The purpose of this project is two-fold: (1) to determine the feasibility of recruiting
rural African American (AA) adults in South Carolina (SC) for assessing the usefulness of
tablet-based resources in good diabetes self-management behaviors, and (2) to test a
tablet-aided intervention for improving diabetes self-management behaviors

The proposed study will assess the feasibility of recruitment of African American adults
residing in rural South Carolina who will assist with improving the usability of tablet
computers. In addition, we will implement a pilot trial of the TABLETS (Tablet-Aided
BehavioraL intervention Effect on Self-management skills) intervention for diabetes, using
motivational strategies, among rural African Americans. The proposed project is designed to
address 3 important issues: recruitment for a hard-to-reach population, utility of
technology-enabled intervention, and development of a tablet-aided intervention tailored to
understand best practices for diabetes self-management
