| Status | Complete |
| Period | 8/2000 - 3/2007 |
| Role | Co-Investigator |
| Grant Detail | This longitudinal, follow-up study of elderly Mexican Americans and European Americans is designed to: 1) define optimal targets for intervention in the main disease-to-disability pathways of diabetes and arthritis; 2) determine whether psychosocial and lifestyle factors alter the main pathways of these diseases; and 3) determine whether, regardless of disease, psychosocial and lifestyle factors influence successive stages in the main disease-to-disability pathway, suggesting that these factors themselves are promising targets for function enhancing interventions.

| Title | Improving Risk Factors for Diabetes Complications in Primary Care |
| Status | Active |
| Period | 5/2007 - 4/2012 |
| Role | Co-Investigator |
| Grant Detail | Current control of hemoglobin A1c, blood pressure and lipids among patients with type 2 diabetes in primary care settings is not adequate to prevent complications. The purpose of this study is to use a Practice Facilitation intervention in a group randomized controlled trial to improve these risk factors among patients with type 2 diabetes seen in primary care practices. The intervention is based on complex adaptive system theory and will use the Chronic Illness Care model to support the selection, tailoring, and implementation of one of 5 evidence-based strategies to improve risk factors in each intervention practice. Forty practices/clinics across South Central Texas will be enrolled. |
