Brief Summary:
Arab Americans AA face many challenges in diabetes self-management due to the limited educational resources and support available for them The cultural and linguistic barriers between patients and health care providers lead to poor diabetes management and outcomes This study Project Dulce Arabic is adapted from the Project Dulce an American Diabetes Association ADA-recognized Diabetes Self-Management Education Support DSMES program Project Dulce Arabic comprises both peer-led diabetes education in Arabic and a 3-month text messaging program Dulce Digital The main aim of the study is to examine the effectiveness of a more culturally and linguistically appropriate diabetes education program in improving diabetes knowledge beliefs and self-management as well as hemoglobin A1C
Detailed Description:
Although the Arab American AA population is at a higher risk of pre-diabetes and type 2 diabetes T2D compared to the white non-Hispanic population there are hardly any culturally appropriate diabetes self-management resources available for Arab Americans
Project Dulce Arabic is a pilot study addressing both the linguistic and cultural barriers faced by the AA community in diabetes self-management while exploring the genetic background of type 2 diabetes in Arab Americans To overcome the linguistic barriers we adapt educational materials from the Project Dulce diabetes self-management study of Mexican Americans A Philis-Tsimikas et al 2011 This 5-week peer-led educational program in Arabic aims to enhance type 2 diabetes knowledge beliefs and self-management behaviors as well as improving diabetes management measured by hemoglobin A1C after 3 months and 6 months in the study
Project Dulce Arabic is incorporating genetic education as a part of its curriculum to raise the community awareness of the role of genetics in T2D development as well as the importance of early genetic risk detection for T2D prevention We are also asking our Project Dulce Arabic participants to participate in the Scripps Bio-Repository httpswwwscrippsorgresearchbio-repository The specimens obtained from our study cohort will be used for genetic sequencing Obtaining this genetic information will enable us to gain more insights into the genetic basis of type 2 diabetes in Arab Americans Comparing the genetic risk of T2D available from different biobanks in other ethnic groups with that in Arab Americans would highlight the disease risk faced by the community and draw more attention towards the importance of early disease detection and prevention through tailored screening recommendations
