Proposed Project
A Comprehensive Evaluation of an Approach to Self-Management:
``Diabetes: Living My Best Life''--New--National Center for Chronic
Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description: African-American women are more
than twice as likely as white women to be diagnosed with diabetes, and
two and one-half times as likely to die from diabetic complications.
The onset of type 2 diabetes in African-American adults is attributable
not only to a genetic link, but also to an unhealthy lifestyle. The
vast number of African-American women with type 2 diabetes report
having a sedentary lifestyle and eating a diet high in fat. In addition
to taking medications, lifestyle modifications, such as changes in
diet, weight loss and participating in a low-impact exercise program,
can significantly reduce the complications experienced by women with
type 2 diabetes. Unfortunately, there is a scarcity of training and
educational materials on type 2 diabetes targeting the African-American
woman. The limited availability of targeted educational materials has
undoubtedly contributed to an inability to manage and control this
disease in this population and has resulted in a higher prevalence of
disease-related co-morbidities. There is a need for innovative
interventions that can be used in a variety of settings and which
feature culturally appropriate information that will engage African-
American women with type 2 diabetes in a proactive role in the
treatment and management of their disease.
The proposed project is the evaluation of a CD-ROM educational
program: ``Diabetes: Living My Best Life.'' This product has been
developed to teach African American women with type 2 diabetes self-
management skills. Social Learning Theory (SLT) was used in the
development of the product and the selection of the media elements.
Selection of the information and tools was guided by input from an
advisory board composed of professionals in the field and African
American women with type 2 diabetes.
To evaluate this program there will be two questionnaires: a pre-
test and a post-test. The two questionnaires will include questions on:
Respondent demographic information (pre-test only).
Respondent use of computers (pre-test only).
Knowledge of diabetes.
Self-efficacy in addressing diabetes self-management
issues.
Diabetes self-care activities.
Feeling of empowerment around diabetes self-management.
Social learning theory elements (post-test only).
Pre and post intervention data will be collected by computer.
Burden estimates are based on observation of African-American women
with type 2 diabetes who completed a formal pilot test of the pre and
post-test forms. There are no costs to respondents except their time to
participate in the survey.
