Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Type 2 diabetes is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality among American Indians (AIs) in the United States. Although healthy diet is a key component of diabetes management programs, many AIs face barriers to adopting a healthy diet including: difficulty budgeting for food on low-incomes, low literacy and numeracy when purchasing food, and limited cooking skills. The proposed project will evaluate a culturally-targeted healthy foods budgeting, purchasing, and cooking skills intervention aimed at improving the cardio-metabolic health of AIs with type 2 diabetes who live in rural areas.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The research activities proposed in this application address a pressing need in American Indian (AI) communities - the evaluation of a culturally-tailored healthy food budgeting, purchasing, and cooking intervention to see whether it can improve diet and health among AIs with type 2 diabetes.

This randomized clinical trial will compare the efficacy of a culturally-tailored healthy food budgeting, purchasing, and cooking program on: (1) diet quality (i.e., intake of sugar-sweetened beverages, processed foods) and (2) healthy food budgeting and cooking skills, among AIs with type 2 diabetes who reside in a large AI community in the north-central United States. Additionally, the investigators will conduct a mixed methods process evaluation to assess intervention reach, fidelity, and participant satisfaction. Curriculum will be tailored to an AI population with diabetes, and directly address major barriers to healthy eating that were identified by community members and tribal leaders in recent focus groups including: (1) difficulty budgeting for food on low-incomes; (2) low literacy and numeracy when purchasing food (e.g., inability to use in-store scales to convert foods priced "per pound" to dollar values); (3) limited cooking skills. The investigators expect that implementation of a culturally-tailored diet intervention will be effective in promoting positive diet change, and increase healthy food budgeting and cooking skills.

Poorly controlled diabetes affects the health/longevity of those afflicted, and has profound effects on healthcare costs. Greater efforts are needed to encourage healthy eating in underserved communities with a high burden of diabetes. Improving healthy food budgeting, purchasing, and cooking skills among AIs with diabetes should improve diet and diabetes management. If successful, this program can be extended to other AI communities.
