Dulce Digital-Project Dulce 2.0 Texting Study in High Risk Latinos With Diabetes
Randomized controlled trial testing the efficacy of a text messaging intervention in a low
income, low health literacy group of Latino patients. Project Dulce 2.0 (PD 2.0) will
address barriers to participation in health education classes, increasing adherence to
treatment and medications and improving diabetes self management behaviors and skills. Two
community clinic organizations that provide services to a large proportion of Latino
patients with type 2 diabetes will participate to randomize 200 patients into one of 2 arms:
standard diabetes management care (control) only or text messaging and standard care.
Comparisons between groups will evaluate clinical, behavioral and psychosocial outcomes.
Intervention: Standard Care and Text Messaging. All participants will receive standard
diabetes care provided by primary care providers at the clinic. Of the 100 that are
randomized to the intervention arm will be given instructions on how the text messaging
component will be addressed throughout the duration of the study.
