Lessons learned in recruiting and retaining Black men in behavioral diabetes intervention research.
Article in Contemporary clinical trials communications, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Black men experience disproportionately high rates of type 2 diabetes (T2D) and its complications, yet remain underrepresented in diabetes intervention research. Culturally tailored, community-based interventions that prioritize trust and address structural barriers are essential for improving recruitment and retention in this population. This article provides insights from the Michigan Men's Diabetes (MenD I and II) Projects, a peer-led diabetes self-management intervention tailored to Black men with T2D. MenD I and MenD II used Diabetes Self-Management Education (DSME) and Peer-Led Diabetes Self-Management Support (PLDSMS) sessions delivered virtually to meet participants' needs. Recruitment efforts engaged trusted community organizations, healthcare providers, and targeted outreach. Retention strategies emphasized trust-building, flexible scheduling, and culturally resonant support mechanisms, such as fostering a sense of community, providing personalized check-ins, and incorporating time for informal interactions and relationship-building. Data collected from pre- and post-intervention assessments and participant feedback illustrate the effectiveness of these approaches in addressing barriers and sustaining engagement. Despite challenges like medical mistrust, systemic inequities, and competing responsibilities, the MenD studies demonstrate that well-designed peer-led interventions can effectively engage Black men. These findings highlight the importance of culturally tailored adaptations and strong community partnerships in overcoming barriers to participation. Insights from MenD I and II offer valuable guidance for reducing health disparities and improving diabetes outcomes for Black men.
