Brief Summary:
The current study proposes to study the feasibility and acceptability of the Families Preventing Diabetes Together Intervention among 40 families who have one parent diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and at least 1 child between the ages of 5-14 years of age. Successful recruitment, measurement and randomization of patients and their families will provide data for our aim of assessing feasibility. Patient and family participation in the intervention and feedback via the post-intervention surveys will provide data for our aim of acceptability.
Detailed Description:
The current study is a randomized controlled trial with 40 families. Twenty families will be randomly assigned to receive usual care consisting of diabetes education delivered through Fairview Health Services. An additional 20 families will be randomized to a family-based, in-person program that focuses on nutrition education, the development of meal planning and cooking skills and promotion of healthful eating for families; the program will augment usual care and diabetes education received from Fairview Health Services for the parent with diabetes. Parents with diabetes who are randomized to the intervention group will also participate in one goal-setting phone call with intervention staff at one point during the intervention program.
Adult patients and their families will be recruited in two ways:
1. from Fairview Health Service's clinics in the North metropolitan area with the assistance of Fairview Health Service diabetes educators, and
2. through MyChart messages informing them about the study.
Adults between the ages of 25 and 55 years who have a diagnosis of Type 2 diabetes, who have participated in at least some diabetes education through Fairview Health Services, and who have at least one child between the ages of 7-12 years of age will be invited to participate in the study. Successful recruitment, measurement and randomization of patients and their families will provide data for our aim of assessing feasibility. Patient and family participation in the intervention and feedback via the post-intervention surveys will provide data for our aim of acceptability.
