Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Baseline Assessments will include:
Finger-sticks for lipids, glucose, and HbA1c%, BIA body composition assessments including height and weight, waist circumference, blood pressure, and questionnaire completion.
Questionnaires will include:
Health History Questionnaire Physical activity and sedentary behavior (IPAQ-short form) (10-15minutes) Dietary intake (3-day dietary recall via ASA24) (Online-15 minutes for each recall) Stress (PSS-10) (10minutes) Sleep quantity and quality (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index and Sleep Hygiene Index) (10-15 minutes) Nutrition security screener (5minutes) In addition to these questionnaires, participants will be asked to complete standard questions that are used in the CMA curriculum.
An accelerometer will be secured via an adhesive pocket attached to the front upper thigh, for at least 7 days from the time participants get up to the time they go to bed.
Following baseline assessments, participants will be randomized to the CMA only or the CMA+ arm of the study. Participants randomized to the CMA+ arm will also have a CGM attached to their upper arm (non-dominant hand). Once at least 20 participants have been enrolled, the cooking classes will be scheduled in cohorts of 12-15 participants per study arm, based on limited capacity in the Nutrition Center kitchen. Multiple cohorts will be enrolled during the 2-year period of the grant up to enrollment of 120 participants.
The CMA Curriculum will be used for both arms of the intervention. Participants will attend cooking and educational sessions once per week for 6 weeks. In addition, participants will receive recipes and produce boxes with instructions to prepare the recipe at some point prior to their next class. Participants will also be invited to the online Google Classroom site where all intervention materials (according to the study arm they are randomized to) will be housed for their convenience. Each week, participants will collect their fecal samples in the privacy of their own homes and will return them at their next cooking class. Investigators will provide paper bags that are opaque for privacy for participants to use for returning their samples. Participants will also complete a final fecal sample before the follow-up (kits provided at the final cooking class, for a total of 6 fecal samples per participant in the CMA+ arm). Using a basic collection scoop in a DNA/RNA shield is recommended for this purpose.
The CMA+ arm will also use the CMA Curriculum, but will also include enhanced elements, such as diabetes-specific nutrition and cooking information, and online educational information as well as short assignments and activities regarding sleep, stress, physical activity, and sedentary behaviors. The CMA+ arm will also have the opportunity to use a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) for 10 days immediately following the baseline assessment visit. This will be an optional component and participants will not be excluded if they do not wish to use the CGM.
For both arms, the Google Classrooms platform will be used to house curriculum materials, allow for social interaction and questions to the researchers, and will include videos of cooking demonstrations, ideas for the enhanced arm about how to implement strategies for behavior change for lifestyle behaviors (sleep, physical activity, dietary intake, sedentary behavior, and stress).
Follow-up (at 6 weeks):
Following the completion of the 6-week intervention period, follow-up assessments will be conducted again via appointment at BHS 343 (these will be identical to the baseline assessment visit without the CGM or informed consent processes. Additionally, only 1 24-hour food recall will be conducted at this follow-up visit. These procedures will include Finger-sticks for lipids, glucose, and HbA1c%, BIA body composition assessments including height and weight, waist circumference, blood pressure, and questionnaire completion. Finally, 6-weeks after completion of the cooking classes, researchers will follow up via phone, email, or Zoom (participants will provide their preferred method of contact) to complete follow-up assessments of current lifestyle practices and barriers to fruit and vegetable consumption. This will allow investigators to determine preliminary adherence to any changes from baseline.
If a participant discontinues their participation in the study, any data collected up to that point will be retained for analysis, following the intent-to-treat principle. Since blood will only be collected through finger-stick samples, these will be immediately analyzed upon collection, and the blood will be safely disposed of in a biohazard container. Sharps will be discarded in designated sharps containers. There will be no storage of plasma or blood samples.
All data will be promptly entered into the study database and will be identified solely by a unique study ID number (a randomly generated 3-digit code combined with the study abbreviation and visit number). To ensure confidentiality, all data will be deidentified for storage (electronic and paper-based) public presentations and subsequent publications. Any personally identifiable information will be stored exclusively in hard copy, within a locked file cabinet, accessible only to the Principal Investigator and authorized study personnel. The CMA comprises 6 nutrition education workshops. Over the 2-year study period. We will deliver a series of 5 sessions (2 months duration) including 2 cohorts in each session, for a total of 10 cohorts of 12-15 participants. The sessions will be led by a Nutrition Sciences graduate student who is seeking the Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) credential or who already holds the RDN credential.
Arm 1) CMA: 6 didactic sessions delivered once per week for 6 weeks
* Lesson 1: Let's Get Cooking!
* Lesson 2: Choosing Fruits, Vegetables and Whole Grains
* Lesson 3: Healthy Starts at Home
* Lesson 4: The Power of Planning
* Lesson 5: Shopping Smart
* Lesson 6: Recipes for Success
Arm 2) CMA+: 6 didactic sessions + Enhanced cooking classes with added components comprising cooking practices specific to diabetes prevention, strategies for increasing self-efficacy for fruit and vegetable consumption, and weekly produce distribution.
o After completion of the program, participants who are eligible will be referred to a DSMPE, diabetes nutrition education and cooking classes (6 weeks) through the Southern Nevada Health District.
• Six weeks after intervention completion, we will follow-up with program participants through phone and/or email to determine sustainability of any behavioral changes, and to better understand barriers to fruit and vegetable consumption.
