Abstract (type = abstract)
Purpose: The purpose of this pilot study was to determine if the implementation of a weekly, culturally tailored diabetes prevention program for the Hispanic/Latino community, conducted by a bilingual multidisciplinary staff demonstrated a decrease in diabetes risk factors, such as hemoglobin A1c (HgbA1c) and/or body mass index (BMI), in 4 months.
Methods: Participants (N=30) were Hispanic/Latino adult, male and female with prediabetes. The pilot study used a pre-/post intervention design and offered 12 weeks of a one hour culturally tailored education session conducted in Spanish. The intervention was adapted from the Center for Disease Control (CDC) diabetes prevention program Prevent2 curriculum. The intervention focus was on lifestyle modifications to facilitate a reduction in HgbA1c and/or BMI. Clinical assessments were conducted at baseline and at the last education session.
Results: Mean participant age was 63.37 years. All participants were Spanish-speaking from Latin America. Most were female (73%). At 12 weeks, participants achieved a post intervention HgbA1c median difference of -0.1500 and a post intervention BMI median difference of -0.5100.
Implications for practice: This culturally tailored diabetes prevention program for the high-risk Hispanic/Latino population, demonstrated preliminary effectiveness in reduction of HgbA1c and/or BMI. Further research is necessary to identify ways to increase prediabetes awareness via routine screening and delivery of cost effective diabetes prevention programs in this high-risk population.
