Overview
Brief Summary
The study explored the effects of the cardiovascular disease risk reduction intervention on diabetes fatalism, self-care activities, social support, knowledge, perceived self-managment among a rural population.
Detailed Description
An experimental pretest-posttest control group design was used to assess the effects of a diabetes health promotion intervention among participants recruited from rural churches located in the southern United States. The intervention, called Project Power, is a culturally relevant, church-based diabetes education program that was developed by the American Diabetes Association (ADA). Participating churches were randomized to experimental and control groups using random numbers tables having numerical parity no greater than 2. Since an individual church is the unit of randomization, all of the participants in that church received the same treatment condition. Churches randomized to the intervention group received the health promotion program, and those designated to the control group received an educational brochure. Recruitment, data collection and intervention delivery, for the intervention group, occurred on the church grounds.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Diabetes Self-care Activities
Time Frame: Baseline
The Summary of Diabetes Self-care Activities (SDSCA) (Toobert, Hampson, \& Glascow, 2000) includes multiple choice questions and items about self-care behaviors answered in days per week. The internal consistency of the instrument is adequate (α = .71). The scores ranged from a minimum of 0 to a maximum of 105. Higher scores indicated better diabetes self-care.
Diabetes Knowledge
Time Frame: Baseline
The Revised Diabetes Knowledge Test: Michigan Diabetes Research Center (Fitzgerald et al., 2016) is a 23-item multiple choice diabetes knowledge test. The scale has good reliability for both the general test (α = .77) and the insulin use subscale (α = .84). The twenty scored items were worth 5 points each for a maximum of 100 points total. Higher scores indicated higher knowledge levels.
Change from Baseline Diabetes Self-care Activities at Three Weeks
Time Frame: Three weeks after baseline
