Family Model Diabetes Self-Management Education in Faith Based Organizations
Family Model Diabetes Self-Management Education in Faith Based Organizations
This study's objective is to conduct a cluster randomized control study that evaluates the
 effectiveness of F-DSME (Family Model Diabetes Self-Management Education) when delivered in a
 group setting in Faith Based Organizations (FBO). The F-DSME has shown to be effective when
 delivered in patients' homes, and the proposed research will allow us to determine the
 F-DSME's effectiveness in a FBO setting.
