Study summary

Geographic analyses of diabetes burden have found that poor glycemic control, high rates of diabetes-related hospital utilization, and a high prevalence of microvascular diabetic complications all cluster in the same neighborhoods.This proposed study seeks to identify Black barbers with undiagnosed diabetes or prediabetes using point-of-care HbA1c testing, perform qualitative interviews to identify health behaviors that may explain poor sugar control, and develop a workplace-based food intervention to promote primary prevention and test its effect on sugar control in these individuals.

Study arms

  • Experimental
    Dietary intervention

    Community-based dietary intervention to Black and African American barbers identified as having previously undiagnosed diabetes and prediabetes

    Behavioral: Dietary intervention

Interventions

  • BehavioralDietary intervention

    Over a 60-day period, participants will receive healthy lunches that provide a hand-delivered healthy alterative to their current diets.

06

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Adherence to the intervention during the initial 60-day period when lunches are provided at no cost

    Adherence will be calculated as the proportion of participants continuing to consume at least 80% of the lunch meals at the end of the initial intervention period when lunches will be provided at no cost.

    Time frame: 60 days

  2. Continuation with the dietary intervention after initial period when study participants may choose to pay for meals developed on their own

    proportion of participants continue to purchase meals after the initial intervention period when individuals will be given the option to continue the intervention but paying for the lunch meals themselves.

    Time frame: Until the end of the two year study period

Secondary outcomes

  1. Photographic food and beverage diaries

    Study participants will take photos of all food and beverages ingested over a 72-hourperiod to provide quantitative data on baseline dietary patterns

    Time frame: Baseline

  2. First Point-of-care Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) test

    This first baseline point-of-care HbA1c test will be used as a reference.

    Time frame: Baseline

  3. Second Point-of-care HbA1C test

    This second baseline point-of-care HbA1c test will be used to identify any changes in glycemic control that developed after initial diagnosis of diabetes or prediabetes by the first point-of-care test.

    Time frame: Baseline (3-6 months after first test)

  4. Third Point-of-care HbA1C test

    This post-treatment HbA1c test will be used to identify whether there was any short-term change in glycemic control after the dietary intervention

    Time frame: Post treatment (3 months after the intervention)

  5. Fourth Point-of-Care HbA1c Test

    This post-treatment HbA1c test will be used to identify whether there was any longer-term change in glycemic control after the dietary intervention

    Time frame: Post-Treatment (6 to 12 months after the intervention)
