Design and methods of NYC care calls: An effectiveness trial of telephone-delivered type 2 diabetes self-management support

Although problems with type 2 diabetes (T2D) self-management and treatment adherence often co-occur with emotional distress, few translatable intervention approaches are available that can target these related problems in primary care practice settings. The New York City (NYC) Care Calls study is a randomized controlled trial that tests the effectiveness of structured support for diabetes self-management and distress management, delivered via telephone by health educators, in improving glycemic control, self-management and emotional well-being among predominantly ethnic minority and socioeconomically disadvantaged adults with suboptimally controlled T2D.
