Food Delivery, Remote Monitoring, and Coaching-Enhanced Education for Optimized Diabetes Management (FREEDOM)
Abstract
Food Delivery, Remote Monitoring, and Coaching-Enhanced Education for Optimized Diabetes Management (FREEDOM) study is to develop an optimized, multilevel, and scalable intervention to improve type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) control in low-income Black adults in the Deep South by targeting relevant social determinants of health (SDoH) including reduced healthcare access, poverty, transportation barriers, and food insecurity. The FREEDOM study will enroll 304 Black adults with T2DM and T2DM-related cardiovascular disease (CVD) and chronic kidney disease (CKD), as they disproportionately burden Black Americans, through three health systems in Alabama and Mississippi. This project will be comprised of three intervention components: 1) digital health coaching, 2) food box delivery, and 3) remote patient monitoring (RPM).
