The Michigan men's diabetes project: perspectives on a peer-led diabetes self-management and support intervention for Black men with type 2 diabetes.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Black men are more likely to be diagnosed with type 2 diabetes (T2D) compared to non-Hispanic White men, especially those over 55 years of age. Although there is ample evidence around the efficacy of peer-led diabetes self-management and support (PLDSMS) programs in improving diabetes health outcomes, Black men living with T2D experience several barriers to meaningful participation in peer-led programs and program developers face barriers to implementation. This qualitative study aimed to identify perspectives from collaborators on barriers and facilitators that impact the implementation of a PLDSMS intervention for older Black men with T2D.

Methods

Qualitative data were collected as part of the Michigan Men's Diabetes Project. We used the Tailored Implementation
