 (nearly every day). The total score ranges from 0 to 27. Higher scores indicate greater severity of depression.
