 The PWDs in the intervention group will receive training in action planning that is linked to their role self-identity. Role identity will be kept highly salient throughout the study by using identity primes that remind the individual that both processes diabetes self-care behaviors and goals achieving A1c targets are important responsibilities associated with that role. For example, participants may be asked to keep a picture or memento that reminds them of their role identity e.g., a picture of a child or a photo of a place she would like to visit on a blood sugar and physical activity log that the study will provide to the patient. The STMs in the intervention group will discuss these role identities and motivators with the PWD in their team intake session. They will also obtain similar training in action planning and in ways to support the PWD in order to better control her diabetes.
