8-item self-assessment of participants' confidence level in performing specific self-management behaviors. Items are ranked on a 10-point Likert scale ranging from 1 (not at all confident) to 10 (totally confident). The total score can be calculated by summing the 8 item scores (range, 8-80), with higher scores indicating greater self-efficacy.

Self-assessment providing an estimate of the number of minutes per week participants engage in three categories of physical activity: vigorous activity, moderate activity, and walking activity. Results are expressed in metabolic equivalent (MET) minutes per week. MET minutes represent the amount of energy expended carrying out physical activity. The formula for calculating MET is as follows: 8(vigorous activity)(minutes) + 4 (moderate activity)(minutes) +3.3 (walking activity) (minutes) = MET.

Higher MET scores indicate higher weekly levels of physical activity.

ARMS-D is an 11-item questionnaire used to assess medication-taking adherence at baseline, 6 months, and 12 months. Responses range from 1 ("none of the time") to 4 ("all of the time"). Item scores are summed to produce an overall adherence score ranging from 11 to 44, with higher scores indicating more problems with medication adherence.

Diabetes-related distress will be assessed using the 2-item Diabetes Distress Screening Scale (DDS-2), a validated screening instrument that measures the emotional burden and stress associated with living with diabetes. Each item is rated on a 6-point Likert scale (1 = "Not a problem" to 6 = "A very serious problem"). The overall score is calculated as the mean of the two items, with higher scores indicating greater diabetes-related distress.

The 14-item SDOH questionnaire assessed core health-related barriers across five domains: economic stability (e.g., food access and housing stability), education access and quality (e.g., need to improve English proficiency, reading skills, or educational attainment), health care access and quality (e.g., insurance coverage), neighborhood and built environment (e.g., housing conditions), and social and community context (e.g., racial discrimination; need for childcare; and need for assistance addressing tobacco, alcohol, or drug use). Items used dichotomous response options (1 = "Yes"; 0 = "No"). An overall SDOH score was calculated by summing responses across the 14 items (range: 0-14), with higher scores indicating greater SDOH-related barriers.

Health-related social needs (HRSNs) will be assessed using the 26-item The Accountable Health Communities Health-Related Social Needs Screening Tool. The instrument assesses unmet health-related social needs across 13 domains, including housing instability, food insecurity, transportation needs, utility assistance needs, interpersonal safety, financial strain, employment, family and community support, education, physical activity, substance use, mental health, and disability. These domains identify social needs that may be addressed through clinical and community-based services. Each domain includes its own set of indicators. Descriptive statistics will be used to summarize the data, with frequencies and percentages reported for categorical variables. For domains with continuous or summed measures, composite scores will be calculated by summing the relevant items, with higher scores indicating greater unmet health-related social needs.

Cognitive function will be assessed using the Mini-Montreal Cognitive Assessment (Mini-MoCA), a validated 15-point screening instrument for the rapid detection of mild cognitive impairment. Total scores range from 0 to 15, with higher scores indicating better cognitive function. A score below 11 may indicate cognitive impairment and warrant further evaluation.
