详细描述
Standard, effective, and scalable training models are needed to help equip community health workers in their community-based diabetes prevention awareness efforts. This study will tailor/adapt, implement, and evaluate an innovative internet-based virtual world model to remotely deliver a diabetes prevention awareness training program to community health workers. A sequential mixed-methods design is used to address these specific aims: 1. Use community-based participatory research methods to guide the overall study and inform tailoring and adaptation of our virtual world model to deliver the CHW training program; 2. Conduct a randomized pilot study to compare change in primary outcomes (0, 12 weeks) after the in-person versus virtual world delivery of the program; and 3. Conduct summative focus groups to gather information to refine the program and study methodology.
