Integrating Cultural Aspects Into Diabetes Education

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: PreDiabetes

In brief

The goal of this study is to examine the efficacy of the video-based Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) + Community-supported agriculture (CSA) (hereafter INCLUDE) intervention compared with a wait-list control group (hereafter CONTROL) on diabetes prevention among Chinese immigrants with T2D in NYC. Participants will be randomized with equal allocation to one of the two groups. The INCLUDE group will receive one culturally tailored DPP brief video/week for 24 weeks delivered via WeChat. They will also have access to the CSA program that Co-I Dr. Stella Yi has built in existing and ongoing community-partnered work in Brooklyn Chinatown. The CONTROL group will continue to receive their usual care and, at the end of the study, they will receive DPP videos. Measurements will occur at baseline, 3, and 6 months. This study will provide critical information on whether it is efficacious to use an existing social media platform plus CSA support to enhance access to DPP. If the intervention is proven efficacious, this project can provide important data for future scaling of this intervention. This study may serve as a transformative new model to enhance access to culturally tailored diabetes education and promote health equity for underserved limited English proficiency (LEP) immigrant and minority groups.
