Diabetes-specific family functioning typology associated with intervention engagement and effects: secondary analyses from a randomized controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Observationally, family and social support are important for optimal diabetes self-management; however, interventions targeting family/social support have not consistently been effective. A novel, diabetes-specific family functioning typology offers the opportunity to classify types of baseline family functioning to determine for whom family interventions may be effective.

Purpose

We examined the effects of an intervention by baseline type of family functioning post hoc, to inform differential benefit from interventions.

Methods

Participants were randomized to enhanced treatment as usual or a 9-month, mobile phone-delivered, family-focused, self-care support intervention. Adults with type 2 diabetes (N = 318) who participated in the randomized clinical tria
