Abstract

"Community approaches to diabetes management are gaining empirical evidence for improving health outcomes (1,2). The Patient Activation Measure (PAM) has been utilized for predicting health outcomes. Individuals with higher levels of patient activation are more likely to have lower health care costs and obtain recommended diabetes preventive services (3). The purpose of this secondary data analysis was to explore the relationships between PAM scores, use of health services and HgA1C from a community-based intervention feasibility study for high-risk, rural dwelling adults with diabetes."--Introduction.
