Type II diabetes is a chronic health condition and its successful management requires effective patient-provider communication. Responding to a call to model pathways between provider communication and patient health outcomes, this study tested four models of type II diabetic patient adherence with four mediators. Given the complex nature of type II diabetic care, patient adherence was conceptualized as wellness, screening, medication, and treatment adherence. Mediators included patient understanding, agreement, trust, and motivation. A sample of U.S. patients with type II diabetes patients who were both under the care of a medical provider and taking medication for their type II diabetes completed online surveys ( n  = 793). Findings indicated that the relationships between patient-centered communication and adherence outcomes were mediated by proximal outcomes. The results contribute to the understanding of patient-centered communication, adherence behaviors, and proximal outcomes of patient understanding, agreement, trust, and motivation. Findings indicate that relationships between patient-centered communication and wellness adherence is mediated by patient motivation, patient-centered communication and screening adherence is mediated by patient agreement, trust, and motivation, and patient-centered communication and treatment adherence is mediated by patient agreement, trust, and motivation. The discussion addresses theoretical and practical implications and directions for future research.
