Study: NCT05203575

Intervention type: BEHAVIORAL
Group type: EXPERIMENTAL
Intervention: Goal-Setting plus Weekly Nudge in Cycle 1
Description: The procedure for goal-setting will start with the participant receiving a list of possible goals. The moderator will go through the list with the participant to identify which goals the participant is comfortable with and could reasonably achieve, and to tick off those goals that the participant has already achieved. The participants will choose their own goals. In each subsequent week, the moderator will check-in with the participant and tick off the goal(s) that have been achieved.~Chat groups of 10-15 people will be formed to administer the weekly nudge. The participants will be encouraged to introduce themselves and to interact with each other during each the chat session. Every week for the following 14 weeks, the moderator will post diabetes-related content on the WhatsApp chat group and introduce topics of interest according to a planned schedule.~This intervention takes place during Cycle 1 (first 14 weeks).

Group type: EXPERIMENTAL
Intervention: Fast-forwarding in Cycle 2
Description: The fast-forwarding intervention will consist of a projection of future risk of co-morbidities. A visual projection model will be built using archival data available through the Singapore Diabetes Registry. The projection model will use the current profile of the participant to calculate a risk profile for the participant's potential complications and co-morbidities, which will be presented as a pie chart. The tool will also present alternative scenarios to the participant and visualize how the likelihood of complications or co-morbidities would decrease or increases if his/her habits changed. This will provide the motivational aspect of the intervention.~This intervention takes place during Cycle 2 (second 14 weeks).
