AB  - BACKGROUND: The Happy Life Club is an intervention that utilises health coaches 
      trained in behavioural change and motivational interviewing techniques to assist 
      with the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in primary care settings 
      in China. Health coaches will support participants to improve modifiable risk 
      factors and adhere to effective self-management treatments associated with T2DM. 
      METHODS/DESIGN: A cluster randomised controlled trial involving 22 Community 
      Health Centres (CHCs) in Fengtai District of Beijing, China. CHCs will be 
      randomised into a control or intervention group, facilitating recruitment of at 
      least 1320 individual participants with T2DM into the study. Participants in the 
      intervention group will receive a combination of both telephone and face-to-face 
      health coaching over 18 months, in addition to usual care received by the control 
      group. Health coaching will be performed by CHC doctors and nurses certified in 
      coach-assisted chronic disease management. Outcomes will be assessed at baseline 
      and again at 6, 12 and 18 months by means of a clinical health check and 
      self-administered questionnaire. The primary outcome measure is HbA1c level. 
      Secondary outcomes include metabolic, physiological and psychological variables. 
      DISCUSSION: This cluster RCT has been developed to suit the Chinese health care 
      system and will contribute to the evidence base for the management of patients 
      with T2DM. With a strong focus on self-management and health coach support, the 
      study has the potential to be adapted to other chronic diseases, as well as other 
      regions of China. TRIAL REGISTRATION: Current Controlled Trials ISRCTN01010526.
