The Chinese American Research and Education (CARE) project examines the feasibility, acceptability, and potential efficacy of a social-media based intervention on glycemic control in Chinese Americans with type 2 diabetes. CARE is a 6-month pilot randomized controlled trial, with participants randomized to a wait-list control or the intervention. Intervention participants receive culturally and linguistically tailored diabetes self-management videos for 12 weeks, as well as biweekly phone calls from a community health worker related to diabetes self-management and goal achievement barriers. Main outcomes include HbA1c, self-efficacy, diabetes self-management behaviors, dietary intake, and physical activity.
