Diabetes Mellitus
Conditions
Brief summary
Racial and ethnic minorities with type II diabetes in the US are more likely to develop complications and die from the disease than the general population. The foreign-born subset of this population is less likely to adhere to diabetes care recommendations than US-born patients, thereby placing them at higher risk for complications. In our previous pilot project, eight stories were assessed through preliminary multi-site intervention for acceptability and efficacy in diabetes management among Latino and Somali patients with poorly controlled type II diabetes. The goal of this project is to evaluate a new format for delivery of a culturally tailored digital storytelling intervention by incorporating a facilitated group discussion following the videos, for management of type II diabetes in Latino communities.
Interventions
OTHERSelf-efficacy for diabetes management
Participants at both sites will watch a 12 minute video featuring the digital stories on diabetes. Following the video, participants will engage in a brief facilitated discussion regarding motivations and barriers to diabetes management, led by a trained Spanish-speaking facilitator.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Self-efficacy for diabetes management | Assessment will be done immediately after participants watch the intervention video | The evaluation will assess the degree to which the intervention motivates the patient to improve self-management of diabetes. The evaluation will also assess overall acceptability. Items for this survey were adapted from a well validated health communication assessment tool produced by the National Cancer Institute. |
