| Learning Objective #1: describe the effect of communication between the provider and patient, patient satisfaction with treatment, and attitudes toward diabetes treatment regimens on glycemic control. | |||

Analysis: Subject recruitment and data collection ends on December 18, 2005. Analysis of data will be completed by March 31, 2006. Plans for data analysis include regression to test the ability of the three independent variables, individually and together, to predict glycemic control; multiple regression to test the mediator effect of adherence between communication self-efficacy, satisfaction with health care provider, and satisfaction with treatment plan and glycemic control; and T-tests to determine whether there are gender differences in patient-provider communication, adherence to treatment, and glycemic control. Significance: Understanding the effect patient-provider communication on glycemic control, will allow educators and providers to address concerns of the diabetic patient and develop treatment plans accordingly.
