E-Health Literacy Intervention for Bangladeshi Migrants With Type 2 Diabetes in Italy
JACARDI: Intervention to Support E-health Literacy of People Belonging to the Bangladesh Ethnic Minority Affected by Diabetes Mellitus Type 2: an Italian Pilot Study
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 25 Aug 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
This study is testing a training program for people from the Bangladeshi community of Ancona in the Marche Region (Italy) who have type 2 diabetes. Many people in this group find it hard to understand health information, including how to use digital health tools. This is called low health literacy. Low health literacy can make it harder to manage diabetes well. The goal of this study is to find out if the training program improves health literacy and confidence in managing diabetes. About 50 adults with type 2 diabetes from the Bangladeshi community are taking part. They are followed by the diabetes clinic at the University Hospital of the Marche Region in Ancona. Before training started, patients, caregivers, and health workers helped design the program together. This made sure the training fit the community's needs and culture. Participants complete a training program with four short modules. The modules cover diabetes, health literacy, and digital skills for managing diabetes. Researchers measure health literacy, digital skills, and confidence in managing diabetes before training, right after training, and again after 1 month and 6 months. This shows whether the improvements last over time. This study is part of JACARDI, a European project working to reduce diabetes and heart disease across Europe.
