Baseline and 6\u2010month assessments measured diabetes distress (DD), depressive symptoms and perceived support (from family\/friends, health care team and peers) along with other RE\u2010AIM metrics.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Calculations for reach and adoption found that 3% of eligible adults enrolled in REACHOUT and 55% of diabetes education centres participated in recruitment efforts. Maintenance metrics revealed 56% and 24% of peer supporters and participants, respectively, became peer supporters for a subsequent randomized controlled trial of REACHOUT. Post\u2010intervention reductions were observed for overall distress (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.007), powerlessness (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.009), management distress (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.001), social perception distress (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.023), eating distress (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.032) and depressive symptoms (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.009); and elevations in support from family\/friends and peers. After adjusting for sex and age, only support\u2010related improvements persisted. When analysing women and men groups separately, women reported lower levels of overall distress, three distress subscales, and higher levels of family\/friends and peer support whereas men did not.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>While reach was relatively low, metrics for adoption and maintenance are promising. Improvements in distress were observed for the total sample, but these changes were reduced when controlling for sex and age, with significance maintained only for women.
