HBHS
Participants in the HBHS arm received the Wholeness, Oneness, Righteousness, Deliverance Diabetes Prevention Program Lifestyle Intervention (WORD DPP) with the addition of church-level policy changes to support the individual behavioral intervention of the WORD DPP. The WORD DPP is a faith-based diabetes prevention curriculum that teaches participants to connect faith and health to have a healthy weight, eat healthy, and be physically active. The WORD DPP-LI includes 16 modules that are intended to be delivered over a 24 week period, each module approximately 90 minutes in length. Church-level changes to support healthier behaviors include improvements in food purchasing and preparation for events, physical activity programs, and increased congregational engagement in health promotion activities. HBHS: Faith based diabetes curriculum that teaches participants to connect faith and health plus church-level policy changes that encourages participants to engage in healthy behaviors.
HBHS Policy
Participants in the HBHS Policy arm included members of churches enrolled in the HBHS study who did not receive the WORD DPP intervention (ie, these participants were exposed to only the church-level policy changes). Church-level changes to support healthier behaviors include improvements in food purchasing and preparation for events, physical activity programs, and increased congregational engagement in health promotion activities. HBHS Policy: Church-level policy changes that encourages participants to engage in healthy behaviors.
WORD DPP
Participants in the WORD DPP arm included participants enrolled in a separate DPP study without the church-level policy changes (ie, these participants received only the WORD DPP intervention). The WORD DPP is a faith-based diabetes prevention curriculum that teaches participants to connect faith and health to have a healthy weight, eat healthy, and be physically active. The WORD DPP-LI includes 16 modules that are intended to be delivered over a 24 week period, each module approximately 90 minutes in length.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, 6 months post-intervention

Population: Number of participants engaging in sufficient physical activity at baseline and 6 months post-intervention (12 months post-initiation of the intervention).

Change in percentage of participants engaging in sufficient levels of physical activity (PA) from baseline to 6 months post-intervention (12 months post-initiation of the intervention). This self-report measure assessed participants' frequency of engaging in both moderate and vigorous levels of physical activity over the past month with two items. Both items used a 4-point response scale: 1) Rarely or Never; 2) Once a week; 3) 2-4 times a week; and 4) More than 4 times a week. Each 4-point scale for moderate PA and vigorous PA was weighted: 0=Rarely or Never; 1=Once a week; 2=2-4 times a week; and 4=More than 4 times a week. The weights were then summed and dichotomized as follows: ≥4 = sufficient PA and \<4 = insufficient PA. Items were adapted to include relevant cultural examples of physical activity from the DASH 2 Brief Physical Activity Questionnaire (link to original items provided in the References in the Protocol Section).

Timeframe: Baseline, 6 months post-intervention

Population: Only those with available baseline and follow-up data were analyzed.

Change in participants' sugar-sweetened beverage consumption from baseline to 6 months post-intervention (12 months post-initiation of the intervention). This self-report measure assessed participants' sugar-sweetened beverage consumption over the past 30 days using two questions from 'Module 14: Sugar Sweetened Beverages' of the CDC's Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS). Participants could respond in number of times per day, per week, or per month. Responses for each question were converted to number of times per day (i.e., self-reported times per week divided by 7 or self-reported times per month divided by 30), resulting in two measures: number times soda was consumed per day and number of times sugar-sweetened fruit drinks, sweet tea, and sports drinks were consumed per day. Per BRFSS guidelines, these two measures were added together to create a total daily SSB consumption rate.

Population: Only those with available baseline and follow-up data were analyzed.

Change in participants' fruit and vegetable consumption from baseline to 6 months post-intervention (12 months post-initiation of the intervention). This self-report measure assessed participants' fruit and vegetable consumption over the past three months using three questions adapted from: Shannon et al (1997) (reference provided in the References in the Protocol Section). Each of the three items was scored as Often=2; Sometimes=1; Never=0. Items were summed to create a scale score, giving a possible range of scores of 0-6, with higher scores indicating more frequent consumption of fruit and vegetables.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, 6 months post-intervention

Population: Only those with available baseline and follow-up data were analyzed.

Change in perceived family support for exercise and dietary habits from baseline to 6 months post-intervention (12 months post-initiation of the intervention). This self-report measure was adapted to examine changes in perceived family support for engaging in healthy exercise and dietary habits. This measure consists of a 6-item scale adapted from: Gruber (2008) (reference provided in the References in the Protocol Section). Each of the 6 items are measured via 3 response options ("Often"=2; "Sometimes"=1; and "Never"=0), giving a possible range of scores of 0-12, with higher scores indicating higher perceived family support for exercising and eating healthier.
